Your Chance to Feel Superior

At least you don't play professional tiddlywinks.

If you do, and you're male, please, for God's sake, turn in your man card.

(via NRO's Corner, where Mr. Miller also points out that, yes, Virginia, there is a professional tiddlywinks association.)

Excuse me, I need to go and kill some Nazis in Call of Duty 2 to make up for reading the article.

Ah yes... There is nothing quite like firin' up the ol' Playstation and killing Nazis to pass the time... heh.

So satisfying...

I have not gotten around to buying COD2 yet. Maybe when Ace ponies up the dough for this guest blogger gig *cough* I will get it.

Untill then, I am going to be firing up Game Spy and playing some good old COD1

Phrases such as: "It's a good potting squidger," "If you're on this, you boondock" and "The blue's over the yellow -- I could consider double-booning" filled the air.

And I thought I WAS a geek!

Actually, the best line in the article is:

most historians think modern tiddlywinks was developed in 1955 by a group of Cambridge undergraduates. It is not known whether alcohol was involved.

Not known? It HAD to be involved! Come on. I can so totally see a bunch of drunken frat boys sitting around, all the house whores have already left and they are only a few drinks away from pledge on pledge action when one says, "I've got an idea! Let's play tiddlywinks!" The other brothers went along only because they thought he said "tittiewinks".

The rest is history.

Yes, Vagina, there is a professional tiddlywinks association

"Just the right mix of skill and intellect"?

In a pigs valise. You would spend your time better trying to teach dog crap to jump through a flaming hoop.

YOU'LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT WITH THOSE THINGS!

Ah, but what is really worse? Playing tiddlywinks for money, or paying money to watch people playing tiddlywinks?

What's next? Fantasy Tiddlywinks Leagues?

Posted by: Simon Oliver Lockwood on January 21, 2006 04:33 PM

Celebrity Tiddlywinks!

Happy New Year, everyone. (It's been a while).

A high-school teacher of mine was (briefly) national tiddlywinks champion.

Good to see you again, Knemon.

The gay threads have not been the same (read: really gay) without you.
