I will go unless I have laboratory responsibilities or I go through a weird moody phase around that time.

Oh Hell! is much more fun than it deserves to be given its name.

Not sure why you need tailored cards for it, though.

We just do tricks + 10 points for guessing correctly.

Since this makes the points-allocation outcome dichotomous, wouldn't it be simpler to just increase the bid-making bonus?

It is pretty unlikely tho.

I just got OFF of Starcraft.

Now I'm watching shows.

I'm not a good player or anything btw; I just like the story/flavor of the original game a lot, so I have to see what happens next until they make it an MMO and destroy everything.

Ideally I get in on all days, but I'm likely coming regardless and it doesn't weigh that heavily as a factor that would stop me, I'd just get my own room for those nights (or possibly use DGBS if there is room).

I like neither of those bands (much), but I also find the idea of drunk gays singing those kinds of songs somewhat exciting.

I'm sure plenty of people will drive with extra car spots and stuff.

BTW does anyone wanna drive with me? I'm in Lexington, KY. Would love to either pick someone else up or be picked up. I don't recall anyone else being in the way, though.

Also I am kinda post-drunk and/or drunk so /yay /partyjoinin.

Guys will you recommend some road trip songs for me to download prior to my 6 hour drive or whatever?

Iecerint · Post Post #1568 (isolation #52) » Mon May 20, 2013 3:59 pm

The kind that I do not get bored of after 30 seconds and that simultaneously lasts for 6 hours overall.

Like I sometimes use 69 Love Songs for this minus the shit ones.

Iecerint · Post Post #1570 (isolation #53) » Mon May 20, 2013 4:03 pm

1. Top pop hits of the 1800s and early 1900s.
2. Top electro hits of the 1980s that I do not know already.
3. Top songs that sound like they are from Xenomania circa 2006 or so.
4. Top pretty gay songs from after 2000 (bonus points for also meeting criterion #3).
5. Top 1990s bands that sound like Pulp or at least had one single like that.
6. Maybe a light tan is nice.

I switched to the middle of that album and it sounds kind of like the good parts of early Christian Death.

It totally felt that way. "Hey guys, let's split up! You two can sleep in the dark room next to the abyss...."

Iecerint · Post Post #2173 (isolation #74) » Fri Jun 07, 2013 8:24 am

This is my attempt:

Spoiler:

Of AP's feathers you cannot be a ruffler
You'll not find a handsomer or smarter scummer
Maybe taller, but that wouldn't matter!

MattP is a devoted helper
Zealous in the service of the other
Heedless of even his own hunger.

Is Reck funnier, or warmer?
Of all his acquaintances he is an ardent lover
And of a group he is the universal connector.

There is none gentler, kinder, lovelier
Than Iecerint - or call him whatever
What a powerful friendship magnet!

Red goes up as in a thermometer
When shouting like a caught trickster
BBMolla's face is ignited!

CDB is a soother
"Mafia look up! Acknowledge each other."
Please say it again, I have a recorder.

Faraday must be some mind-reader
No game is a starter
Unless he pegs Mina as a scummer.

Frequency was a volunteer
ReaperCharlie impersonator
Now he's working up the ranks to be cult leader.

You couldn't possibly be drunker
Than UberNinja the fake buccaneer
Or could you? It's quite the mind-boggler.

This gentle trolling rager
Puts your logic in a twister
Fate is an artful deceiver.

Like a songbird, Amrun is a serenader
In a crabby mood, never!
Is that La Callas in the shower?

Very popular with the voters
CES is the worst bus'er
He'll toss you under an 18-wheeler.

I don't know who is terser
Or wiser or hairier
Could it be Chamber?

This New Yorker won't play Mafier
Ether is a shouting Karaoker
Wrapped in fifty shades of enigmer.

His trolling gets better and better
Patrick's m/utters matter
But of his alignment you'll never be a reader.

His jokes are brain-twisters
And he's the worst of liars
Quadz is an eager cuber.

Singer's beautiful soul plumbs deeper
Than most of your peepers
Open your heart, and in you shall let her.

Than you, he is much smarter
Your trust he will surely shatter
But Gamma will make this more fun than ever.

So comely is Nuwen's kisser
So resplendent her demeanor
Deprived of her sight no one should be made to suffer.

To find someone nicer
Grimm must peer into a mirror
Only his reflection has a sweeter temper.

Mina can't be tinier and brainier
Yet she sings like a voluminous warbler
Like candy it's hard not to love her.

Minineko is cured of his forum paranoid disorder
In life he could be a sheep herder
So tranquil and pastoral is his character.

With Glork, going off the buzzer
And dancing like a cartoon monster
Is now a proven scum-teller!

Won't you play the piano, Maestro, Sir?
Or are you some other kind of performer?
Let's see if you are much of a dancer!

Trollie is ebullient, exuberant, even chipper
But don't call him scum or he will change his color
And of your head, he'll be a biter.

None is taller or cooler or chiller
Than Axxle the quiet scummer
We all hope next time he stays longer!

WTF AD you fakeclaimed a guilty on me!
I don't care if anything rhymes with 'er' anymore
Mate you gave me some great fun and stories to tell with that one.
