This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Omega;945968Wasnt that the term admin used to have for ban collectors?

Well.... after some quick Google-Fu...

1. It's a reference to Bill Brasky and a group of skits he did on SNL in the 1970's
2. It's slang for some guy pissing in a women's asshole while drunk/high during sex

Thanks guys how gross. I now remember why I love this place. You can be an asshole if you wish just be the right kind of asshole.;)

Quote from: everloss;945889Heh. I chuckled. Reminded me of that old song by the Bloodhound Gang about the trucker.
Said song is quite likely the inspiration of the OP, methinks;).

Quote from: GrognardFightingMan;945904Boy, this is gaming history.  Do you know how match strange you could get in the Gen Con jakes back in the early 80s?
Since I've been in the early years of my life in the early 80ies, I neither know nor care:)!
(For that matter, I wouldn't have been able to visit, being on another continent and not speaking English yet. I started my foreign language-learning with French, roughly at the same time you mention:D).

QuoteLots of spotty, nervous, nerdy dudes looking for any which way to bust a nut.
The description can also double as an explanation for their condition;).

QuoteYou just brought your own Crisco, and there was a good time to be had between gaming and eating ribs.
If you swing that way, I guess. I don't, so it doesn't interest me, whether true or not:). (And in your OP, you said you hadn't brought your Crisco, so I guess there were exceptions:D!)
Mind, it's fine that you swung that way, but once again - why did you decide your personal memories in this case are of interest to the wider forum community? That's about the first time I see Tracy Hickman mentioned on this forum, if we don't count the mentions of "the railroads from hell that the Dragonlance modules were";)!

There was an rpg forum, once. That was slightly more inane than this here site and filled with tons of in-jokes, as well as a special sub-board for drunken posting.
It was called AnimalBall, and the biggest chaotic-neutral mischievious of the whole bunch was called AnimalBrasky.

They also produced some RPGs.

It is known.

ADD: Such an elaborate OP is not just a mere troll, so I felt reminded of the more convoluted, if tasteless, schemes that Brasky and his buddies liked to further.

Fatal???

GrognardFightingMan

I know the man who made the infamous FATAL and he says that he did up as a loving tribute to OD&D.

Well, this thread is definitely good for expanding your Anal Circumference.

Like Timecube, only legible and not so fake-design-geek focused.

Who really reads grognard interviews anyway.

Sommerjon

Still trying to figure out how this has anything to do with roleplaying games.

My bad guess this falls under gossip.

To be gossip the OP would have to at least pretend to be serious. It is a joke, poorly told.

Yep I expected it to be relocated immediately, but nope?

Gronan of Simmerya

Apparently doing a really shitty Hunter S. Thompson imitation is okay as long as it's vaguely about gaming.

On the other hand, nobody's making us read it.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

Boy, if you don't believe this old grognard, I've got proof.  Everybody finds it so damn hard to believe that Tracy the clean-cut Mormon would give cookies to a heavy, bearded Texan like me with a BO problem.  But like I said folks, sometimes guys get together and stuff happens. It don't make no one gay, let's be clear.  Tracy went home and barrelrolled Laura good. But you know, sometimes there's that special moment dudes share. And no one's got to know anything about it.
