I'm assuming the words are chosen at random, but it sure feels like the guy (and I think it's just a guy) is purposely picking harder or 1-vowel words ever since everyone found out about it. The Es and Ss are a lot less common than a month ago.

The Puck Soup guys did a version of this game for NHL last names this week. Had no idea they were aping Wordle, as I hadn't played it yet.

as someone tweeted over the weekend, it's turned twitter into farmville-era facebook

Tried it yesterday and today, got them both in three tries.

How do you do the thing where you get your results graphic? Is it an export from the site?

I'm about ready for this fad to pass. It's half my fucking Twitter feed.

TIL how to mute words!

DiS's post was the first I heard of it. Then listening to Men in Blazers this morning, Rog made a Wordle reference I wouldn't have noticed.

I think it's the share button? Not positive but maybe it only works from the website.

Can y'all let me know who wins next time y'all play spades or dominos or monopoly?

I got beat to death in Clue over the holiday. Was certain I had it figured out. Missed all three things.

Wife won.

My six-year-old won the game of Life while we were in Santa Fe.

So, what’s a doctor or lawyer’s salary nowadays in that game? When I was a kid it was $20k and $15k.
(Maybe I should have posted this in the “Things that make you feel old” thread.)

We bought them the original one for Christmas so it was the same.

In a group chat on Instagram someone mentioned that "How I Met Your Father" is coming out on Hulu staring Hilary Duff.

2 hours later there's an ad in my feed. It's probably likely that they just mass advertised across everyone's feed, but the timing looks so suspicious.

2 hours? Took them awhile.

I haven't caught up on the threads yet today, just wanted to give a shoutout to rass. He's maybe the best poster here and that's saying a lot.

This all sort of reminded me of when sc*ttie hit a wall with his Fluer de Cana fueled postings. I remember feelings bad for enjoying it prior to that, if I (or we, the swamp) to any degree contributed to his problems.

Good thing AB and Giff annoy the shit out of me and I’ve never enjoyed their presence here and certainly never encouraged it.

Time to take a big sip of my breakfast margarita and catch up on the "What?? Are you drinking?" thread...

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 9:30 am

My breakfast drink of choice is always a manmosa (mimosa + vodka).

P.D.X. · Post by **P.D.X.** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:26 am

I thought a manmosa had beer in it

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:28 am

Not mine!

I question the use of that portmanteau

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Jan 13, 2022 11:42 am

Is the clunky manmosa used because himosa is too obvious? Because if not...

Solid bet SCK went with his typical response, "I got nothing for this one, how about you Andy?"

I'd be insulted... if I didn't agree with you.

Fucking Wordle. For some reason I assumed they wouldn't use a letter a twice. I wasted way too much time trying to figure out how it could be a word. I finally got frustrated and used a letter twice to end the game, and it was correct.

Yeah, that one yesterday pissed me off. I couldn't get it.

My GF got it in 3 tries.

Whiffed on yesterday's Wordle for similar reasons mentioned. Got today's on the 5th try.

A couple of days ago I was looking at the 'gram of one of my niece's. And I noticed her husband was drinking out of one of these:

Geez. He's a nice guy! (the niece's husband, not Ben Shapiro). Seems reasonably smart.

A dude in my Transition Assistance Program class a couple months back had one too. Kinda marshmellowy white guy walking stereotype dude. His post military plan is to become a teacher. Those poor kids.

Travel mug....Ben Shapiro branded, that says 'Liberal Tears'

If you could sound convincingly innocent, “Isn’t tears slang for cum?” would probably draw some fun reactions.
