The "I've Never" Game (Game in Progress)

[Hockey Monkey]

"I've Never" is a fun party game that you can play at home with your friends that I've adapted for message board play. If you try this at home, be prepared to learn a whole lot about your friends. I will start you all off with a statement "I've never ___________." Anyone playing who HAS __________ before must give me a toothpick. Then the next person gives their "I've never _________." statement and anyone who has ever _________ will give that person a toothpick and so on and so forth until one person holds all the toothpicks. Technically that person is the winner, but winning isn't the point of the game. It's about having a hilarious time getting to know all your friend's dirty little secrets.

Try to make your statements something you have not done, but that you believe a lot of the other players HAVE done. Typically the statements start of fairly innocuous, but quickly devolve into sex acts. Let's try to keep the thread as safe for work as possible or at the very least hold those statements until at least round 2. I will be a player, and we will give statements in the same order as the signups. If you are responding to a statement, just jump in at any time. When we have another 19, I'll post the full player list and the opening statement. Each player will start with an allocation of 50 toothpicks.

If you have done the thing that the statement giver has not done post the following:

I give player name a toothpick. Then feel free to elaborate if you want. Sharing is fun. Yes, please use green and bold so I can see it.

If you have not done the thing that the statement giver has not done, post the following:

I keep my toothpick. Please use the purple too.

I'll keep up with how many toothpicks each player gets and the totals for everyone. I want this to go pretty quickly. Game play will be every day and each statement will be given no more than 48 hours to be answered. This means that if you sign up, be prepared to check the thread each day for a new statement. If at the end of 48 hours any players remaining in the game have not responded, their toothpick for that statement will be forfeit. We will play until one person holds all the toothpicks, or not more than 10 rounds (one round being all the active players making a statement), whichever comes first.

[Hockey Monkey]

Sweet! There's actually interest! I am entirely open to a shorter game too. If we start with less toothpicks, say 25 or 30 it will be shorter, but I wanted everyone to be able to give at least one "I've never..." Of course if everyone checks in regularly, it will go faster too ;)

[Cerowyn]

Whoa... the games of "I never" my friends and I play would never, ever be suitable for the SDMB. You guys are brave.

[Justin Credible]

If it gets out of hand, I'll ask one of our illustrious Moderators to put a NSFW tag in the title. Hopefully it will stay relatively clean. *gulp*

Without giving you any hints, I've already lost count of the things you've done that I doubt any other living thing could claim. :D

[peeker-style-explaination]It's a gag award given at the rugby banquet every year for the person who performed the most atrocious act that season. I've won it three years in a row, and I'm a lock to win it this year, too. Let's just hope my date this year is as cool when she finds out how deviant I am as last year's date was! Oddly enough, both stories have involved urine.[/pse]

This is different from the version I've played, where nobody gains points back, only loses them. That may be a good rule for a speed-game.

Round 1 - Hockey Monkey

I've never played Guitar Hero.

Everyone can chime in in no particular order. When everyone has responded with their appropriately color coded answers, I'll tally toothpicks, post results, and tell the next person to go. I've used size 5 font and bolded it.

[WormTheRed]

I give Hockey Monkey a toothpick

But only once - and damn did I suck :(

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

I give Hockey Monkey a toothpick.

I played just yesterday in fact, and on this past Saturday I popped a friend's GH cherry.

[MsWhatsit]

I keep my toothpick.

Bleh, I feel like the Grapist.

I am not hip to the kids these days and their fancy "game systems."

[Sofis]

I've watched it played, but I've never played it myself.

[Darth Sensitive]

I give up my toothpick

I own GHII, and it's amazingly awesome. Though I'll say Rock Band is better.

[NAF1138]

Here's your toothpick HM

It's a good game, you should give it a shot.

[Hockey Monkey]

I want to play it sometime, but I've never had the chance. I really don't want to make a fool of myself trying it out at Walmart.

[Darth Sensitive]

Oh, it's totally worth a WalMart fool making.

[Revenant Threshold]

Have a toothpick!

And i'm terrible at it.

[tdn]

I keep my toothpick.

Why would I play it? I am my own guitar hero!

[Silver Tyger]

I keep my toothpick

I hardly play video games. The only one I own is one of the DDRs and I haven't played that in over a year.

[Santo Rugger]

One step closer to losing. I'm pretty good on easy.I played just yesterday in fact, and on this past Saturday I popped a friend's GH cherry.Bahh, teh interwebs! I just read this, not thirty seconds before I saw your post. Freaky.

[Inner Stickler]

I give Hockey Monkey a toothpick.

[Justin Credible]

I give Hockey Monkey a toothpick.

