> [@SolGrundy](#): > > Parappa the Rapper. (Although my favorite is: “Kick! Punch! Chop! I got the funky flow! M.I.X. the flour into the bowl!”) Word P to the A to the R to the A Parappa’s the name I rap everyday! [SHJ] This game is the source of endless amusement and inside jokes around our house. Me or Mrs. Codename will quote a line and the other will respond with a badly rapped version of that line (as would typically be heard in one of our Parappa sessions) followed by a “U rappin’ GOOD” from the original quoter. We played this like 7 years ago and it still gets giggles from us and :rolleyes: and 😕 from our friends. So anyway, if you were wondering why I added all that extra stuff to my Parappa quote, that is why.[SHJ] > [@](#): > > Hello, my friend! Stay a while, and listen!
