some things in life mean nothing. they're just distractions, ways to keep busy. you can make big deals out of them if you want: assign meaning or attach emotion. but often it's not what you think at all. quite often, there is no point, perhaps like the game, heads-up 7-up.*

7 people are picked to be "it." Everyone else puts their heads down and thumbs up, in plain view. The 7 It people each tap one person's thumb, and the tapped thumbs go down. When the Its are finished, they go to the front of the room. The tapped ones (thumbs down) stand up, and try to identify their tapper (one guess). Those who are correct get to take the place of the It person who tapped them. The game is repeated until everyone gets bored with it. There is no point to this game.
