Use the scissors to cut the gag.

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

I wasn't sure whether we made our cases either in the game thread or via PM, either way I'll follow up by posting it here...

It's basically me saying graffiti writing on the walls of buildings can be way more artistic than the CAD comic is. More of a personal opinion honestly.

If you watched any WWF back in the early 1980's Sgt Slaughter was a guy who acted as an army boot camp instructor guy who waved around the American Flag a lot. Anyway his "nemesis" or arch-rival was another wrestler called the Iron Sheik and they had a rivalry going on for a few years which also mirrored the current events (at that time) with the tension of the Iranian hostage situation.

I disagree with this one, reflexes just aren't good enough to stop you from gagging a lot of the time. I mean look at former president Bush, he has amazing shoe-dodging reflexes yet he choked on a pretzel.

Well that's what the gag reflex is for....
Edit: Reflexes were to prevent having someone actually put a gag in your mouth, not actually gagging on something. I thought I explained that pretty well in the above post.

Final standing for Round 2:

Cati - 14 / (+/ for CAD=Crash)

Darthmauler64 - 15 Restored 1 point for Gag=Scissors.

Ex. 68471 - 9 (-5 failed negations; no post.)

Major Blood - 9 (-1, failed negations; I don't get answers for Aids and Tears. -5 repetition; Chivalry is too close to Gentleman.) Restored 1 point for Tears=Salt. Rejected Aids=Nothing because the whole point is to negate the word, not say that you can't.

Megaman FTW - 8 (-5, repetition of Heimlich. -1 for Tears - Happiness. Tears of joy!)

Moogle0119 - 14 // (-1 for CAD=Graffiti. +// for Gag=Reflex and Slaughter=Sheik.) Restored two points for Gag=Reflex and Slaughter=Sheik. CAD=Graffiti is rejected because the existence of graffiti does not really negate CAD, even if it is better. Also, I'm not old enough to have watched those wrestling matches! They happened before I was born.

Preturbed � 15 // (+/ for CAD=Gentleman) Restored 1 point for Tears=Jesus, though, I must say, you used quite a powerful, or, I suppose it would be better to say versatile, word for a pretty mundane concept.

Word set:

Handkerchief
Xerophthalmia
Gentleman
Immunity
Cyanide
Police
Resurrection

Begin Round 3.

Preturbed · 03-06-2009, 06:31 PM