I've only played once as well. And, yes, I sucked.

[Hockey Monkey]

Only 8 people to check in before the next round!

[Justin Credible]

I'll alert a mod to get rid of the (signups) in the thread title and replace it with (game in progress).

[WhyNot]

Round 1 - Hockey Monkey

I've never played Guitar Hero.

I keep my toothpick.

[Jragon]

I give Hockey Monkey a toothpick.
I suppose I could be a douche and say I never played Guitar Hero, only Guitar Hero II and up, but I think that's stretching the bounds of pedantry a little. :p

[This'll Do]

I keep my toothpick.

[peekercpa]

Any room left?

[NAF1138]

Any room left?

Have you ever played Guitar Hero?

[The Comfy Chair]

Damn, I saw this too late. Maybe I'll just imaginary-play then. I always was better at playing with myself....



Wait...

:D

[Hockey Monkey]

Any room left?

If this game goes well, then there will be another and we can save room for you!

[tdn]

We're nearing completion of the first question, and I'm up next. Being that I'll be away from my computer for the next couple of hours, I'll submit my question now.

I've never been to California.

[Santo Rugger]

I have been to California. Here you go, tdn.

[MsWhatsit]

I've been to California a couple of times.

I give a toothpick to tdn.

[NAF1138]

So...I suppose living here doesn't count as not having "gone to California" does it?

Have a toothpick tdn

[MsWhatsit]

Hey, for those of us keeping track at home, how many toothpicks are we supposed to have started with?

[Silver Tyger]

*glances at location*

Gives a toothpick

[Sofis]

I have never Californicated myself.

[This'll Do]

I give tdn a toothpick.

[WormTheRed]

California Love, is not for me :(

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

I give a toothpick to tdn

[Agonist]

This looks like it's going to be fun! Save me a place for the next game.

(playing along score: 1 toothpick. kept one, lost one)

[Agonist]

Hey, for those of us keeping track at home, how many toothpicks are we supposed to have started with?

I think it's 21. The same number as number of players.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

Each player will start with an allocation of 50 toothpicks.

Though I do notice that the rules do not stipulate how extra brown-nosing toothpicks are distributed...

[Hockey Monkey]

Though I do notice that the rules do not stipulate how extra brown-nosing toothpicks are distributed...

ewwwww, a brown nosing toothpick! Who would want one of those???

Everybody started with 50.


The following players also need to answer the first round statement.
erleichda
RoOsh
AllWalker
fisha
Agent Foxtrot

I'm going to go ahead and start scoring tdn's statement, but let's get these two finished before we start another one. :)


Hockey Monkey keeps her toothpick as she has not yet been to Californ-I-A.

[WhyNot]

WhyNot hesitantly hands over a toothpick...

I guess the LAX airport is in California...

[Hockey Monkey]

Current toothpick tally:

This is a Google Doc that's viewable as a web page.

[Darth Sensitive]

I give away a toothpick!

I love me some San Francisco!

[fisha]

I keep my toothpick.

[Hockey Monkey]

fisha, to which statement are you responding? Guitar hero, California, or both?

[fisha]

Guitar hero I keep my toothpick.

California, I give my toothpick.

In fact, I am going to San Diego next week, yay me!

[AllWalker]

Guitar Hero I keep my toothpick.

California I keep my toothpick.

[Jragon]

I give a toothpick to tdn

[Inner Stickler]

I give a toothpick to tdn.

[Justin Credible]

I keep my toothpick.
Never been to CA, but would love to go someday.

[erleichda]

Guitar Hero, I keep my toothpick.
California, I give up my toothpick.

[erleichda]

Sorry, forgot I was third.
I have never been skiiing.

[fisha]

I give up my toothpick for skiing.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

I give erleichda my toothpick.

It was only for one weekend at Mt. Shasta when I was in college, though. :( Does that count as only half a toothpick?

[Inner Stickler]

I give a toothpick to erleichda.

[NAF1138]

Finally I get to keep a toothpick

About freakin time.

[This'll Do]

Skiing: I keep my toothpick.

Not much opportunity for that in The Sunshine State.

[Jragon]

By the power of Grayskull, I keep my toothpick!

[AllWalker]

Skiing - I keep my toothpick.

I haven't done anything, it seems. Oh well.

*cradles toothpicks to his chest*

Ow!

[Justin Credible]

Skiing: I keep my toothpick.


Yet another thing that I've never done that I'd like to do.

[Silver Tyger]

I keep my toothpick

[Santo Rugger]

I've been snowboarding... once. Does that count?

[Revenant Threshold]

No toothpicks for California - i've been to Florida but that's it

And no toothpicks for skiiing. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't end well.

