The You Game!

[Greengoop]

Interesting, < definitely wants to know more!

< drops by to say hello

< just finished reading Treasure Island. < was expecting something like a fanciful series of set pieces for children, but was very pleasantly surprised by a beautifully written novel grounded in reality. The characters are multi dimensional, developing throughout the story, and their relationships are complex and interesting. The language is beautiful and the imagery vivid, < can see how it had such a profound impact on our modern view of golden age piracy. < highly recommends it.

Also < now can't stop thinking in pirate speak, into the bargain and ye can lay to that!

[Greengoop]

< wishes ^ a warm welcome back!

[Fifo]

< says hi!

[PluMGMK]

< says hi! < thinks Treasure Island was recommended to < as a kid but was wasn't able to get into it at the time

Hi all!

< says hi! < thinks Treasure Island was recommended to < as a kid but was wasn't able to get into it at the time

Better late than never! < must admit < actually listened to an audiobook narration rather than read the pages, as < doesn't have the mental fortitude to read a book longer than a couple hundred pages without conking out. The audiobook came out to 6 and a half hours, so if you have a couple evenings to kill < couldn't recommend anything higher. < is now listening to the same narrator read Sherlock Holmes, the Sign of Four.

< also read Treasure Island a decade ago or so and enjoyed it a lot.

[Greengoop]

< watched a production of it at school in year 7, but < doesn’t really remember much about it

[DaveRattlehead]

< also read Treasure Island! It's one of <'s favourite books and it was a big inspiration for writing.

< likes the christmas theme

[Fifo]

[Greengoop]

< is happy to see Christmas is back on the RPC!

< wonders if < is the first one to willingly undergo a shame rank

[Fifo]

< wonders if < is the first one to willingly undergo a shame rank

<’s also curious about the answer

[Hunchman801]

< wonders if < is the first one to willingly undergo a shame rank

< has a feeling you might not, but < can't think of anyone right now.

[PluMGMK]

[Fifo]

< knows incognito willingly wore the non-Christmas Tinky-Winky for years!

Haha, < still remembers that!

[Hunchman801]

< knows incognito willingly wore the non-Christmas Tinky-Winky for years!

This must be who < had in mind then!

[EdgyRabbid]

< learnt the other day that < has had problems with their motor skills so thats why < types weirdly sometimes..

[Greengoop]

This must be who < had in mind then!

< also remembers seeing someone beg for a toilet rank in the April fools 2009 topic, but that doesn’t really count

[PluMGMK]

< read this article about some research that's suggesting that microbial infection could be the driving force behind some types of dementia
