[OT] If I read the term "crunchy bits" one more time...

[Tom Cashel]

Ugh. Too gross.

"Crunchy or Creamy"...sounds like a hippie with gonorrhea.

Future Crunchy Bits

In a hundred years, when future generations are sifting through the digital remnants of this thread, they will look to the sky and ask, "Crunchy Bits?"

 

[Scribe Ineti]

I'm tired of the term too, but I know well enough that we gamers cling to worn out terms and phrases and run them into the ground and start digging once we hit bedrock.

It also bugs me that phrases and moments from assorted media find their way into games and seem to reside there permanently. For instance, I've been gaming for 15+ years, and have never been in a RPG session where at least one player didn't quote (often to excess) Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

And the latest gamer darling I've heard and read everywhere is the line from Fellowship of the Ring, "They come in pints?" I mean really, folks, some originality would be nice!

Rant over.

when i first started cruising the old sight (early 2001), one of the earliest threads i remember was one entitled "people who quote monty python at the gaming table should be shot!". it was a lot of fun. anyone remember who started that one?

anyway, i agree. throw "crunchy bits" in with "orc and pie" and all other things that are amusing once, tiring the second time, and annoying all other times after. one exception to this is hatten ardin. that is just so bizarre that it will always be either disturbing or hilarious.

In deference to Conan O' Brian, let's just refer to it as 'krunky' (as in "Those krunky books cost em a lotta dollars!").

Oh well, carry on.

And these are the crunchy bits of an ant...
Oh, wait. That's "naughty bits."
Nevermind.

Ah, now that's something I can do. I thought I was one of the few to still retain memories of the word Krunk.

 

[jaerdaph]

Well, look at it this way.

At least people have finally moved on from the orc and that friggin' pie...

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Wow, i thought i was the only one, so i never said anything. I really do hate the term though, i'm not sure why, but it reallly bugs me.

I never did figure out the orc and pie thing, or lemon curry for that matter.