[WormTheRed]

I give erleichda a toothpick

Skiing is fun! It's not fun to loose control and crash into a tree though :( But that's never happened to me, no siree.

[ToeJam]

Gah, didn't see this had started up so quickly!


No Toothpicky for whoever did the Guitar Hero. I'm a guitar voyeur when it comes to that game. :D

Toothpick for going to California though.


And No toothpick for skiing. I'll keep that 'un.

[MsWhatsit]

Skiing: I keep my toothpick -- and my intact leg bones. Seriously, with my sense of grace, I should not be allowed within 100 yards of a ski slope.

[Sofis]

Have a toothpick, erleichda.

I give erleichda a toothpick

Skiing is fun! It's not fun to loose control and crash into a tree though :( But that's never happened to me, no siree.

This one almost seems like it was directed at us Nordic types, doesn't it? On the other hand, the California one is the sort of thing I'd come up with if I wanted to mess with the Americans :).

[WhyNot]

Funny how you want to hold on to your toothpicks, isn't it? The habits of acquisition war with the pleasure of having a well-rounded life!

Anyhow, again, I grudgingly give a toothpick to erleichda. Seriously, I wasn't expecting so many border line cases. One weekend, one bunny hill, one sprained knee, and it counts as "skiing"? I guess so. :D

[Sofis]

By the way, Hockey Monkey? Do you have any plans for decreasing the number of toothpicks as the game goes on? Because this will never finish if there's a constant 1050 toothpicks floating around.

[WormTheRed]

This one almost seems like it was directed at us Nordic types, doesn't it? On the other hand, the California one is the sort of thing I'd come up with if I wanted to mess with the Americans :).

We'll get those yanks with some nefarious questions of our own ;)

[Sofis]

We'll get those yanks with some nefarious questions of our own ;)

I'm not sure it's such a good idea to start a direct conflict. We're kind of outnumbered :).

[tdn]

I am Master of the Bunny Slope.

[WormTheRed]

I'm not sure it's such a good idea to start a direct conflict. We're kind of outnumbered :).

True. Crap. Then it's plan B: cuddly, pleasant non-threatening questions to make nice with them instead :D

And while I'm at it. I've always played this game with booze (you take a drink if you've done it), and had never heard of the toothstick version until now.

[Santo Rugger]

Sorry, forgot I was third.
I have never been skiiing.Does snowboarding count? On one hand, it's not skiing. On the other, you go up the ski lift, wear almost identical gear, strap some wood to your feet, go down the hill, and then get hammered at the ski lodge.

[Hockey Monkey]

By the way, Hockey Monkey? Do you have any plans for decreasing the number of toothpicks as the game goes on? Because this will never finish if there's a constant 1050 toothpicks floating around.

When we start over I'll increase the number of toothpicks that one will have to relenquish. I'm catching up the scoring for the overnight posts now.



I keep my toothpick for skiing. I want to try it sometime though.

[Hockey Monkey]

Does snowboarding count? On one hand, it's not skiing. On the other, you go up the ski lift, wear almost identical gear, strap some wood to your feet, go down the hill, and then get hammered at the ski lodge.



I don't think it counts as skiing unless you have, yanno, put on skis to go down the hill. Snowboarding is not the same as skiing although the overall experience is similar.

[Hockey Monkey]

Agent Foxtrot is the only player that hasn't checked in at all yet.

We are almost done with statement 3...only a couple of people to check in for that one. I need to have no more than a couple of statements in play to be able to keep up with scoring, so please don't post it prematurely. It's been OK so far, but when one person has a few to answer, it makes it difficult to keep the toothpick count correct.

Justin Credible, you may proceed with your statement.

[Hockey Monkey]

True. Crap. Then it's plan B: cuddly, pleasant non-threatening questions to make nice with them instead :D

And while I'm at it. I've always played this game with booze (you take a drink if you've done it), and had never heard of the toothstick version until now.

You can still drink if you want to. :D

[WhyNot]

When we start over I'll increase the number of toothpicks that one will have to relenquish. I'm catching up the scoring for the overnight posts now.
We could just decrease our holdings by 30 - we've all still got more than that, if you take them off all of us, no one's unfairly targeted at this point, and no one's knocked out of the game as a result.

[Hockey Monkey]

That works.

*And the heavens opened up and your goddess Hockey Monkey smote you all and removed from your grasp a holding of 30 toothpicks*

Carry on!

[NAF1138]

True. Crap. Then it's plan B: cuddly, pleasant non-threatening questions to make nice with them instead :D

And while I'm at it. I've always played this game with booze (you take a drink if you've done it), and had never heard of the toothstick version until now.

