(I hope this doesn’t sound negative, I’m honestly just curious.)
When did <famous person> forum topics turn into the driving game? Did I miss a memo, or am I just insufficiently hip to know when the cool things are going to happen?
@llangley@xobzoo, I too am genuinely curious, in the opposite. I’ve found myself, through complete and total ignorance, in the “rando” category participating in the driving game version of the famous persons game. Can somebody give me a 30 second overview of how it used to be before it morphed into tootsie rolls and tattooed rap/country singers?
@llangley@PeacefulEasy@xobzoo Well, the Driving Game still exists, it’s just for music. The “random associations” thing started when someone posted a topic headed “Kelly Clarkson” but then nothing else. So we all got into providing silly content until that filled up, and then several subsequent threads have been started to carry on.
Giuseppe Garibaldi, the George Washington of Italy, who led the army that unified Italy. After that war, Garibaldi approached Abraham Lincoln with an offer to lead the Union Army in our Civil War, but Lincoln offered him a position only as a major general which Garibaldi refused.
@ybmuG So this was interesting - after you posted this I went into a deep rabbit hole reading up on Gary Oldman. Then tonight, The Late Show was completely devoted to Colbert interviewing Gary Oldman in London! It was a hilarious interview; if you haven’t seen it it’s worth checking it out.
@Kyeh@ybmuG Aftter all of the wackjobs that Oldman had portrayed brilliantly, I thought it was priceless when he was cast as Lieutenant Gordon in a Batman flick; literally the only sane, down-to-earth named character in the entire movie.

@yakkoTDI Toby didn’t like that (he’s nestled up beside me but he started to twitch when I played it!)

@heartny Excellent choice.

@troy Huh? (I guess we posted simultaneously - but I don’t get this connection?)
@Kyeh In response to the topic!
@troy Okay - I kind of figured it was that - it just didn’t connect to the image above it!

When did
<famous person>forum topics turn into the driving game? Did I miss a memo, or am I just insufficiently hip to know when the cool things are going to happen?@xobzoo it didn’t, really. Some rando (
) started a thread and it Just. Took.
Off.
@llangley @xobzoo Right. The Driving Game still exists but it’s got stricter rules; this one’s looser and sillier.
@Kyeh @xobzoo we should resurrect that…
@llangley @xobzoo
@Kyeh @llangley @xobzoo This is like the driving game on easy mode

Hopefully not too much of a jump…
@ybmuG … I don’t get it …
@Kyeh It’s Negan’s bat Lucille from The Walking Dead - link to BB King’s guitar Lucille
@ybmuG Ohhh - I never watched Walking Dead. Thanks, I’d never have guessed.

@heartny Or this one
@werehatrack I almost ordered this one a few times, but once I added shipping it was more than I wanted to spend on a banana.
