Shamelessly stolen from Myrnalene. This is a list of the words I need, based on their part of speech. Please start from the top and supply ONE word per post. You can provide other words in subsequent posts if you want, but I want as many...

Give me a word for each number here and you shall soon discover the shocking story that will shake the foundations of everything you believe. (1) Name of Mellophant poster (2) place (3) adjective (4) body part (5) noun (6) noun (7) noun...

Your turn.

I'm Spartacus.

I've been certified for many years, but haven't been in the water in over 10 years. I've decided I'm going to dive this summer, and I wanted to get some advice about equipment. I've got a friend across the street who works for Northeastern...

(Despite the color, this is a logic puzzle. If anyone wants, I can state it more blandly.) After years of searching, you've finally found the fabled treasure : Rutherford's Lost Gold. Hidden away under a remote mountain peak in New Zealand, a...

Paul Newman It was suggested that my no-other-commentary Quik-E rule was painfully restrictive, so I will lose it. But for quick references purposes, I ask that posters place their choice in the upper left of their post, and skip a few lines...

Funny Farm I don't know if you guys have seen this yet but a friend sent me the link yesterday and I have been unable to stop since then. It's very simple: you start with a prompt, "On the Farm", and it's linked to several boxes where you enter...

Free Agent list looks thin. I would bring back Andy for 1 more year as you cannot have too much pitching and one year contracts do not hurt the Yankees. I would pursue a trade with Houston with our young spare parts for Super Two Arbitration...

Horror is such a subjective theme, but here are twenty tweets for you to identify. Each one is something that a major character from a horror story, either a book or film, might have sent out at some time. Assuming, of course, that they would have...

I love playing the feuds, enough to commit to running one here if there's any interest. Unless of course another SDMBohemian else has had a burning desire to do so longer than I've been posting here/there. Whaddya think?

Over the next few weeks the ICC are holding the Twenty20 World Cup, kicking off tonight with the England taking on the Netherlands at Lords. The current groups are Group A: India, Bangladesh, Ireland Group B: Pakistan, England, Netherlands...

If you can name the song, give yourself a point. If you can name the artist, give yourself another point. If you can voulez-vous coucher avec moi give yourself 10,000 points. If you win, you get one whole internets! Why R&B? Because I need an...

Every since I was a kid and in love with "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, I've wanted to write a story that branched off based on the reader's decisions. Text based adventure games were some of my favorite computer games growing up, because it was...

The New Domebo Feud, Round 2: Eyes On The Prize THE RULES 1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS 2. The object is to come up with the most popular answer. Points will be awarded based on how many people give the same answer...

My son gave me this brainteaser yesterday and I'm proud to say I solved it: There are three cards placed face-down in front of you - one jack and two aces. You don't know which cards are which. You must pick a card but you don't get to see the...

I'm doing a series of female nudes (back and front views) from the neck down and knees up (and thanks to those who contributed photos of yourselves in the nude--unfortunately, I'm not doing any male nudes just now--I got a lecture at a group show I...

Domebo Feud, Round 8: SEX! THE RULES 1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS 2. The object is to come up with the most popular answer. Points will be awarded based on how many people give the same answer as you. Using...

I'm going to be running the next trivia game which will be an all-music edition. It will cover pop/rock from the last 50 years, though, very American charts-centric because that's what I know about. :p It'll be five rounds, with the game play...

Anyone else following this? Is it going to be another Federer vs Nadal final or is someone else going to step up. The quarter finals are Federer v Davydenko Djokovic v Tsonga Roddick v Cilic Nadal v Murray

Through a series of events in chat, we have invented a new game: Baby Pitchfork Dumpster Toss. The game is played in the alley behind a kwik-e-mart. Teams: The offense which has lacrosse sticks to hurtle the babies into the dumpster, and...

The tournament will start on Thursday, March 5. Already (at least in Japan), there have been several practice exhibition matches between the national teams and between them and the Japan League teams, and all of these have seen very good attendance...

http://www.sporcle.com/games/pluralenglish.php I couldn't get 5 of these words. English is all I know. This is pitiful! How many can you get in 6 minutes? I missed index, matix, appendix, axis and vertex.

