Talk like a...

[lynxreign]

Everyone knows about Talk Like a Pirate Day.
While reading garrity's lj, I was struck by the lack of a Talk Like A Beatnik Day. We need a day like this.
I mean, without this day, we'll loose important cultural heritage, man! Like a whole way of speaking would circle the drain. Freedom, man, freedom itself would be forgotten if we're forgetting our roots of fighting the man, man. I mean wow. Like the Universe would sigh and rain its woe on the heads of future generations. Where would the Scoo-dop-a-wah come from to inspire the kids? What would happen to all the bongoes? Bongo Heaven, man, Bongo Heaven. And no more snapping to applaud the cool? That way lies the 80s, man, and its conformist, soul crushing bone-itis. How're the cats gonna swing free? Like how'll they know Howl? You gotta sing man and by sing I mean groove. By groove I mean swing loose. Loose like the lions on the waves, man! Swimming their freedom 'cause they're not gonna let the man tell 'em where to stand!
What was I talking about again?
Oh yeah, The Man, man! He can't make you work when you need to jive, so tell him where to put it and find yourself a coffee house, like a real one. It's gotta be real or its all, like fake, man, fake.

I was hesitant to make the claim for that very reason... but it all stems from the idea that ninjas taste better to dinosaurs because they are cleaner but I suppose that the rules could be customized to fit ones own philosophies re: pinjas/ninrates

No! It must be standardized or using it as a decision making tool is LOST!

agreed. I watched my brother and his friends do rock paper scissors at one point recently and there were nukes and volcanoes and tsunami and no clear definition of what beat what. It was chaos incarnate.

How old are they?
I'd have to say Volcano beats nuke, tsunami beats volcano and nuke beats tsunami.

they're 11... and very silly. Their game is not circular like standard "RPS and new forms can spawn without warning (ie: you throw nukes, I throw asteroids... next you throw asteroids I throw superman) It might even be about who can best explain why theirs wins!

See, I'd go with the explanation thing, 'cause then you're working off consensus.
