Survivor Rage
Warning Survivor Spoilers Below.
Every Thursday I get together with the boys and we game. However Thursdays is also the only time the show one of my favorite TV shows, which is Survivor. So I tape it every week and watch it during the weekend, being careful not to spoil the outcome of each show.
So I am sitting here, working and I get an instant message that reads…
:RiCHARd is GONE!
:voted offzors
:wooo
I replied with…
WTF?
I have not added up what was going on yet. Thoughts of Survivor had not even crossed my mind. Then a head pops up over the cube wall and proceeds to tell me that Richard was kicked off and they disbanded a tribe.
ARGH!
My only defense at the time was to reply with ( and I warn you if you don’t like spoilers don’t read this)
“Ok fine Kaiser Sose is Kevin Spacey, Bruce Willis is really a ghost in that ghost movie he did with that kid, and Samuel Jackson is the bad guy in unbreakable.”
It wasn’t pretty, and it took him a few seconds to realize what I had just done, but the damage was done, my deed was complete. I fought spoilers with spoilers, and we both lost.
I realize he didn’t have anyway of knowing that I taped the show and that I didn’t want to know the outcome… but I do KNOW that he knew I had not watched it. He games with us on Thursdays most of the time. He didn’t last night however, but he KNEW I did. Now I don’t know how all gaming groups work, and maybe some are like this, but we do not stop play for an hour to watch a reality TV show in the middle of a session.
Yes J.E. I know.. I know… I am a bastard ;) All I have to say is … GROOOONK!
