The Alphabet Thread

[Dyne]

Aw yeah. I don't think we've done this here before yet, but this is a thread dedicated to the fine art of alphabet posting. You simply need to post with the next letter in the alphabet in the first letter of your first word. You will need to post more than a few words - or else I'll end the game. Think of this as an all-purpose chat thread with a twist.

And... go!

[gekko]

But what if I just wanted to post the word boobs and not have to pad it with all this irrelevant nonsense simply to prevent you from ending the game?

[BreakABone]

Come on you would be above such things as just posting the words boobs.

[Dyne]

Don't fret. Boobs are definitely still a worthy topic of discussion.

Par example: Katherine Heigl's boobs. Nice. :cool:

[GameMaster]

Endless fantasies exist in my dreams where I drizzle hot fudge along the smooth, refined surfaces of Jennifer Connelly's luscious boobs and slowly lick it off with my tongue.

[Swan]

For those who aren't in the know Dyne, who might this delectable Katherine Heigl be?

[Dyne]

For those who aren't in the know Dyne, who might this delectable Katherine Heigl be?

Good god, you don't know her? The chick from Grey's Anatomy and Knocked Up?

http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.onmylist.com/list_item_images/29812/katherine-heigl-picture-6_list_view.jpg

She's pretty hot.

Gamemaster: ..Wow, that's the most het thing I've seen you post. Hahaha.

[thatmariolover]

Hoping not to sound a prude, but in future I will be setting some boundaries regarding posts of a sexual nature. Not that what you said was anything that any 12 year old isn't thinking already, but let's try to keep it clean.

Also, she was on the relatively under the radar Sci Fi show, Roswell.

[The Germanator]

I still haven't seen Knocked Up even though I've had it on my computer for a long time now.

[Happydude]

Jesus christ people! what's with all the boob talk? you all need to grow up...tsk tsk tsk.




teehee, boobs.

[Swan]

Kriminny!


How could I not know her!? I fail at life. She is quite attractive

[Bond]

Lately I've been going to the gym quite frequently, but I still haven't found an ab routine that I really like. Any suggestions?

[The Germanator]

Me too! As in, I've been going to the gym a ton lately...I've run 30 miles so far this week on the treadmill in 4 days (7.5 miles a day). I do a lot of crunches on one of the machines with 60 pound weights. I've lost 10 pounds in a month, so I think I'm doing pretty well! I'm still looking to lose about 30 more, so it won't be easy.

[Swan]

Now I am bad for this, I have not gone to the gym in a few weeks. My friend I usually go with, Bitches, has been busy with work so he has not been able to go. And when he can I have plans. So it sucks

[Happydude]

oh yeha, sure, blame it on your friend...what are you too scared to go to the gym alone?! pfft...come on wussy! you're a man, you can do thing on your own!

[GameMaster]

Physical fitness seems to be a recurring theme in this thread. As it so happens, I went to my local 24 Fitness today. I did 40 crunches.

[Bond]

Quite right happydude. I actually think I do a lot more work in the gym if I go by myself as opposed to going with friends.

Germy, have you also started eating differently in addition to working out?

[The Germanator]

Reducing my food/calorie intake has been an important part of my change for sure. I've cut out soda, switched to soy milk full time for my high protein/high fiber cereal, and I'm not eating as much red meat...Morningstar veggie products are a godsend, they are so damn good and way healthier than any meat.

[Dyne]

Stand-up job Germanator. I'm looking to lose some pudginess too. I'm going to be starting running again tomorrow. I can't believe I gained back most of the 60 pounds of weight I lost years ago, even if it's packed on in places that aren't visible. I tried last year, but I gained way too much muscle and lost only 10 pounds. Time to get rid of all the fat.

[Swan]

Try as I might, I just lack motivation by myself. I wil get into the habit of going by myself, i just need the motivation.


And someone to spot me for the bench so I don't kill myself much

[Zen]

U r not e

PS: best campaign ever.

[Dylflon]

VAGINAL TUBES!

That's all I have to say in response to thatmariolovers threat of a less sexualized forum.

I simply won't stand for it.

[GameMaster]

Wait a minute! Hold on!

Can't we, the refined Gentlemen of GameTavern, find some sort of middle-ground here? Look at us! Clucking at one another like uncivilized hens!

I propose a special X-Rated forum for only the most elite of members! In this said board, ANYTHING can be posted. Think of it as GameTavern's own rendition of 4chan, if you will. How will we screen who gets in and who doesn't, you ask? Why the same way every exclusive men's club filters their members; invitation only, kind Sir.

Of course, I only speak in jest. I could never entertain such thoughts for real.

