No son of mine

Man, having a good laugh about something on Boardgamegeek until someone brings up Fluxx and everyone starts bashing it... it's like when you're having a grand time at a family gathering until suddenly everyone else starts having a farting contest or joking about dirty Mexicans or something. Who are these people.

Fluxx is to BGG as Zardoz is to the Thon message board. "Fluxx, now, there's a game!" Except that I guess the metaphor only stretches so far, since the Thon people wouldn't say that Zardoz is the movie you watch to make your wife or girlfriend happy before moving on to a real movie. The idea makes me giggle, though.

I need to learn Photoshop.

I just introduced my Dad to Fluxx over the break; he was amused, after a few hands. This was after [livejournal.com profile] galaneia came home from game night all ready to buy a deck. (I handed her mine.)

I can see how people don't "get" it...and I feel sorry for those people...
