@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

The Obscure Inside Joke Game
« on: April 23, 2008, 04:24:01 pm »
Oh, how self-indulgent I am! 

Here's a little game I thought up just now, while rejecting the idea of posting in another thread a joke that most people wouldn't get because it happened so long ago.  Let's take turns posting an obscure reference or inside joke from the board (or from Achewood in general).  First person to explain it gets to post the next one.  This is also a good place for more recent additions to our TOUAMB-family to figure out what the heck we mean when we talk. 

I'll start with an easy one: giraffe placenta.

What, no link?  Aww, cort, don't give up your right to be the verb for displays of archival prowess. 

I'd link the thread, but I don't want to answer my own question.

I'll bring the nested links.

Now what about Gina?

I think Gina made her first appearance while I was on hiatus.  I don't remember it happening, at all.

That's because human memories are not strong enough to escape Gina's gravitational pull (or, the gravitational pull of her... gina? suction?)

What I like about this thread is it's about education.

Acap: I was thirsty one day and I sat down. A year later, Jack's was built around me and thirst is a recurring thing.

Smells refers to a particularly fun Tommy Trapezoid avatar, I believe.

No, it all started with a fairly forgetable Achewood strip, which lead to the then n00b misterqueue being hilarious, and me posting about teaching sex-ed and my off hand mentioning the term "frotage" within the post, followed by Doc asking for an explanation of what that is.  In my books it is one of the best threads we've ever had, and it includes the induction of the then n00b, misterqueue, into the fold, an extensive discussion of dry humping (Woodberry Hello-o!), the hatred for shitty crafts, etc.  It is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the most wonderful threads we've cooked up here at TOUAMB.  I am nostalgic for those days.
