    - that bastard! -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:53
- lol, WaPo headline: "Diamond and Silk came to Congress, and they all started screaming at each other about Facebook" -- nm - Max Apr 26, 12:50 2

    - Actually, this may be a first. Kim took tomorrow off for the movie. But I'll ask her if she can for Deadpool, too. - David Apr 26, 12:53 4
      - In return you have to take the day off to see Solo -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 12:54 3
        
        FAIR IS FAIR!!! -- nm - Doctor Spawn Apr 26, 12:57
        
        Why? Kim's the bigger Marvel fan between us. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:56 1
        
        I thought you only saw Star Wars for her and she's always right so there is that too -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 13:07
- Just got home from it. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 26, 12:41
- Saturday night. Late. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:40
- related: is it a short? -- nm - amanda Apr 26, 12:39 2
  - No, it’s 160 min.... oh. Yeah, maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:41
  - it's gonna make 500 gazillion dollars! -- nm - decline Apr 26, 12:40
- when it hit's netflix probably -- nm - decline Apr 26, 12:39
- noon -- nm - mud Apr 26, 12:39
- Saturday night -- nm - Hobbitman Apr 26, 12:39
- Not sure. maybe my birthday weekend? Still haven't seen RP1. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:38 2

- I was going to give them some slack because these games started coming out in the 80s but just checked and this one was 1996. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:41
- "Chief Breaking Wind" - Totally not offensive :) -- nm - Hobbitman Apr 26, 12:40 16
  - “Cowpai” is arguably more offensive. The whole thing is a certain brand of frat boy hilarity. Like Secret Hitler, but based on a series of dares. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:43
  - [deleted] 14
    - It is an interesting microcosm. The whole game is very tongue in cheek and laced with stereotypes and over the top characters - Hobbitman Apr 26, 12:45 12
      - [deleted]
      - Then you probably shouldn’t be playing the game in the first place, instead of taking exception to one specific character. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:47 10
        
        I'd guess it went down "Hey, we're going to do a murder mystery party" and then that comes out - Hobbitman Apr 26, 12:48 8
        
        Possibly. I meant my point more generally. A game like this requires a certain amount of buy-in from its participants in order to work. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:52 5
        
        Most people don't have the acting skills to play anything less than stereotypes. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:56 4
        
        Well I never! -- nm - Offended Lady In Dress Apr 26, 13:01 2
        
        Now you made me think of The Office episode where they play a game like this -- nm - Hobbitman Apr 26, 13:02 1
        
        Well I never! -- nm - Beryllium in a dress Apr 26, 13:10
        
        So, one might as well indulge it within the confines of a game instead of inflicting it on the world at large. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 26, 13:00
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think the Chicago gangster one would work better -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:50
        
        [deleted]
    - I got the Spanish part before the English part. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:44
thanks everyone for an interesting and respectful conversation on what could be a sensitive topic. - groiny Apr 26, 12:34 2
- I actually have a lot to say about that, but not enough time. I do think we've become both - crash davis Apr 26, 12:36
- [deleted]
[deleted] 37
- I wouldn't suggest going around calling random people Cletus in the middle of Kentucky or WV - Reagen Apr 26, 12:36 4
  - "Do you have any moonshine for sale?" -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:42
  - "Are you a Hatfield or a McCoy?" -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:37 1
    - see now that one's pretty funny. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 12:38
  - "I've seen Justified I know Kentucky" -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:37
- laugh at how stupid he looks? Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:36 25
  - [deleted] 24
    - I would say it's not that we're less sensitive (since there's a bunch of whiteys out there who carrying some big ass grudges) - Reagen Apr 26, 12:42 2
      - I would say that in some ways, we’re more sensitive simply due to not having that type of BS slung at us daily. When something lands, it stings. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 12:46
      - [deleted]
    - offended, no, just wondering why white people = Hillbilly toothless hick? - groiny Apr 26, 12:40 19
      - Because we've seen videos of trump rallies -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 15:38
      - Exactly. Why [any group] = [any stereotype]? - zork Apr 26, 12:44
      - [deleted] 16
        
        honestly, it all depends on the person. - groiny Apr 26, 12:43 15
        
        in large part because we get to identities beyond "whiteness" - Reagen Apr 26, 12:49 1

        "I cudda bin a pro ____ athlete but my knee ..." -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:48 11
        
        that ship sailed long before my knee went. - groiny Apr 26, 12:49 10
        
        I meant that there are tens/hundreds of thousands of guys who were "this close" to being pros -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:54 3
        
        gotcha. -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:55 2
        
        I would have just put in baseball if it were a dig on you. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 12:56 1
        
        don't fret, I am not taking offense to it. - groiny Apr 26, 12:59
        
        they'd have gotten you some kickass roids today. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 12:50 5
        
        I talk about this with my sports friends quite a bit actually - groiny Apr 26, 12:52 4
        
        If we'd lived somewhere a little more central I feel like you'd have known who my brother is. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 13:03 3
        
        ??? -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 13:07 2
        
        not "you" specifically, just that if we hadn't been in the middle of absolute nowhere, he'd have gotten the chance to Be Known. - Reagen Apr 26, 13:09 1
        
        my story is a bit different, and has much more to do with politics and who you know than location, and also non-athletically inclined parents. - groiny Apr 26, 13:13
    - Some would, yes. - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:39
- Don’t forget the MAGA hat -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:36
- if I paypal you 20 bucks, will you send me pics? -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 12:35 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - Yeah, that makes a huge difference, being done in the context of a game. More role playing than costume party. - znufrii Apr 26, 12:44
  - you'll get pics of something all right... -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:36
- ...ask where the keg is. -- nm - Max Apr 26, 12:35
Walkout Songs for tonight: Josh Allen - Bon Jovi (Wanted DOA), Sam Darnold - Metallica (Enter Sandman) -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:34 4

- Lamar Jackson - Future (No Basic), Josh Rosen - Flume featuring T-Shirt (On Top) -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:34
Odds that Cleveland drafts Johnny Manziel #1 from an old draft card set at 10-1 -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:32 3
- They could not have predicted that bum the owner talked to, though. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Apr 26, 12:33
- Odds they wait too long and the Giants jump their pick set at 5-1 -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:33 1
  - Odds they pull a Costner in Draft Day set at 1,000,000 to 1 -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 12:34
*I* care. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Apr 26, 12:32