I've never heard of the toothpick version before either. I like the drinking version because even if you lose you win!

Also, when there is collecting involved I start to want to win. And winning "I Never" usually doesn't say good things about you.;)

[Santo Rugger]

Begrudgingly holds on to my skiing toothpick.I've never heard of the toothpick version before either. I like the drinking version because even if you lose you win!

Also, when there is collecting involved I start to want to win. And winning "I Never" usually doesn't say good things about you.;)I'm aiming to lose... different strokes, and all...

That works.

*And the heavens opened up and your goddess Hockey Monkey smote you all and removed from your grasp a holding of 30 toothpicks*

Carry on!It might be cooler to have Round 1 count as 1 toothpick, Round 2 count as 2, etc.

[Darth Sensitive]

I keep my toothpick for skiing

And a different way I've played it is as an icebreaker type thing - where there's one person in the middle "I've never _____". Then everyone who has runs to a different chair, last person standing goes next.

The booze way works pretty well as an icebreaker too :D

I can tell you you're really sweet and a great friend and why can't I meet someone like you to date and then throw up on your shoes, if you really want me to...

Let's wait until the third date for the throwing up, ok?

That post made my day :)

[Darth Sensitive]

The booze way works pretty well as an icebreaker too :D

Well yeah, but it doesn't work with high schoolers at official functions, who are the only people I've ever played that way with.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

It sure is quiet in here all of a sudden. Are y'all playing 'hide the toothpick'?

[Justin Credible]

Alright, time for my statement:

I have never been drunk.

[NAF1138]

Alright, time for my statement:

I have never been drunk.

:dubious:

I give you my toothpick while silently feeling sorry for you.

[fisha]

I give you my toothpick.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

I give yet another toothpick to Justin 'Teetotaler' Credible

[Sofis]

I have never been drunk.

Well, that's just incredible.

[WormTheRed]

Alright, time for my statement:

I have never been drunk.

Since I assume you mean drunk on fermented jak milk, I keep my toothpick :D


Ok, ok... you get my friggin toothpick

This isn't going very well :(

[This'll Do]

I give a toothpick to Justin Credible.

[Hockey Monkey]

I give my toothpick to Justin Credible. With a :dubious: at you for good measure. :p

[Silver Tyger]

I keep my toothpick

[WhyNot]

Bulllsh--!


Oops, sorry wrong game.

I give my toothpick to Justin Credible.

[AllWalker]

I give Justin Credible a toothpick.

Oh, do I ever part with that toothpick. It's gone like the buzz you get from cheap vodka.

[MsWhatsit]

Seriously?

Goodbye, toothpick. I hardly knew ye.

[erleichda]

Justin gets my toothpick as well.
And a little envy to go with it.

[tdn]

Accidently spill my entire box of toothpicks all over Justin Credible

[Santo Rugger]

I keep my toothpickYou too?! :o

Would anybody believe me if I tried to keep my toothpick?

[Revenant Threshold]

Have a toothpick! And i'll have a slice of lemon.

[Inner Stickler]

I keep my toothpick.

[Silver Tyger]

You too?! :o

Would anybody believe me if I tried to keep my toothpick?

I've been slightly buzzed once, but never drunk. I don't like the taste of alcohol and drink too slowly for mixed drinks to affect me.

[Santo Rugger]

I've been slightly buzzed once, but never drunk. I don't like the taste of alcohol and drink too slowly for mixed drinks to affect me.Yeah... um... me too! *looking around suspiciously*

[Darth Sensitive]

I too keep my toothpick

Unless the authorities count getting to the point of being warm and extra friendly but not more - then I'd give it away.

[NAF1138]

I too keep my toothpick

Unless the authorities count getting to the point of being warm and extra friendly but not more - then I'd give it away.

Warm and extra friendly I would say doesn't count. But that's HM's call. But here's an idea, drink tonight, puke until you burst at least one blood vessel in your eye and join the cool kids.

[Santo Rugger]

Warm and extra friendly I would say doesn't count. But that's HM's call. But here's an idea, drink tonight, puke until you burst at least one blood vessel in your eye and join the cool kids.That, and he wouldn't have to keep his toothpick.

[Jragon]

I too keep my toothpick

[MsWhatsit]

I'm going to be offline for a lot of today so I'm going to go ahead and give my statement now; hopefully that won't make things too confusing for Hockey Monkey.

I have never broken one of my bones.

[fisha]

Another toothpick, gone.

One of the broken bones goes with the drinking....

[WormTheRed]

No toothpick for MsWhatsit!

