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

this is a very fun game to play (huurah)

Could you perhaps be more verbose? Your description is lacking in explanition.

you want Explanations now? whatever is the world coming to....
pack of cards. take four of a kind out for each player. discard rest of pack. each player starts with four cards and must obtain four of de same card by passing one card on to the next player and receiving one from the last. this action continues until someone has their four cards, whereupon, they must, with great stealth do something, ie pat nose, stand on chair and rip clothing off, run outside and pounce upon a chacha lemming. the last person to follow the lead of the winner-leader is the loser and must consume a certain amount of liquid whilst being pointed and laughed at until shame is clearly visible

What exactly has it got to do with skulls?

Or, for that matter, traction engines?

Drukenness can make people feel that way, or at least that's what i've heard.

traditionally one partakes in this game with a pack of thomas the tank engine memory cards, in which should be a series of trevor the traction engine cards, which are the most important cards of all. the skulls are of course, as always, optional, do what you will, it affects me none, unless of you start jabbing pencils in my eyes, but that would be outright bad-mannered and i am sure you're not like that at all

Not even the rubber end?

only if you were wearing protection....(that ear wax tends to be pretty toxic these days)

perhaps a corn blend is perferred?

It's very hard to jab anything anywhere over the net, so you're probably quite safe.
I suppose the technical term would be e-jabbing-a-pencil-into-someone's-eye.

*casts fear aside*
*decides to make list of all things much less threatening when an 'e' is placed in front*

Oh no, not another list?!?

you know you want it

I don't know anything anymore.

*passes the rice bowl*

that's right, you just lie down and let me do the knowin round here

ahh, to be restful and ignorant. lovely.

*snooze*
