lprovenWorldcon is looming.
On Sunday evening, I am MCing (whatever that means; it won't be ceremonial and I plan to spin no decks) this:
[F/x: trembles in terror]
Now, I am intimately familiar with knurdling, having knurdled for my country before now. Mr Warman soundly thrashed me and, well, any other bipedal vertebrate, really. Since he has rather fewer organs than he used to, he might not be quite so good now, but I'm sure he can still comprehensively outknurdle even the new, lighter Liam.
Astral Pole I am familiar with, but as a cyborg with sadly non-removable bits, not terribly good at. Read, I can't do it. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flickgc can, as I recall, with certain added bonuses if she's wearing a skirt, stockings and suspenders at the time. I must see if I can inveigle her into demonstrating. [sings] Oh, Fli-iick...)
But what on earth are "hum & sway" and "dollybirds"? Does anyone know? I have no idea whatsoever.
What's even more scary is Ang's discovery. Put "dollybirds pub game" into Google and check out the 5th entry. I mean, what? WHY?
While I cannot deny that pubs and dollybirds are two of my main interests in life and possibly defining characteristics, I am utterly astounded and taken aback by this intelligence. I also don't play games, normally. Not board, not computer, not card and certainly not roleplaying. It's on account of me being useless at them all, you see. Quite like Fluxx, though. Blame Flick for that also.
Explanations of the new psychic search facility of Google welcome.
