This is, of course, a game thread - as per the sticky, I have looked at the first page of MPSIMS to check for other active game threads, and seeing none, have elected to proceed. I hope many will be entertained. If not, if the mods think this is a drag, I’ll bear no ill will if it’s shut down, of course.
I saw this thread today - [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=277886](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=277886) - and the last answer was at the time by Mangetout. Very appropriate, I thought. Inspired, I have decided to make a little game.
I make up a question that clearly has a best-poster-to-answer (based on usernames), the next person gives that poster’s username, and makes their own question for another.
Frex, “Which of the Tokyo-destroying mega-monsters would be most likely to give a truthful opinion about something?”
The poster most appropriate to answer that would be me, of course.
Proceeding :
“Where can I find movies about carnival folk who bite the heads off of chickens?”

Great game idea; I’m totally stumped (although I get the feeling the answer is _just_ beyond my reach.)

This one’s got me stumped, for the moment, but I think I’ll add a second question. (since I’ve had a few opportunities to do so.)
“Do you go to Purgatory for impersonating a moderator?”

Well, if you need a _hint_ – the **swampbear** reference is about the actual poster, not the user-name.
