See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

TB, the version my family played (which I just remembered we called Pink Dink) was a rhyming riddle game. You'd come up with a simple two-word rhyme and try to get the others to guess it (or fail to guess it, depending on how competitive you were); you'd signal how many syllables it had by saying "I've got a Pink Dink/Pinky Dinky/Pinkety Dinkety."

Pink Dink: An obese feline = Fat Cat.

Pinky Dinky: A tankard for a mythical beast = Dragon Flagon.

Pinkety Dinkety: A very boring talking device = Monotone Telephone.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've got a Pinketedy Dinketedy: A leave of absence pillaging on the high seas.

Well done!

Drat! My piss-poor knowledge of Mediterranean geography is killing me on this one.

Oh, wait. I totally meant "city." Or, to make it easier: "capital."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Any straight man, maybe.

I tyoed that originally, but didn't want to be inundated with "STEREOTYPE! STEREOTYPE!"

Even with the clarification, you overestimate my knowledge base. My geography truly sucks. Never mind locating them, I probably couldn't name twenty countries without the assistance of the Animaniacs.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I can't get it, either. Instead I come up with a guess that isn't a true rhyme and leads me to the wrong area of the world: Hirsute Kirkutsk

Spidra, you've got the first word right. And the rhyme is only in the second syllable. Well, actually, the first syllable is close, but the wrong vowel sound.
