Assassins Round 3: Game Play

Postby hippietrekx » Sun Jul 02, 2006 4:41 am

The notifications are out! Assassins now know their targets, but who's playing? Who's not? Who's the first to die? Who will reign supreme? Who will forget to post in the thread and lose due to posting infrequency?

Stuff to remember:
--The Posting Frequency Rule is now set at 72 hours.
--You must place at least ten words in a post. If you fail to place ten words in a post, that post will NOT count towards resetting your Posting Frequency.
--All people (even non-players) can, and are encouraged to, post in this thread.
--Have a bunch of fun.

So, to get you all started: What are your plans for the remainder of July?

I'm probably going to spend it in front of the computer all month.

Say, isn't it appropriate that the topic ID of this thread is 1976?

I'm going to see Kansas play at the local park, then fireworks display!!! I can't believe the powers that be for our little town got Kansas to be the musical entertainment at the local park celebration. Last year they had Santana, a totally free concert.
After that its going to be the usual grind of work balanced out with lounging by the pool.

I'll probably grill a lot. I like grilling and July is a pretty good time to do it. Of course, I have been known to grill in January too. My grill never gets put away. My oven has gone for many months at a time without being used. To the point where I have to hit the gas valve with something to get it to open the first time when I try to use it.

Everyone: What are some of your favorite grilled foods?

Why is that? Was there a famous assassination in 1976 that I'm not remembering?

I was thinking of the bicentennial, and how the upcoming holiday is mentioned in the OP. I guess it is kind of a lame connection.

To answer your question, I don't much care for anything that's burned to a crisp in some places and left somewhat rare in others. Yech.

Ah, I see. Then we shall speak of this no more.

Yeah, me neither. Haven't you ever had good grilled food? That's sad, actually. I won't say I've never burned anything, but I can prepare a steak at home that far exceeds almost anything you can get at a restaurant. Seared on the outside, pink (not red) on the inside, juicy but not greasy and so tender you can cut it with your fork. You just have to know what you're doing.

Of course, if you don't know what you're doing, you can screw up cheese burgers. And to screw up hot dogs doesn't even require a grill, just ketchup.

Well, an ACME Ghost Detection Machine might come in handy. Do you have one of those? And a grilled steak, medium rare, as we've previously discussed. You see, if you really find the ghost, you may need the stake for protection, but finding a real medium is rare.

Are you sure that wasn't an answer to my question? Umop doesn't seem to like stuff from the grill.

Would you put ketchup on it?

Oh duh!

I don't know why, but I read "cheese burger"...

Ketchup would have been okay.

*cocks gun*

What birds are football teams named after?
(Seems like there would be a test about that at football camp!)

Why would I want you to say "red"?

As long as we can agree that FSM is greater than IPU, you can call them chartreuse with purple polka dots if you want to.

Have you forgotten how much I like this game, umop?


Edit to add:
Ah, minion, I've been waiting for you...

I'm grilling this evening. What would you like on your burgers?
