h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think the "biscuit" game probably began as a nasty urban myth, but some drunk boys I knew were bound and determined to give it a shot...... They *really* felt sick the next morning when they started to sober up.

Suffice it to say, I rather doubt the game is played with an regularity.

Phew!

To anyone watching this conversation who hasn't heard of the biscuit game.
Please don't ask!

I have to confess (no I haven't played the biscuit game) that I thought from the title that 7CW was a BG varient.

What a very very nasty game. I have to say I think some form of controlled victimisation is usually good in a drinking game but this is just sick.

Great entry however. I just hope for the good of society nobody decides to play the game as a result. One minor point: I wasn't clear for the description whether w**kers with few cards were supposed to "spit" (ie spit phelm) or to "spit their drink" at the corresponding w**kee. Since I don't ever ever ever intend to play this game, it hardly matters, but I thought I'd mention it.

Nice one but and again.

Ugi

phlegm of course...

I'll make it clearer some time shortly - glad you all 'like' it...

I'm sorry, I have to ask... The Biscuit Game?

GreyDesk asked: "I'm sorry, I have to ask... The Biscuit Game?"

Suffice it to say that a) women are not physiologically capable of playing and b) an actual description of the game would most likely be offensive enough to be in violation of the house rules.

Ok were heading in a certain direction, but I am still in the dark (and now rather nervous).

Whoever loses has to eat the biscuit

*getting more nervous*

prior to that a group session invovling the words shuffle and knuckle is the key...

I went and looked it up. I now rather wish I hadn't

Is this game popular with rugby players by any chance? As that would explain my (now sadly lost) ignorance.

I've personally never believed it but was somewhat disabused above.
I believe it's supposed to be popular in British Public Schools - but I've never met anyone who (admits at least) plays it.

I'll ask around at work next week. There are a mix of rugby playing ex-public school boys there, along with state school plebs like me. Perhaps we can nail the cultural origin of this game once and for all

Editorial Note: This conversation has been moved from 'Peer Review' to 'Seven Card W**kstain'.

Despite being very well written, this entry is gross! (It's Sam here, by the way. ) We might well have had an entry on snot before (or was it bogeys?) but we draw the line at encouraging people to spit copious amounts of phlegm at each other's faces! The 'game' is asinine, extremely unhealthy and it also contravenes one of our most sacred house rules which clearly states, 'No spitting!'

Nice try - it's still in the Guide - but unfortunately we've asked the Scout that picked this to pick another for inclusion in to the Edited Guide.

Sorry.

Hmm, hi Sam.

I'm not entirely clear where you get the idea that this game encourages people to spit phlegm at one another. The entry is quite clear that it's a game that researchers should avoid at all costs, and I would challenge you to find anything that counts as 'promotion'.

Besides, the 'no spitting' rule applies only to virtual spitting...

Well, I virtually coughed and spluttered all over this dreadful entry in an apoplectic fit, so surely that must render it unsuitable - at the very least unhygienic! Lucinda, I just don't see how the Edited Guide will suffer because of this entry's absence from it - it's still in the Guide and it's still searchable. It was reasonably well written and in 'form' it fulfilled Editied Guide criteria. Its 'content' however, we deemed to be tasteless, and, well, basically useless. As far as the Edited Guide is concerned, we have to maintain certain standards where possible, and as I said earlier, this entry is still in the Guide at large.

All the best to you.

Sam.

hey - how come I go from 'very well written' to 'reasonably well written' without changing a word!? I guess I'm still just amazed that Snuggle Bunnies are deemed to be in good taste...

Fair enough, I suppose. At least it'll give me an opportunity to try out the alternative writing workshop

No, you're right - I have to concede that it was very well written.

Good thing they tossed it out, else I wouldn't be able to add it to A767081 the AGG/GAG unedited games page! This will be under the heading "Card Games With Naughty Words In Their Titles," which is rapidly becoming the largest section.
