Since my last “game” thread was such an unholy abortion, I decided to try and redeem myself…
I was watching a Simpsons rerun and caught this bit:
That got me thinking, I have some advice too:
If you’re a young, single woman, driving home alone at night, and “American Girl” by Tom Petty is on the radio, don’t sing along!
…got any good advice?
… you see there’s this movie called “The Silence of the Lambs” wherein this young woman gets abducted by a serial killer and right before she has her run in with the killer-- they call him Buffalo Bill-- there’s a scene of her driving her car and singing along with, “American Girl” by Tom Petty. (In the book she’s smoking pot) So, my advice is somewhat
facetious because singing along with the song doesn’t cause her to abducted…
So, someone else might post something like, if you are thirteen and get invited to a school for witchcraft and wizardry, watch out for people wearing turbans…
Or maybe games are bad form?
Something along the lines of “If you and your friends are being stalked by a killer, don’t have sex. If the killer is just stalking you, don’t have sex with someone you’ve just met. They will be the killer.”
Issat whatcha lookin’ fer?
My father gave me one memorable piece of advice for my life. He said** “always face the toilet when you pull up your pants.”** While I haven’t gotten rich following his words of wisdom I have kept my wallet dry.
…or, maybe, if your in a cult and your leader moves you to South America, don’t drink the kool-aid. (They made a movie about Jim Jones, right?)
Ok, I blame myself entirely. (FWIW, I did get up at 4am after about three hours of sleep and about half my crew didn’t show up and the other half are trying to go home early and I have no hope of getting half of this work done and everyone is blaming me and… maybe I should be in the pit this AM!)
Anyway, the idea is to give some advice to someone in a movie. I know, what a lame idea. (See defense above.)
So, to be obscure, I might say,

If you’re in a bunker with Hitler and your Mom tries to give a little drink before bed, Just Say No!