I've always been quite relaxed (make that drunk) when I've fallen the hardest, hence avoiding bone breaking experiences.

[WhyNot]

I'm going to be gone for a bit as well, so I'll get my answer in before I go: MsWhatsit gets no toothpick from me! I've pulled, strained, sprained and torn more ligaments and tendons than you'd believe, but never broken a bone.

I'll let everyone check in before I post the next this afternoon.

[Revenant Threshold]

No toothpick from me, either. This was going to be my first one, too. Grr.

[tdn]

I have never broken one of my bones.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! ouch

This morning my elevator was out due to movers. It sucks trying to descend four flights of stairs with two broken feet.

Damn movers.

[Inner Stickler]

I give MsWhatsit a toothpick.

Stupid 6th grade dodgeball game. That finger never did heal right.

[Santo Rugger]

Breaks toothpick before handing it to MsWhatsit

P.S. It will be a lot less confusing if we have to go a bit out of order if everybody includes the user name and action they're referring to in their post of giving or selfishness.

[Hockey Monkey]

I'm going to be offline for a lot of today so I'm going to go ahead and give my statement now; hopefully that won't make things too confusing for Hockey Monkey.

I get to keep my toothpick. Lot's of bruises, but no breaks...yet.

[FarmerChick]

HM, may I be put on the list for the next game? This looks like way too much fun!

[Hockey Monkey]

MsWhatsit, you were fine in starting...everyone had pretty much checked in.

Agent Foxtrot - If you don't check in soon I'm going to have to cut you.

WhyNot, you should be fine to go ahead and post your statement this afternoon.

RoOsh, you will be up next after WhyNot.

[Hockey Monkey]

HM, may I be put on the list for the next game? This looks like way too much fun!


I'm not keeping a list for another game yet, but if I run one again, I'll PM you and let you know.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

Yay! I finally get to keep a toothpick!

I seem to be much more prone to soft tissue damage. I've had the last knuckle of my right ring finger at almost a 90 degree angle, but it didn't technically break.

[FarmerChick]

Excellent, thank you very much, and great idea for a fun game!

[Hockey Monkey]

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pGFzeVMas_HfrHm8ALnGaWg&hl=en

Kindergarten. I insist I was pushed off that bunk bed.

(er, that is, the babysitter's girls and I used to jump off the top bunkbed onto a pile of blankets. There were no blankets that time.)

[NAF1138]

Keepin my broken bone toothpick

And I'm glad.

[Darth Sensitive]

I keep my broken bone toothpick

[Sofis]

I have never broken a bone, or at least, I don't think I have. I have had a few seemingly minor injuries that took a surprisingly long time to heal, including one that didn't heal quite right, which in hindsight may have invloved some bone damage. But I've never had a bone that was noticably off, or that required medical intervention.

[Jragon]

I have nevermaybe kinda broken a bone?

I was born with a broken collar bone, but have never torn any ligaments, broken any bones, or gotten anything more than cuts and bruises in my conscious (or post-birth) life, I'll leave it to the GM to decide if that counts.

[WhyNot]

Crap. I miscolored my MrsWhatsit toothpick; that shoulda been purple for keeps. Thanks for catching that, Hockey Monkey.

Okay, here we go...


I have never been to a professional sporting event.

[MsWhatsit]

We used to go to Cincinnati Reds games all the time when I was a kid.

Here's yer toothpick, WhyNot.

[Sofis]

Yay for a complete lack of interest in sports!

[NAF1138]

Carp. Who knew I was so interesting? Have a toothpick

[WormTheRed]

I've been to a few (proper) football games, some handball and even some athletics events.

So WhyNot, here's my toothpick. Spend it on some tickets ;)

[This'll Do]

MsWhatsit: I keep my toothpick. (Unless teeth count. I broke a tooth on a piece of bone once. If that counts, HM, just let me know.)

WhyNot: I keep my toothpick. Lots of NCAA games, but no pro events.

[tdn]

WhyNot gets a toothpick.

Damned Red Wings.

[erleichda]

WhyNot gets my toothpick.
Sheesh, one hockey game when I was 12!

[Justin Credible]

I have never broken one of my bones.

I give MsWhatsit a toothpick. I broke my arm when I was seven. Swinging on the jungle gym at home, I missed a bar and fell, putting my arms out in front of me as I did. My arm still clicks in the spot it broke anytime I move my wrist around.


I have never been to a professional sporting event.

I give WhyNot a toothpick. I went to a few Reds games when I was a kid, plus I've been to one NBA game.

ETA: Oh, and one hockey game. The Huntington Blizzard vs. ...somebody. They're in some pro league I think.

