I went here - [Straight Dope thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=717726&page=2). I defy anyone to work out from these posts what the hell the thread was originally about.

How to post the posts and make a game of it would be genius.

I’m just curious if you have seen [The Exciting Game With One Rule](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=717821) that was started last night after some PM discussion about [TEGWAR](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_games) which appeared in an old DeNiro movie.
