True. Crap. Then it’s plan B: cuddly, pleasant non-threatening questions to make nice with them instead 
And while I’m at it. I’ve always played this game with booze (you take a drink if you’ve done it), and had never heard of the toothstick version until now.
Does snowboarding count? On one hand, it’s not skiing. On the other, you go up the ski lift, wear almost identical gear, strap some wood to your feet, go down the hill, and then get hammered at the ski lodge.
When we start over I’ll increase the number of toothpicks that one will have to relenquish. I’m catching up the scoring for the overnight posts now.
I keep my toothpick for skiing. I want to try it sometime though.
I don’t think it counts as skiing unless you have, yanno, put on skis to go down the hill. Snowboarding is not the same as skiing although the overall experience is similar.
Agent Foxtrot is the only player that hasn’t checked in at all yet.
We are almost done with statement 3…only a couple of people to check in for that one. I need to have no more than a couple of statements in play to be able to keep up with scoring, so please don’t post it prematurely. It’s been OK so far, but when one person has a few to answer, it makes it difficult to keep the toothpick count correct.
Justin Credible, you may proceed with your statement.
You can still drink if you want to.
We could just decrease our holdings by 30 - we’ve all still got more than that, if you take them off all of us, no one’s unfairly targeted at this point, and no one’s knocked out of the game as a result.
That works.
And the heavens opened up and your goddess Hockey Monkey smote you all and removed from your grasp a holding of 30 toothpicks
Carry on!
I’ve never heard of the toothpick version before either. I like the drinking version because even if you lose you win!
Also, when there is collecting involved I start to want to win. And winning “I Never” usually doesn’t say good things about you.
Begrudgingly holds on to my skiing toothpick.
I’m aiming to lose… different strokes, and all…
It might be cooler to have Round 1 count as 1 toothpick, Round 2 count as 2, etc.

And a different way I’ve played it is as an icebreaker type thing - where there’s one person in the middle “I’ve never _____”. Then everyone who has runs to a different chair, last person standing goes next.
The booze way works pretty well as an icebreaker too
I can tell you you’re really sweet and a great friend and why can’t I meet someone like you to date and then throw up on your shoes, if you really want me to…
Let’s wait until the third date for the throwing up, ok?
That post made my day 
Well yeah, but it doesn’t work with high schoolers at official functions, who are the only people I’ve ever played that way with.
It sure is quiet in here all of a sudden. Are y’all playing ‘hide the toothpick’?
Alright, time for my statement:
I have never been drunk.
:dubious:
I give you my toothpick while silently feeling sorry for you.
I give you my toothpick.
I give yet another toothpick to Justin ‘Teetotaler’ Credible
