FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first


it's not that hard u guys come on

So with the hollandaise season upon us now, and that means it’s time to fight the hordes out shopping, get into a fight with your significant other about which placemats to use, and listen to your drunk uncle Ted rant about foreigners at the dinner table. Fortunately it also means that it’s time for yet another installment of the Sheep Game, where you can argue with your goon friends about who is the most correct about everything!

So, what is a sheep game? Here's you answer:

What the gently caress is a sheep

The game is not complicated.

1. There will be a list of questions at the bottom of this post. The object of the game is to provide the MOST COMMON response from the people playing the game, kind of like Family Feud. You receive one point for each person who provided the same answer. In other words, if the question was "What is best in life," and 10 players said "To crush your enemies," each of those players would receive 10 points. If 5 players said "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist," they would each receive 5 points. If 1 player said "Hello Kitty," he would receive 1 points (and the public condemnation of their peers).

2. Every question scores points, even if only one. The player with the MOST points, after all the questions are added up, wins the game.

3. There are no right or wrong answers - your job is to provide the MOST COMMON answer. So even if you really, really think that "The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist" is best in life, it might still be in your best interest to answer "To crush your enemies." This means that even a factually incorrect answer can score the most points! You have to decide what you think everyone else will say.

4. Some of the questions are vague - intentionally so! It's your job to interpret them as you think the majority of AI will.

How to be a Sheep

To play the Sheep Game, go to The Sheep Game Google Form and submit your answers there!

Once you have sent your entry, please post in this thread as confirmation.

You have until 11 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Thursday, December 21st) to submit your answers. The big reveal will be in this thread starting at or about 3 PM Pacific Time on Friday, December 22nd (2300 UTC on Friday, December 22nd), so set your calendars/alarm clocks/crude sundials made from old Jeep parts for the big day! I will be doing the reveal two questions per day with each reveal being posted at or about 3 PM Pacific Time, so you have some time to ridicule each other discuss your successes and failures.

Without further ado, the questions:

  1. The holidays might mean spending time with our Baby Boomer parents. This is the car of their generation that they just can’t stop talking about.
  2. This person is the greatest car designer of all time, and this is their greatest work.
  3. Oh no! Your daily driver just got totaled. What would you replace it with today?
  4. Speaking of getting a new car, this is the worst part of the whole process.
  5. Traveling on the holidays means spending time at gas stations. When people do this at a gas station, it drives me absolutely nuts.
  6. On the topic of traveling, this is the driving distance on a trip where I would say, “hmmm, maybe I’ll consider flying/taking the train instead of driving”.
  7. This car has been consistently beautiful across every generation it’s been made.
  8. On the other hand, this car has been consistently ugly across every generation it’s been made.
  9. Cars have been associated with historic events to varying degrees over the previous 140 years. This is the most significant car in history.
  10. On a somewhat similar note, I think that this is the most recognisable car model in history by the general public.
  11. When I see someone get out of this car model, I turn and walk away because I just know they are so awful.
  12. Similarly, you never hear of awful people driving these cars!
  13. In the last Sheep Game we asked, which car had the best headlight design of all time. This car has the best tail light design of all time.
  14. Sticking with the theme of design, this car has the best interior design of all time.
  15. There have been a lot of really neat cars announced in the last year or so. This is the one that intrigues me the most.
  16. On the other hand, this car announced in the last year or so that everyone seems to be interested in, and I don’t know why.
  17. EVs are as mainstream as any kind of car these days, but that doesn’t mean they will take over everything just yet. I think that this car will be the last one ever with an internal combustion engine.
  18. In response to the previous question, this is the year I think the last-ever internal-combustion powered car will be built.
  19. This state/province/region/country has the coolest-looking license plate design, in my opinion.
  20. On the other hand, this is the worst license plate design I’ve ever seen.


Once again, to submit your answers go to The Sheep Game Google Form and submit your answers before 11 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 20th (0700 UTC on Thursday, December 21st). See you all for the reveal!

It will be me, the bottom third boy.

I will be the platonic ideal of mediocre- I won't be the funniest, I won't be the best sheep, I will be somewhat right like two whole times.
