Cards Against Rationality

I didn't even read the post before I started mentally filling in all of the blanks with "my penis" or just "penis" as appropriate.

I want to add some kind of context to that, to avoid seeming like I'm just puerile, but nothing really comes to mind besides the general "what is wrong with me?" kind of thing that's just signalling and not really helpful for anything.

"That which can be destroyed by being a motherfucking sorceror should be"

Brilliant!! x'D x'D

(This might make a good slogan for pure NUs …)

I have taken the liberty of implementing this card list on CardCast, a free implementation of Cards Against Humanity-like games for Google Chromecast which also has the advantage of being publicly browse-able to print card lists from or use card lists in other online implementations of the game like Pretend You're Xyzzy. Just thought you might want to know.

This should happen on physical cards. If they're handed out for free, it's within the CAH license, and it even shouldn't be hard to do it in such a way that it's immune to the license.

BTW, I'm a fan of having the actual fill-in-the-blanks somewhere in the deck - hooray groanworthy literalism!

Blarg. Your first three ideas for black cards were exactly the same as my first three ideas for new black cards, and in the same order even.

I'll add some of these to my set.

I'm not posting mine yet because I want them to be a surprise. :p

This is awesome. If you arranged for a deck to be printed I'd buy it. If not I may try and get them printed on my own.

Most of the fill in the gaps ones are throw away lines or phrases that happen to be seen on less wrong. They're incidental to less wrong. They're even more incidental to rationality. wtf yo? Also, Why would you be familiar enough with them for this to be fun?

If the game requires no familiarity with the phrases that last part doesn't apply but I'm still worried by the possibility you'd all have the actual exact words memorised. Do you?

I' love to get your guy's feedback. Which of these do you find humorous or think would work? Which ones are meh? I'm sorry if some of these are actually from the game. Sometimes I forget which ones I made up.

Cheers!