Xylophones! We'll only let members in who are proficient with Xylophones!

Members of Gametavern, prepare yourself as the staff prepares this competition.

Yovani Galladro (SP for the Milwaukee Brewers) is most likely out for the reason with a torn knee ligament. :(

[Zen]

Zen wins! pwnt!! this was a race right? where's my prize?

[Swan]

And we are back where we started...

Now what?

[GameMaster]

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

Every time I incorrectly recited that tongue twister, my nanny would make me suck her toes. :( Thank God we only had her for 3 years.

Capital idea, but that idea was beaten to. It was at Gamingforce and it's called The Sewers. It ended up being more trouble than it was worth.

[BreakABone]

Damn fine job at those who had the last few letters.
Damn on me for having to be up at 6:30 to post this.

[-alpha-]

Euclid would surely agree if he was alive.

[Dyne]

Finally, last night, I discovered the wonders of a good I.P.A. at the Steamworks Brewery restaurant in downtown Vancouver. Holy shit, what a beer. It was probably the most delicious drink I've ever had. I have got to have more microbrews.

[The Germanator]

Good microbrews are what make the world go 'round. I'll probably go back to Total Wine (http://www.totalwine.com/) in DE sometime in the next month or so and pick up some beers from around the world. Total wine is a gigantic liquor paradise which carries 8,000 varieties of wine, 2,000 varieties of spirits, and over a 1,000 types of a beer. It's a drinker's heaven, but it's about 50 minutes away from me so you have to make one trip worth it's while.

[gekko]

How did I not know about that when I lived in CA? Damn! Oh, well. I got it pretty good up here in WA, new beer store opened last summer and stocks almost everything that they can ship out-of-state. Usually have some of the really rare stuff in stock all year too, like the DogFish Head 120 Minute IPA for those of you who like IPAs. I'm not a big fan.

I'll take stouts, stouts, and more stouts. Which reminds me, I need one for lunch.

[Dyne]

I've heard that's the best of the best as far as American IPA's go. I'll have to try it if I find it.

[gekko]

I've heard that's the best of the best as far as American IPA's go. I'll have to try it if I find it.

Just so you know, it's seasonal. The 60 and 90 minute are a little easier to find. The 120 is supposed to be really hard to find, and usually it comes and goes real quick once a year. Ironic, because I have never not seen it in stock since August. If they sell DFH brews, they should be able to reserve you some though.

Speaking of DFH, the World Wide Stout and Raisan D'Xtra pack quite a punch and are delicious! Had a Pike Stout for lunch today. Not too shabby. Should've stopped in at the pub last time I was in Seattle.

But nothing beats the fact that my local beer shop got a license to serve and has Ten FIDY on tap :D Makes shopping for beer so much more enjoyable :p

Kudos for being a Dogfish Head fan. I feel privileged that they are a Delaware brewery because it's fairly easy to find around here. I'm absolutely in love with their Punkin Ale...Best pumpkin beer I've ever had.

[BreakABone]

Like to keep this thread going. I was a fan. :p

[GameMaster]

Methinks it's unwise to awaken the dead...

[Renwood]

Nefarious needlework of a needled nasty nook.

[Dyne]

Oh noes! It's back!

[thatmariolover]

Phobias are hardly healthy, Dyne. Maybe you need to talk to somebody?

[BreakABone]

Quarters!

All it would cost to get some help in the olden days.

Now you pay out of the wazoo.

[Renwood]

Raging hard-ons: do you have one?

[BreakABone]

Sure.
Why do you ask?

[Dyne]

This just took a turn for the awkward.

Also, bonus round! Let's see if you can use your letter as many times as you can. Alliteration is promoted.

[BreakABone]

Unlikely unless you use Urbandictionary utterly useless list of unfamilar uniform words.

[Teuthida]

Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

[Dyne]

..Wow. Teuthida wins already.

[Renwood]

Xenogears makes V for Vendetta look like Malcolm X.

[BreakABone]

Yoinks Scooby Doo!

I think I will start using jinkies.

[Dyne]

Xenogears makes V for Vendetta look like Malcolm X.

Zealous-sounding. I don't know why.

[BreakABone]

Apples to bananas. We are back at the beginning once again.

[GameMaster]

Becoming bright is quite a befitting idea, wouldn't you agree?

[Aladuf]

Crazy thread, this is. I've not bothered to look in here until now.

[BreakABone]

Damnit. We can't make it die.

This thread will die another day.

[Aladuf]

Everyone knows that this thread can't die. Never I say!

[GameMaster]

Free your body from clothing when you post at GameTavern

[Dyne]

Gamemaster, what the hell.