[Hockey Monkey]

I have nevermaybe kinda broken a bone?

I was born with a broken collar bone, but have never torn any ligaments, broken any bones, or gotten anything more than cuts and bruises in my conscious (or post-birth) life, I'll leave it to the GM to decide if that counts.

I'm gonna rule that you have never broken a bone. I don't think being born with one counts, as you didn't do it. :)

[Hockey Monkey]

As your resident Hockey Monkey and Hurricanes season ticket holder, I suppose I must give WhyNot a toothpick. You knew you'd at least get mine, didn't you? ;)

[WhyNot]

As your resident Hockey Monkey and Hurricanes season ticket holder, I suppose I must give WhyNot a toothpick. You knew you'd at least get mine, didn't you? ;)

I suspected...

:D

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

What happens if you're out of toothpicks before you even get to make your first play?

I give a toothpick to WhyNot. I have not yet attended an NFL game, nor a NHL, but I've been to a handful of MLB, one NBA and one WNBA.

[Santo Rugger]

I suspected...

:DOhh, oh, guess for me!

They sell beer at hockey games, football games, basketball games, baseball games... and I've even been to several professional rugby games, where they sell beer.

[Darth Sensitive]

Take it away!

1 Dallas Cowboys game, several Rangers games, a few Stars games, nothing for the Mavs or FC Dallas. [And one University of Oklahoma football game (that counts, doesn't it? :D)]

Need to rectify the FC Dallas thing.

[Silver Tyger]

I keep my toothpick

Being boring has advantages, I suppose. =^_^=

[WormTheRed]

What happens if you're out of toothpicks before you even get to make your first play?


There's 20-21 of us, you give 1 per question, and we started with 50, which the oh so mighty HockeyMonkey with her ultimate powers decided to drop by 30, leaving us with 20. So if you're not no. 21, I wouldn't worry too much ;)

[AllWalker]

Due to a nerdly lack of interest in anything involving physical contact (er, I mean, on the sports field... I still like... you know,) I have never broken a bone nor have I been to a professional sporting thingy.

[Santo Rugger]

I keep my toothpick

Being boring has advantages, I suppose. =^_^=Hey, Tyger, wanna go to a ball game with me and have a few beers? I can promise you won't break any bones there. :cool:

[Silver Tyger]

Hey, Tyger, wanna go to a ball game with me and have a few beers? I can promise you won't break any bones there. :cool:

Nope! =^_^=

[Hockey Monkey]

Ro0sh, if you would like, after you answer the 3 statements you are behind on, you may post your own. ;)

[ToeJam]

I have gotten drunk. Here's your Toothpicky. Damn.
I have never broken a Bone though. Keeps that 'un.
I've been to a sporting event. Not by my own free will though- I was 5, and it was a Pirates game. Wait. I did also go to a Minor Leagues Tides Game this year. Never mind, you get a toothpick.

[ToeJam]

I have never Paid the Doper Registration Fee* for these boards.

:D Fork 'em over, Charter Members!


Edited to clarify *Or whatever you call those annual fees- Not just the "first" one. But ANY of 'em.

[erleichda]

Here's your toothpick, Ro0sh!

[This'll Do]

I've paid twice so far. But you only get one toothpick.

[MsWhatsit]

I'm an incognito Charter Member. Have a toothpick, RoOsh.

[Justin Credible]

Gives Ro0sh a toothpick.

I paid when I signed up last year. I'm due to renew next month, but I don't know if I will pay again or just become a guest.

[Sofis]

I have never Paid the Doper Registration Fee* for these boards.

:D Fork 'em over, Charter Members!

I'm sorry, but I have to question this. Not only are you listed as a "Member" and have a location field visible on your posts, but you have also posted continually since May, which is well after your initial free 30 days in March to April (you registered in March) and well before posting became free in early September. Are you sure you didn't pay and then forget about it? You should be able to check in your User Control Panel under "Paid Subscriptions" (I think this (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/payments.php) is a direct link).

[AllWalker]

Assuming the question is still valid...

Once I was a lurker, now I am a guest

[Justin Credible]

I'm sorry, but I have to question this.

Maybe someone ponied up his fee for him.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

Rooshie old boy is a charity case, who's membership was paid by a consortium of the Mafia addicted.

And he gets my damn toothpick.

I am also a fallen Charter Member. Once a year I get rip-roaring drunk and send some mods a forlorn email wondering if there is any way I can recover my lost label.

I'm kidding...at least about the drinking part. ;)

[Sofis]

Rooshie old boy is a charity case, who's membership was paid by a consortium of the Mafia addicted.

He gets free membership and a bunch of toothpicks? Now that's just unfair :(.

