I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow, that page is cutely defensive over their name. Go team Sambo!

Having the port shaves about 45 minutes off my ER visit, so I am quite a fan. Even if it does randomly choose to hurt.

Our wings are not tired

I used to play strip trivial pursuit in college as well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I only played Trivial Pursuit once in college. There was no stripping.

But I knew the answer to "What's the highest navigable lake in the world." My friends were all, "How did you know that?" I replied, "How could you forget about Lake Titicaca?"

(OK, this post was mostly so I could say "Titicaca".)

This is cool. Except it needs to be a very dark grey. And it should work.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Two Lies And A Truth is what we played in college, and it was SO MUCH FUN. Mostly, it was an excuse to hone our lying - I mean - storytelling skills. The more outlandish-yet-believable the stories, the better you were as a player.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Despite all the other stories you may have heard - this is really how SAMBO'S got its name.
'The Story of Little Black Sambo' by Helen Bannerman was an afterthought.

If by "afterthought" you mean that the walls, the tables, and the menus were all decorated with a little black boy and tigers running around in circles! Oy. But I assume the original no longer sports those images.

The one we went to was in Laguna Beach near Leisure World.

The only Trivial Pursuit game we had for the first year of university was mine, which meant it was British, so I won all the time. They were pretty patient about actually playing with me, though.

However, they soon honed their skill of 80s British trivia, and could beat random comers out of the water.

Because books.

I don't think I've ever played strip anything. I probably have to hand in my Buffista card now.
