Quote of the day

Over at the KSK comment board a few minutes ago a commenter named "farmacy" left the following comment:

"I had a friend shit himself on spring break due to a gravity bong and a long game of Kings with one sober person... (NEVER play a rules based game with a sober person, you will end up with someone shitting themself).

Is that a legendary drinking story?"

While reading this, I was reminded of the "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college" bit by Lewis Black, where he claims to have overheard a woman say that and his brain about exploded trying to figure out what context could possibly make that sentence make sense.

Within the above comment, the portion enclosed in parentheses struck me in a similar fashion.

"NEVER play a rules based game with a sober person, you will end up with someone shitting themself"

Some things I like about it:
- the intended audience is intoxicated
- "rules based game" is awesome. At this point I'm imagining a really drunk person playing some kind of game without rules and all I'm seeing is a group of barbarians in a field swinging various weaponry around in their arms while screaming and twirling around without any discernible direction, vomiting occasionally from the extreme drunkenness.
- has a comma instead of the word 'or'
- 'them' and 'self' don't go together to form an actual word, but whatever it does form sure is pleasing to me.
- the 'someone', as I understand it, shits himself or herself if the following conditions hold:
1) an individual (not necessarily the 'someone') is engaged in a game with rules. from Merriam-Webster:
a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other
'rules-based game' is like 'carbon-based organic matter'.
2) the other participant in the game in opposition to the individual is sober.

I am thankful for the farmacys of the world to, intentionally or not, say or write things to make my day.

Bon Weekend!
