**Gives toothpicks to Santo**. I think I’ve seen every movie eligible, except for the one George Lazenby Bond movie. ---

**I haven’t seen Pulp Fiction.** _ **Hand trembling uncontrollably, jabs Santo as she hands over her last damned toothpick.** _ ---

I watched about two minutes of one of the Star Wars while waiting for my girlfriend at the time to get out of the shower at the hotel we were staying out so we could have sex again. ---

Based on this game, I can conclude that \*\*Santo Rugger’s cave on Mars where he has no doubt been living to have not seen these movies \*\*is easily reached by women 🆒 ---

Not playing the game but interested in the rules for future reference. For a list of five movie series listed, do you have to have watched only one or do you have to have watched all movies in the series? Or one in each series? ---

I haven’t seen all of the movies listed, but still gave him his toothpicks. YMMV ---

For a list of five movie series listed, do you have to have watched only one or do you have to have watched all movies in the series? Or one in each series? In order to keep your toothpicks, you have to be able to (truthfully) repeat the given statement. **Santo** said that he’d never seen any of the listed movies. If you have seen even a single one of them, then you can’t claim you’ve seen none of them, so you have to give up your toothpicks. ---

If you have seen even a single one of them, then you can’t claim you’ve seen none of them, so you have to give up your toothpicks. Thanks. That claifies the rule. It does seem that there is a fine line that you wouldn’t want to cross where someone would just find a list of items (movies, books, etc.) and remove the ones they’ve never watched/read and get toothpicks from anyone who’d watched/read even one of the long list. ---

Which would then cross the general “don’t be a bastard”-rule that always applies 😉 ---

> [@WormTheRed](#): > > Which would then cross the general “don’t be a bastard”-rule that always applies 😉 Yeah, I’ve got plenty of “don’t be a bastard” questions lined up. Just how many of you were born at the EXACT same time I was? Cuz I was never born any other time… You bastardize me, and you get that in the 5th round. :mad: ---

I have my office holliday party starting in a couple of hours, so I am going to go ahead with mine. \*\*I have never experienced snow. \*\* Manmade snow does not count, so if you have been skiing but only on man made slopes (not something I have done, but I want to give some of you a chance) or something similar, you can keep your picks. Otherwise hand them over, I am quickly running out. ---

> [@WormTheRed](#): > > **WTF? Now I really envy all you people from southern places… I’ve had to scrape the windows of my car for a few weeks now ☹** My wife is from Michigan/Pennsilvania and misses snow like crazy. We keep trying to take trips to snowy places, but they keep falling through. Before I met her I never really had any interest, I was a beach kid growing up.
