STOP! (the 9/11 coverup version) - A fun and educational game for the whole 9/11 Truth family -

Maybe I'm showing my age here, but before Scattergories came along, we used to play essentially the same game under the name of STOP!

The game consisted of first coming up with 5 or so categories, like car models, famous dogs, types of cheese, etc. The game began with someone calling out "A!" and then proceeding through the alphabet in their head (silently) until someone said "STOP!" at which point the alphabet person would say what letter they had been stopped at, at which point everyone set to work filling in the categories with words starting with that letter. Anyone could at any point yell "STOP!" and silently count to ten before calling out STOP to indicate the end of the round.

Scoring was 0 for no answer, 5 for an answer that someone else also had, and 10 for a unique answer. Then another round would commence.

SO, how's about we update the game for our own truthing purposes? Any number of categories could exist, but I propose the following to start:

S - Shills: those who assist in the cover-up
T - Truthers: anyone recognizable to the rest as a truther
O - Objects: inanimate objects related to the 9/11 crimes - molten steel, pulverized concrete, passport, etc.
P - Patsies: anyone we are supposed to think was involved but either weren't or played a minor role
S - Suspects: people who have some splainin'to do

Yes, I realize that spells STOPS, as in 9/11 TRUTH STOPS WAR, but really the categories can be anything, and can be invented every time one plays. Also, there will no doubt be arguments over people's answers--some will maybe think that a Patsy named by someone is actually a Suspect. That is good, since a quick discussion and vote will have to take place, with any ties going to the person whose answer is in question, who cannot vote.

So let's suppose the letter was the ever popular "P"

Shill: Popular Mechanics (shills need not be people only)
Truther: Paul Craig Roberts (first or last name OK)
Object: Pentagon (objects can be big or small, simple or complex)
Patsy: Powell, Colin
Suspect: Philip Zelikow

STOP!

Score, tally, and repeat with a different letter! Having some references at hand to resolve disputes (WHO the hell is Peter Piper?? WHAT Plastic bag? etc.) might be helpful.

We could even do it online.. anyone ever play Acrophobia online? That's another fun one with a ton of truth potential. Basically random letters are selected in groups of 3 to 7 and you must form an acronym from them... like if the letters are ASDFG, an answer might be "Apparently Silverstein Doesn't Feel Good" Users then vote on each others' to see who has the best. Bonus points for those answering first, IF they get at least one vote. Very addictive in its day!

i don't know

but it's still serving as my tiled wallpaper. dreamy, isn't he?

Like, for sure!

He's my screensaver. <3<3<3

gretavo: Your rt at this site email address doesn't seem to be working :(

gretavo's picture

i was bored last night

as incredible as it is, there were no friday night truther orgies going on.

argh on the email address not working--it should. but cass, don't you have my other address?

as for my dreamy avatar vs. the nightmarish one, I dunno. I think I'm suffering from Toth-envy and trying to see if I can't hijack some of his mojo by being more mysterious. It's never quite worked for me--there's something about me that insists on me coming across as white bread no matter what I do. I'm cursed with the whitiness I guess. Tanning is no use either--as soon as people see me naked they say come on now, off with those tightie-whities too. What? Oh..... Damn yous white!

Tahooey's picture

then you oughta tan nude

now that would make an interesting avatar!

Man topping Toth will be tough, Father Sarducci kicks serious ass. The "Last Breakfast"?

Your site and Winterpatriot's are among the several I read most days - I was happily surprised to see he linked to that article from here http://winterpatriot.blogspot.com/2007/08/one-good-thing-leads-to-another.html

But man, Winter sure is prolific these days, I find I barely have enough time to read what he writes, let alone what he recommends. Thanks to him I am this close to canceling my TV service.

i'll have to check out winterpatriot...

thanks. and the nude tanning thing is intriguing, but I wonder if self-tanning lotion wouldn't be better? Would it clash with the natural tan? Finding a place to lay out in the sun where any old spy satellite can't take a picture of your bare ass has to be tough... damn google earth!!

speaking of Tiger-Beat

I was organizing old graphics last night and came across this--fans of my Charlie Horse film will no doubt recognize Russell Hardwick--one of my aliases that sadly never found a place in truthing. Russell is modelled (no pun intended) after a chick that chatted me up on some social networking thingoid back in the day apparently in the same way she did with thousands of other guys, in order to lure them to her site where she sold posters and calendars, etc. of herself. Thing is she wasn't even that hot and its not clear she had any redeeming graces at all. The idea of being your own pimp intrigued me though, and Russell evolved from C-movie starlet to full blown self-promoter... It is sad to think what the world lost when 9/11 pulled me off into the less productive endeavors of truthing... :)

LOL.

Too funny.

gretavo's picture

just to clarify

I never actually made and sold posters... it's just that one "promo" piece and it's satire. i just realized my comment could be read as actually having tried to seriously imitate what that lady was doing... :)

thanks

i had always wondered what the inspiration for the hardwick/horse battle was (other than whatever was in that hookah on the table, or was it a bong?). i think hardwick would've fared better in the adult video world. his name would've made him a legend.

gretavo's picture

quite right

Hardwick beat out Hellmold ath the time--both were surnames in a directory I was working on at my job. It's funny actually now that I look at your avatar. You can have the name Horace Hellmold if you like. The hookah is actually an Argyla, which is basically a small Palestinian hookah. A mixed Jewish/Palestinian (talk about conflicted!) college friend of mine brought it back for me on a visit she took to the roly-poly land. I think it was after an end of the year job I took cleaning dorm rooms provided me (among other booty like a pair of kick ass rollerblades) an unopened box of apple flavored tabacco. For those who have never used a hookah for its INTENDED purpose, I HIGHLY recommend it. Unlike smoking cigarettes, the smoke is deliciously fruity (or your choice of flavory) and amazingly not harsh--it actually is more like breathing cool fruity steam.... man, i'm getting an urge to change my avater again now... here we go...
