Yeah I used to use Sriracha as a ketchup replacement. It’s pretty tasty as a go to general use sauce. I need to build my heat tolerance back up as my cupboard is full of sauces.

Sriracha is a fine general purpose sauce thing. I even had it on mozza sticks once, and it worked. Hot sauce wise, I don't bother with all the weird ones named "reaper" this or "rear end destroyer" that. Mostly I just stick to Valentina, or Valentina extra hot. It's cheap and good.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.



I have one of these somewhere. I don't even play Yu-Gi-Oh.

The evolutions are amazing. Mainly because this means that somebody realized that blaziken doesn't evolve from sandshrew, cared enough to fix it in a reprint, and that's it. And shelder evolving into gengar is something I'd buy if all I had to go on were those two pictures.

It's too bad that stash doesn't include Dr Foots which is one of the best Dr Pepper clones there is(as it's produced by the company that used to bottle Dr Pepper in The Netherlands, once they lost the right they instantly made their own knockoff) It still uses sugar as a sweetener too.

The manufacturer's page about it is quite entertaining too.

I wasn't saying people don't know who they are. But how else do you categorize raising the price on black Friday, selling a literal box of poo poo, selling literally nothing, and digging a hole? Sounds to me like they're just doing things to say "Hey we exist!"

Those are way more interesting ways of advertising than most.

Also I made $300 off the Bullshit boxes. At one point they were selling for 30ish bucks a pop.

That's true. Maybe I'm alone in thinking the game is bad and the advertisements aren't really funny in any way.

And I'm curious why did you buy so many boxes of literal poo poo and why were people willing to pay extra for a box of literal poo poo?

I still absolutely love that there were people who were complaining loudly that the Box of Bullshit had actual, bona fide poo poo from a bull in it.

Wasn't this originally done as part of a Black Friday protest by the makers? Same with the price markup they do on just Black Friday? I tough that was how it started, and then they realized what a PR coup it was and just kept doing the weird things for Black Friday.

I don't like the game, but the advertisements are a pretty good exemplar of late stage capitalism, which is a laughing into the void type of funny.

Although CAH has inspired a shitload of knockoffs thanks to the "no retail" policy they used to have. Which is pretty fitting for this thread. I still don't get how it's caught on since it's just non sequiturs that would get someone ostracized from a group any other time. But if it's on a card it becomes completely cool to respond to "things I think about during sex ________" with "date rape" (admittedly the date rape card is gone in editions) but it was funny to the devs at one time which :stare:

I played one called Cards Against Librarianship at a staff holiday party and the cards were either doing something ironic or inappropriate in a stereotypical library environment or drinking oneself to death. Kinda like an R-rated Unshelved.

I dunno. I had more fun playing library-themed Never Have I Ever at a library conference.

CAH is by nature not copyrighted, and they're very open about welcoming unofficial expansion packs etc. That was part of the initial draw. Crabs Adjust Humidity is just as legit as Cards Against Humanity.

Yeah the rules of a game cannot be protected anyway so as long as you change the art you're good. It's why you can find websites dedicated to just hosting plain text versions of the rules to DnD and other similar RPG's.