You know when I was playing Dr. Mario tonight I actually yelled "POOP! POOP FROM A BUM!"

..I was angry. :(

[Aladuf]

Hell Dyne, I had a post and I posted it, now I had to edit it to fit the theme!

[Renwood]

http://i30.tinypic.com/21kmck3.jpg

[Aladuf]

Jim, god damnit. You're gonna start posting in pictures from now on aren't you?

[BreakABone]

Kind of cool
As long as he doesn't run it into the ground.

[Aladuf]

Leave it to Jim to turn something from being great to destroying it with repetitiveness.. oh wait, that's birdman that does that.

[BreakABone]

Maybe he didn't ruin it.
Maybe he just gave it a shot in the ass that ddn't help.

[Aladuf]

No way! remember that guy Renwood? He liked shots in the ass!

[Renwood]

Oh, three pictures isn't bad. And they were all relevant.

Surprisingly.

[Aladuf]

Pretty insane that you managed to keep them on topic. That's a bit out of the norm.

[Renwood]

Quite.

[Aladuf]

Really?! A 1 word reply? hmm...

[Renwood]

Suck my ass, nooka.

[Swan]

Tsk tsk children. Can't we play nice

[Renwood]

Up yours, Swanson.

I don't mean that.

[Swan]

Verdict: Lies.

Everything you say is a lie Jim


Everything

[Aladuf]

Whoa guys, Whoa... lets settle down before some shit really goes down.

[Dyne]

Xeransis - The act of drying up.

Our contextual x words are already drying up, hahaha.

[BreakABone]

You would think so but the game keeps on trucking.

[Aladuf]

ZOMG! who will restart the game with "A"?

[Dyne]

Aaaaaaaaaand that would be me. :cool:

I have to go play some Paper Mario now though at the request of BaBcakes.

[GameMaster]

BreakABone has a powerful influence over the minds of everyone here. Thank God I wear this Magneto helmet whenever I visit GT.

http://images.entertainmentearth.com/%5CAUTOIMAGES%5CUC885015.jpg

[BreakABone]

Can the helmet really protect you from my influence though?
Maybe I want you to wear the helmet!

[Dyne]

BreakABone has a powerful influence over the minds of everyone here. Thank God I wear this Magneto helmet whenever I visit GT.

http://images.entertainmentearth.com/%5CAUTOIMAGES%5CUC885015.jpg

Donning that, I would feel kind of silly. It looks funny on its own, even. Leave it for the comic world, imo.

[BreakABone]

Exactly.
Though the helmet is a bit more cool in the comics.

[Aladuf]

flunkie would wear that in our battles of OG Gametavern vs. New Breed Gametavern (they will happen).

[Dyne]

Great, battles? Hahaha.

[BreakABone]

How would this war be fought?
And we all know there could be only one outcome!

Bonus round,
see how far you can go with starting your sentence with the next letters so.. I then J and so forth in one post

[Dyne]

I'm the one that decides bonus rounds here. Just because you're moderator doesn't mean you can decide these things. :D

[BreakABone]

Kind of does really. Lo and behold you followed my bonus rule anyhow. My idea seemed to have work. Never doubt the Penguin. Or fact the wrath

[Dyne]

Poppycock. Quite the poppycock. Ridiculous that you'd think I'd be following those difficult parameters.

Speed on Blu-ray is calling now though. Time to go.

[Aladuf]

Unreal you two. Viciously attacking each other for all of us to see. Why don't you guys settle this in a game or something?

[GameMaster]

I jacked kerosene last month near Ohio. Perhaps quoting recent stock transactions underneath violent, white x-rays yielded zygotes?

Edit: Well, not only am I too late but I did it wrong >_<

[Dyne]

Actually, that's pretty impressive. Well done, Gamemaster. :cool:

[Aladuf]

Badass GM! That's really impressive!

[BreakABone]

Can't deny that was pretty good.

[Dyne]

Do do do.. what do we do now? What do we talk about? Hahaha.

[BreakABone]

Earl.
Really my favorite subject.
It just exumes excellence, extraordinary, extreme, elegance, that certain E-factor.

[GameMaster]

Fun Fact:

Earl is a popular English given name meaning "warrior" or "nobleman".

[Dyne]

Great. Better than mine. My name means "Lover of Horses." :(

[The Germanator]

Haha. Beastiality. Haha.

[Aladuf]

I can't laugh at beastiality jokes... or pedophelia. birdman is into both.


(he's really not, but he'll never bother to actually post to defend himself!)

[Dyne]

Just bumping this to show my preference for this over "Night Talk." :D

[Aladuf]

Kind of you to remind us of this awesome thread!

