I'll start, the police light is a direct import from the Drudge Report bought to make fun of people in D&D when there were unbelievable amounts of W supporters

:goku: is an inside joke where we made fun of someone on the internet.

That someone really hated to hear us talking about goku's pants.

I think it might've been a webcomic artist who came to this forum to plug their work for some reason. People didn't really cooperate.

you could probably come up with a pretty fun trivia game where one player is shown an emote, and the other players all have to come up with a fake origin story for it. then those are mixed in with the real explanation, and the first player has to guess which one is true.

That actually reminds me of a board game Balderdash where you'd read out an obscure English word, everyone would write down what they thought it meant (I think the reader got the actual definition) and everyone would vote on what they thought was right

Basically now that I think of it the precursor to Apples to Apples and thus Cards Against Humanity

Okay that's what this thread is about now: gently caress what they actually mean, what do they mean in your mind

:smugteddie:

This is somehow mocking Sonic fans
