You mean whatcha call a waiter in one of them fancy french restaurants?
You mean what some folks call their preacher?
A triple simulpost! And it had to be here!
Assuming y’all aren’t off doing the same thing, I’ll give a shot at pulling
arsenic garcon and parson together by saying what was really intended was that crime where you steal stuff
No – the quality of larceny is not strained…
And to think… all this time, I thought it was the surname of the guy who drew those Far Side comics.
Help, please! My mind has hit a brick wall here. All I can think of with “strained” is baby food.
Mercy. It’s a quote from Merchant of Venice.
No Larson
Is the first name of the gay guy who used to help straight men get dressed!
Hope I’m doing this right…
Thanks for the help, but the jump from
larceny to mercy
seems a bit severe.
And the reuse of
Carson – after the Johnny reference a few posts back –
is something to be wary of, if things are to keep moving along.
But I’m all for leaving it there and maybe another spin on
__arson
will jump out at us.
Welcome to the game, coffinjumper, and thanks again for the help.
Thanks! Sorry about that. :smack: This is why I usually tend to avoid long threads, since I always miss something no matter how carefully I try to read.
Glad you’ve joined us, but it’s incumbent on me to state that
Carson
is the last name of Watergate conspirator-turned-prison ministry advocate Charles.
Not to rain on your parade, but
Colson
is that blister-like thing you get on your lip
That’s two simulposts in a row for me, so I’m pulling my guess.
I looked back at the Johnny – not Carson specifics above and find that my memory (and not what’s been posted) was why I thought there had been a repeat. There have been a couple before now anyway, and we’ve just kept on trucking. So don’t let that comment slow you down. It’s not like half the Doper population is playing anyway. Maybe a dozen have posted more than once.
I still want to know what to call this game so we can get another one started when this one dies down – or we get bored.
How does Cossack sound to y’all?
Heavens, no!
Cold sore is the name of one of them newfangled bands all those whippersnappers on my lawn are listening to these days.
Oh. I see your error. I believe you mean
Coldplay
but that’s the sort of game where everybody is some medieval critter or person with magical powers and stuff and they spend days or years developing these outlandish plots and situations
Gee! I’m really stooooopit, because I thought Role Play was that American existential psychologist dude.
I think you’re on the right track, but
Rollo May
is just a time when people usually don’t go to work because it’s some special occasion
[sulking]C’mon, “The quality of larceny is not strained” is freakin’ hysterical.[/sulking]
As to what it’s called – the only place I remember it from is an old Electric Company bit.
Thanks for getting my head out of the bricks.
I guess I must have missed that episode of Electric Company since I missed all of them.