I just started playing Diablo again, but I don't understand the rules. I have a longbow with damage 3-6 +32% damage. My base damage (with no weapon active) is 3-3. With the bow equipped, it displays the damage as 6-9. Where does the +32% come...

Sock Chate will be occurring on Wednesday, August 25th at 9PM EST! I will be setting up a free chat room at http://www.chatzy.com/ for this purpose. I will ask the socks a series of Dating Game type questions for them to answer in character,...

http://www.fastgames.com/equanimity.html Here's my latest favourite. A balancing game with a touch of tetris/Columns. W00t

I like Tim Wakefield, I really do. The only full time knuckle ball pitcher left in the major leagues, he was one of the reasons the Red Sox beat my Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. He's had success as both a starter and a reliever, and I've never heard...

Which prize do you choose?

You can with Pandemic 2. Apparently, this game has been around for a while. I only found out about it last night and I've killed all of mankind twice. Once with Wigglyworm and another time with Teeny Testes. I have to admit, the only times I've...

Welcome to the National League East, where Men are Men, and Boys are the Incredibly Fortunate Winners of a Fluke World Championship. Continuing the discussion from the NL West thread, we move now to the NL Central. Let's review: LAST SEASON...

Here's how it works. You type a ^ and then say something about the poster above you. See my next post for an example.

Following on from Pearl Jam's The Fixer song When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it When somethings gone, I wanna fight to...

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends. This isn't terribly difficult, but it's fun: ...

Everyone has good days and everyone has bad days and some days always appear better than others. All you have to do is list the days of the week in your order of preference. For me, it's Saturday Friday Sunday, Monday

Raff-Dumbo Olympics: iSketch edition Welcome to the experimental Rabolympics! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED. What is isketch? iSketch is online pictionary, where you draw hilariously bad pictures and others make hilariously bad guesses. ...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/sport ... den&st=cse I, for one, will miss him greatly. A lot of people think he's an idiot, but I loved his voice and the goofiness about him. He and Al Michaels were a great pair. You'll be missed, John. ...

Legends of Zork! It's not too bad for a time waster. I recommend reading this topic in the forums, and the FAQ early though. Here's one of my characters: Zabigail. (Looks like you have to be logged into your account to look at character profiles...

...let's talk about Stephen Strasburg. :bb: Are you excited about him? Do you have doubts or reservations? What do you think? I mean, that was one hell of a debut for a pitcher. And I know that most "can't miss" pitching prospects who come...

In the Land of the Green Doors, the food is good but the meals are bad. Anyone else been there? Care to tell us something about the place?

Pretty amazing. I suppose the outtakes would show multiple contusions and/or compound fractures: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19zFlPah-o

Also known as Six Degrees of Wikipedia. How many clicks does it take you to get from Wikipedia article A to article B? Who can find the shortest route? For example: From Functional genomics to Adolf Hitler. Start: Functional Genomics 1....

Well, it's must win time for England in the 5th Test. Looks like we won't be playing Sidebottom or Harmison either and they will give Khan a run instead. Sidebottom was very poor in the last test and Harmison just looks liek he doesn't want to be...

Just back from a day at Wrigley. Don't pound them like I used to, but I did okay. Todays totals: 4 Coronas 2 Goose Island Honker's Ales 2 Pints BBK

it's been 15 years since an innocuous grey box was released in Japan which has become one of the world's biggest brands. It has become part of everyday life and was a very large part of making console gaming a mainstream experience. It sold more...

Ah, I have left this way too late. I am looking for 4 players with a couple of hours to spare. This will be like Battleship, with players posting or PMing once every 5 minutes or so. The game should be quick, and so would probably take an hour,...

Muttiah Muralitharan has decided to retire from Test Cricket after Galle Test against India, although he may continue to play in the ODIs after that. He is the leading wicket taker in both Test Cricket and ODIs, and I would not put it past him to...

Since we've been having trouble getting enough people on IRC to play a game of Mafia or Assassins in the Palace on IRC at the same time, I've decided to try to organize it in advance. I'm thinking around 8:00 PM CDT tomorrow night, but that is...