[Hockey Monkey]

Here's another toothpick for you Ro0sh.

I'll update the counts when I get back to work tomorrow. For Round Two, we will relenquish 2 toothpicks, Round Three will be 3 toothpicks...and so forth. I just wanted everyone to be able to "I never" at least once or twice.

[fisha]

Roosh, here is my toothpick.

[Carmady]

Along the same lines.

I have never joined an internet forum using any of the following names: Hockey Monkey, tfn, erleichda, Justin Credible, MsWhatsit, ...

Feel free to use this one.

[Revenant Threshold]

Up the Arsenal! Uh, I mean, have a toothpick for sporting events.

And while my current subscription is due to Doper generosity, my one before it was not. So another toothpick to give out.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

I have to leave unexpectedly and may not be back online until tomorrow or the next day, so I'll go ahead and post mine now.

I've never personally used Miracle Whip in anything I've ever prepared to eat.

Not a sandwich. Not a casserole. Nada. I know how vile it tastes only because other people have prepared food on my behalf with it, but I pretty much cannot even bring myself to even touch the stuff.

[NAF1138]

Damn you Ro0sh.

Have a toothpick

[Sofis]

What is this substance you call "Miracle Whip", Earthling?

[AllWalker]

I had to wiki 'Miracle Whip' just to find out what it is.

And no, I haven't accidentally added it to anything. I think.

BTW Miracle Whip is a terrible name for a product. Seriously.

[erleichda]

Ugh. No Miracle Whip for me.


You know why they call it that, right?
'Cuz it's a miracle anybody eats the stuff!

[Justin Credible]

Gives miracle whip coated toothpick to Cookies. I'm sure I've had it at some point.

[NAF1138]

Thanks Cookies, I haven't ever tried Miracle Whip at all. The tales of it's vileness are enough for me.

I will keep this toothpick.

[Hockey Monkey]

Duke's is the only way to go! Got my first taste of the vileness that is Miracle Whip at a sleepover when I was a kid. Urgghh. Hurk. Blargh! I would dump someone for being a Miracle Whip user. Miracle Whip is Satan's jizz.

[Justin Credible]

Am I thinking of the right thing? Miracle Whip is mayonaise right? Or is it whipped cream?

[Hockey Monkey]

Am I thinking of the right thing? Miracle Whip is mayonaise right? Or is it whipped cream?

It's *shudder* sandwich spread. Definitely NOT mayonnaise.

[Justin Credible]

It's *shudder* sandwich spread. Definitely NOT mayonnaise.

Oh. I think I have Helmann's in the fridge now, but I'm sure I've eaten Miracle Whip at some point. All mayo pretty much tastes the same to me.

[Darth Sensitive]

I give away the paid up toothpick.
I also give away the miracle whip toothpick

I am trying to decide if i should fork up again, but I dunno, the ads aren't too bad. And Miracle Whip is good on sandwiches.

[ToeJam]

I've never personally used Miracle Whip in anything I've ever prepared to eat.


*Yes, I am a charity case for those who wonder. :D And it was only in retaliation for that "Never drunk" one. That was not cool.

That said, Thank Og you specified the "I've prepared to eat"- I personally never use Miracle Whip and no Toothpick for you. However as a CHILD, my father used to think that stuff was mayonnaise, and so every day going to school I may or may not have had a walking time bomb in my lunch when he made it instead of my mother. I hated it until I finally made sandwiches for myself.

[Inner Stickler]

I give Whynot a toothpick.

I give Roosh a toothpick.

I give ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies a toothpick.

[Jragon]

Keep, give, keep

Respectively.

[This'll Do]

Miracle Whip: I keep my toothpick.

I had some once at a party. The mayo had an odd sweet taste and I said I was afraid it might be spoiled. Not mayo and not spoiled, I was told; it's supposed to taste like that. Vile stuff.

[WormTheRed]

I've paid for this crack-like substance called the SDMB, so Ro0sh gets a toothpick.

But Miracle Whip? I dunno what that is, so that toothpick is MINE, all MINE!

And Sofis, I guess we dodged the bullet on that one ;)

[fisha]

Don't even think of taking my miracle whip.

[MsWhatsit]

I am throwing up a little bit just from thinking too much about Miracle Whip. Gggllllluurrrrrp.

[tdn]

I have never Paid the Doper Registration Fee* for these boards.

Untrue.

[tdn]

I've whipped a few miracles in my life.

[Hockey Monkey]

fisha, have you ever attended a professional sporting event? I can't find your answer to that one.

[Silver Tyger]

RoOsh gets a toothpick but Cookies doesn't.

