ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

it is oddly liberating to have this flurry of activity be about the esoteric forums drama of another thread which i know nothing about, complete with complicated lore and references which are entirely obscure to me

it's a kind of redux d&dchat

Management realized the forums were being unfairly deprived of the best posters, because we'd all settled into a pastel tower to gaze out over the kingdom. They had to tear down our works so that we might raise all the other subforums up as well. As detailed in the prophecy.

The HRU strategy of "being deliberately annoying with boring posts that look anodyne to casual passerby" is textbook fash stuff (ok sign) and mods should get away with it even less.

How is anybody in my sphere and still being like "can you believe these Republicans? Good thing dems finally thwarted em for good."

Mom, nobody who likes Jewish space lasers woman is going to change their mind about her because of the state of the union.

Also we came in dead last. NFL, new TV shows, and celebrity birth dates sunk us. I just start drawing dinosaurs on the tablecloth when those are the questions. Rawr motherfuckers.

Sounds like your crew needs to organize some NCIS: Las Vegas and Monday Night Football parties. The important thing is having fun.

Paper tablecloths and crayons on trivia night, because we are children. My biggest contribution is the team name. We were "Chinese Inflation Plot".

We know the trivia guy and I take delight in trying to get him to say something inappropriate. Best ever was "Hughe, Geoff, & Dick". He realized as soon as he verbalized it and glared right at us, he knew who punked him. "Easter joke: nailed it!" was another classic.

Yeah this is always fun with people I've given up on, uh, converting. Just start saying "death to capitalism" and "hail satan".

Quiz bowl was a big part of middle and high school for me, but my wife and I have soured on trivia nights at bars 'cause it seems like there's always at least one table cheating. Sometimes the organizers try to manage that and fail, other times they don't even pretend to care. Either way poo poo sucks.

Trivia at other bars was always like that, once or twice a few younger folks literally just openly Googling every question and yelling out the answer immediately, best the Mc could do was "cmon guys, don't ruin it for everybody".

Our guy, at our bar? A drunk dude did that once and it was a record scratch moment. Mc was essentially like "are you loving kidding me?" Whole room craned their heads to view this jackass, even grandmas were menacing him. His friend had him out of the building within 2 minutes.
