Misquote

All the game threads. (It's only teenage wasteland.)

Misquote

Postby pmcolt » Thu May 31, 2007 5:20 am

In the continuing tradition of me bringing y'all games that don't last very long, I give you the Misquote Game. (Hey, it works on other boards.)

The rules are simple. Scroll down to the last post in the thread. Hit the "quote" button. Find a sentence or two in that quote that look particularly interesting, and change a few words of the quote to make it even more interesting. Then, add a few sentences of your own responding to the misquoted text.

Will this game even make one page? Five posts? Did this game already exist in this forum, and it's so unpopular that it's no longer even on the first page? Who knows? Certainly not me!

I do assume that to have material to quote that we have to type SOMETHING down here, yes? See, DS misquotes me all the time, even going so far as to say that I'd let him sleep in my bed. Terrible. Where's the minds of young people gone to now? (I'd like to find mine, so if you do know of this mythical location, please, tell me.) Have a nice day.

That sounds like you'd enjoy having Dragon Star tie you down to a bed and having his "Dragonly Ways" with you, hard and often, as soon as possible.

One cannot help but wonder what kind of restraints that dungeon has. It is easy to imagine what someone who goes by Dom might want to do with them.

(First we get a non sequiturs game and now there's a strawman game. I love this place!)

Well, with an area like this for milling about, how are we poor little citizens supposed to fend for ourselves? Have we no rights? Can't we bleed if you stab us and thus leak with blood!?

I can understand you wanting to stab people. You enjoy inflicting pain among others. But why would you stab the innocents!??! You should leave the vulgar alone and go after people like BT and IDW.
Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion....you must first set yourself on fire.

Now, now, Jimmy, no reason to be jealous. The magic of duct tape is that it's so useful and so affordable. There's plenty enough for everyone.

Umop, it's just so nice that you're into science. And that you remember all of those laws named after strange old scientists! You're so love-able.

Maybe umop is just practicing being nice to lesser forms of life. Umop is, after all, kind to a fault.

I'd take a starship to 82 Eridani or someplace like that were it not for all the TV shows & my friends & beautiful sunsets that I'd be leaving behind. :D

Lighten up, umop, it's just a vacation. Think of all the beautiful sunsets you'll see there, and the postcards you could mail to your friends back home. It's not like you're hopping a starship to 82 Eridani or someplace like that. :P

Why not? It says "inflammable" right on the tank. Besides, how else am I going to find the source of that gas leak?

Be careful with that, pmcolt. If it's an authentic one, bearing an "Imported from Scotland" sticker, it won't let you finish until it gets a pint.

If the sticker says, “Reared in Scotland”, I hope you get the point.

It's really very simple, umop. First you twist it, then you lick it, then you... oh, darn. How does that go?

Of course, you don't receive a dollar for buying a drink of whisky, you pay for it.