[Sofis]

But Miracle Whip? I dunno what that is, so that toothpick is MINE, all MINE!

And Sofis, I guess we dodged the bullet on that one ;)

Yep. I would like to request more questions involving American brand name products :).

[Revenant Threshold]

Miracle Whip is not a thing here as far as i'm aware.

[WhyNot]

I'm stealing Silver Tyger Girl's coding 'cause I'm lazy. RoOsh gets a toothpick but Cookies doesn't.

I've had Miracle Whip, and actually find it kind of tasty, but I've never prepared anything with it myself. It's sure no mayonnaise, but neither is mustard mayonnaise, and I like that on sandwiches, too. As long as I don't think of Miracle Whip as mayonnaise, it's a perfectly acceptable option for sandwich lubrication.

[Santo Rugger]

Guess I'm handing out the toothpicks like they're candy. One for Roosh, and one for Cookies.

[Justin Credible]

Hey, guys, guess what I'm eating right now. Yep, Miracle Whip. Turns out I had some in the fridge after all. I made a turkey samich with it and I think it's pretty darn good.

[NAF1138]

Hey, guys, guess what I'm eating right now. Yep, Miracle Whip. Turns out I had some in the fridge after all. I made a turkey samich with it and I think it's pretty darn good.

That's disgusting.


So I'm told. Again, with the never having tried Miricle Whip.

;)

[Justin Credible]

Man, everyone must be out tonight. What's having a life like, anyway? I've always wondered.

[Hockey Monkey]

I just got home from a professional sporting event. :D

[Silver Tyger]

Man, everyone must be out tonight. What's having a life like, anyway? I've always wondered.

Don't ask me, I wouldn't know what a life was like if it smacked me in the face. =^.^=

[Santo Rugger]

Don't ask me, I wouldn't know what a life was like if it smacked me in the face. =^.^=Hey, I tried to help ya out. Too bad you don't want booze at a ball game... :p ;)

I just got home from a professional sporting event. :DMud wrestling? Pogo stick races? Doughnut making?

[fisha]

Hockey, I have been to many a game.

[Hockey Monkey]

All statements in play have been answered and the scoring is thus:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pGFzeVMas_HfrHm8ALnGaWg

Roosh is leading with 35 toothpicks, Justin and WhyNot have 30.

OK, Darth Sensitive, you are up! Silver Tyger Girl, you are after that.

[ToeJam]

Who is the one person who didn't give me a toothpick (besides myself that is)?

[Sofis]

Who is the one person who didn't give me a toothpick (besides myself that is)?

According to Hockey Monkey's lovely spreadsheet, it was AllWalker, who has so far lost a toothpick only to Justin Credible (that's the "never been drunk" one).

[NAF1138]

Just a heads up, I won't be around much this weekend, but I will catch up on anything I missed on Monday.

[Darth Sensitive]

I've never been to a drive in movie!

[MsWhatsit]

I've never been to a drive in movie!


Here's yer toothpick.

I went to a double feature of the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my life, The American Astronaut, and something else that was less bad but that the horribleness of The American Astronaut wiped from my memory. Every 5-6 minutes throughout the movie, like clockwork, another car would fire up its engine and head out. My God, so horrible.

[Sofis]

I've never even seen a drive in movie theater.

[erleichda]

I miss the drive in.

[Hockey Monkey]

Who is the one person who didn't give me a toothpick (besides myself that is)?

AllWalker

[Hockey Monkey]

There's a closed down theater near where I grew up, but it closed before I ever got to go.

[Inner Stickler]

I've never been to a drive-in movie either.

[Silver Tyger]

Nope

[Revenant Threshold]

Don't think i've even seen one either, though I hear they do have them here.

[Jragon]

Pokes DS with the toothpick that would have been given up, had the scenario been different, and then runs away giggling maniacally.

[fisha]

Gives DS a toothpick in the dark, and cops a quick feel.

You know, I almost feel bad that I am tied for last place in this game, but on the other hand, it's means that I've done a lot of things.

[Justin Credible]

Gives Darth Sensitive a toothpick

I used to go all the time when I was a kid. I think the last movies I saw at a drive-in were Terminator 2 and Rocky 5.

[WormTheRed]

I've never even seen a drive in movie theater.

What she said, no toothpick handed over..

I have seen football (the proper kind) on big screens in town squares though, but that's walk in :D

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

Here's another damn toothpick. :P

I saw The Matrix (for the second time) at a drive-in. I remember that the girl I was dating at the time and I had gotten Jamaican take-out food to eat while we watched. I had jerked chicken.

[This'll Do]

I give Darth Sensitive a toothpick.
