[Would anyone like to play a Fauci?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-anyone-like-to-play-a-feud/1001316) It’s a board game popular with Covid cranks. The object is to make it all the way around the board without landing your game piece on Fauci’s photo and having your head explode. ---

Would anyone like to play a Freud? I’ll lie down on the couch. You ask me about my childhood, then interpret it in the most bizarre way imaginable. ---

Ah, thanks. I misinterpreted the title of this thread. ---

[High School Reunion Dating](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/high-school-reunion-dating/1001634/1) I enjoy candlelight cocktail receptions and long, romantic homecoming games. ---

[Are you a pedophile? Then you’ll enjoy Facebook’s advertising engine!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-a-pedophile-then-youll-enjoy-facebooks-advertising-engine/1001584) My brain is hearing this in the voice of a TV spokesperson. Don Pardo, or perhaps Ron Popeil. ---

[Spent my afternoon humaning](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spent-my-afternoon-humaning/1000125) Yeah, I just posted this same thread in “misread thread titles”. But after I figured out what the title _actually_ said I misinterpreted it, too. I took “humaning” to mean something kind of like “adulting”, as in “doing human things”. But after reading the thread I see that the poster meant something like fishing, but for humans. ---

Up until this point, I had assumed it meant “acting like a human” too, but then again I didn’t hover over or click the thread. ---

[Did you choose the career of a parent, sibling, or close relative?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-you-choose-the-career-of-a-parent-sibling-or-close-relative/1001691) No, they chose their careers themselves. ---

I actually posted in that thread and only JUST NOW did I understand the title. Thank you! Makes sense that most people didn’t direct their parents to choose any career, except maybe “Get a job so you can buy me baby food, ya deadbeats!” But some parents might have chosen their kids’ careers for them, or at least attempted to. ---

[Helicopter carrying Iranian President and Foreign Minister has crashed](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/helicopter-carrying-iranian-president-and-foreign-minister-has-crashed/1001772) It’s understandable if he crashed, since his hands were quite full carrying the helicopter. ---

(Poll)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/experienced-bbqers-who-use-wood-based-fuel-not-gas-what-is-your-fuel-of-choice-poll/1000965) For a moment I thought they were addressing Dopers who regularly hang out in the Pit and asking for the best way to (figuratively) flame idiots and trolls. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > I thought they were addressing Dopers who regularly hang out in the Pit and asking for the best way to (figuratively) flame idiots and trolls. Low and slow (though not as low as the troll goes). A tough troll should be BBQ’ed for as many hours, or even days, as it takes to smoke them out. ---

ABC News website headline: [Sheriff: Cops responding to shooting not drinking](https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/sheriff-denies-officers-responding-maine-mass-shooting-drinking-110674076) Yeah, we don’t care if you knock back a few, but the fun ends when everybody opens fire. ---

[The single greatest line in My Favorite Year is](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-single-greatest-line-in-my-favorite-year-is/1002260/5) It took me a while to realize “My Favorite Year” is presumably a movie. I initially took the title to mean the poster’s favorite line out of everything released during their literal favorite year. And I was left wondering which year was their favorite, since they didn’t say in the OP. ---