[BreakABone]

Lame. Aladuf stole my thunder.
Kind of different threads.
But it is good to see it again.

[Aladuf]

My god BaB! Can't you refresh the page before you made the post to prevent the same letter twice?! I started this post with "M" to allow you to correct your mistakes.

edit: you corrected them, good job! ;)

[BreakABone]

No idea what you are talking about.

[Dyne]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I'm excited!

[Aladuf]

Poor me, I fell into the same trap as BaB did! :(

[flunkie44]

Queers. I have to start this post off with a stupid letter.

[GameMaster]

Reactions to this thread are mixed. Some hate its revival, others like it.

[flunkie44]

Reactions to this thread are mixed. Some hate its revival, others like it.

Surprisingly, I quite like the idea behind this thread.

[uber_paddler]

This is a pretty cool thread, I couldn't imagine why anyone would dislike it.

[Vampyr]

This is a pretty cool thread, I couldn't imagine why anyone would dislike it.

Unless they were dyslexic.

[uber_paddler]

Very true, I should have realized that.

[BreakABone]

Well I for one have always been a fan of this thread.
And always happy for its revival. I think did it once or twice myself.

[uber_paddler]

Xenial would be the way I'd describe this thread, I think.

[BreakABone]

You may be on to something here.

[birdman]

Zoinks! This is an epic thread.

[Aladuf]

Ahh! Bird you are online, do you work today?

[birdman]

But of course Aladuf! I should be in at about 3 as Brad said I could be.

[uber_paddler]

Can you guys believe we're less than 24 hours from 2.4?

[flunkie44]

Does 2.40 come out at midnight?

[uber_paddler]

Everyone's hoping/suspecting it will, but no one knows for sure.

[flunkie44]

Forget not that no recent firmware has released at midnight. I'm expecting it in the daytime sometime. In other news, you're never going to believe what I bought last night.

[BreakABone]

Guessing would be pointless.
So just tell us.

[uber_paddler]

How about you just tell me now, I don't feel like guessing.

[Swan]

I see no point in guessing you best reveal yourself

[Angrist]

Just stop argueing and wait, ok?

[flunkie44]

Kept you waiting, huh? The game in question is that of Battlefield: Bad Company. I hate the game so much, but I can't help but think of how much fun it is. It should be here Friday of Sarurday.

[birdman]

Looks like a good buy then. Purchase justified.

[uber_paddler]

Meh, it seems pretty cool, but I don't know if it's worth picking up, for me anyway.

[Aladuf]

News Flash: 2.40 might be out in a couple of hours!! :D

Edit: Purely speculation

[uber_paddler]

O rly? That would be the tits!

[flunkie44]

Pwnage would ensue if it came out in a couple hours.

[Pylon_Trooper]

Battlefield Bad Company, eh Flunk?! Awesome. Can't wait to hear how it plays. Isn't the control a lot better with auto-aim turned off?

*wishes he had the hardware to play such a game*

[uber_paddler]

Really, Pylon, you know you're supposed to start your sentence off with a Q, right?

[birdman]

Silly Pylon, not playing the game right. Shame on you.

[Aladuf]

That's the second time that's happened to me. Stop posting so fast bird!

[uber_paddler]

Ultimately Pylon's the only one who can fix this.

[GameMaster]

Very, very fun reading responses!

[uber_paddler]

Well I'm glad you've enjoyed reading it.

[flunkie44]

XXX is the entertainment of Aladuf's choice.

[GameMaster]

Yikes! Aladuf sure has filthy taste in entertainment! What would he do if his parents saw him watching XXX?

[uber_paddler]

Zoinks! They'd probably go crazy on his ass. Or just watch it with him...

[flunkie44]

"Absolutely amazing" are the words that I would used to describe the 2.40 update.

[Angrist]

"Boring" are the words that I would use to descrive the hype about 2.40.

[bobcat]

Cryptonite is spelt with a "K".....isn't it?

[flunkie44]

Dang you, Angrist! I'm actually excited to send messages now! I just got done playing the Battlefield: Bad Company Demo for three hours and twelve minutes to unlock the Uzi for the full game, and over the course of that, I was able to send messages between spawns at ease. That's highly impossible on the 360.

Bad Company is bad ass.

[bobcat]

Exactly Flunkie, you got it!

[uber_paddler]

Finally being able to send in-game messages is liberating, but it's the trophy aspect that has me the most excited.

[BreakABone]

Giving this another push.
Come on.
Keep thread alive!
Keep thread alive!

[Dyne]

Hahaha, 10 pages, that's not bad.
