In Praise of Cheetos

[Whisper72]

I agree with everything said in the original post but one question remains. What´s a "cheeto"..?.?

A Cheeto is a player who cheats. Players who cheat get smashed to tiny little bits by the RPG police, the remains then become edible snacks for the DM. Thus the word Cheeto became the name for a famous cheesy product. Prolly because most cheating players were kinda cheesy (tasting?) to begin with...

I was too young for that when I started, but now buiscuits and crisps (chips if you're american) with one group, pizza, crisps and vegetables with the other. Occasionally beer at either.

Okay, how about this? Cheetos + blue food coloring = edible purple worm minis.

Have you actually tried this? Does it work?

I wanna try it out now!!!

When I started playing I was in college. We played either in a friend's dorm room, the lobby of the dorm, or my apartment. Snacks varied from vending machine food to leftovers in the fridge. If you timed it just right at the local convenience store, you could get all the leftover tater logs and fried chicken you could carry for a buck. Botulism? Bah!

Sometimes the food coloring melts the Cheeto, and the color tends to vary, but basically, yeah, it works - I used it for a nest of baby purple worms many, many years ago.

I am the inner dork, made physical. I beat the original psyche of the person that was here before senseless with the ADnD 1^st Edition Players Handbook back in 1991 and tromented him with repeats of Star Trek TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. He eventually cracked and then I took ever. Dorks rule.

I'm so in touch with my inner dork that I clicked myself into this thread believing that the title was "In Pirates of Cheetos" (yeah I misread it, it's 4:30 in the morning over here!)... and I did it expecting a really silly campaign idea. For, although I am Swedish just like Ravenknight, I have at least some vague notion of what Cheetos are.

He has a bad haircut and he listens to Weird Al.

My outer jock beat the living hell out of the part of my inner dork that listened to Wierd Al.
