Playground Squares XI: And here we go again!

[billtodamax]

Zeb The Troll! Goblins and their kin!

[Zeb The Troll]

They are tasty in a light broth and make fantastic meatballs.

[banjo1985]

"Really?"

*takes notes in between rubbing the rope marks across his neck*

[Zeb The Troll]

Oh yes! They've got a subtle smokiness to them but none of the gaminess of traditional "free range" meats. And they're not nearly as stringy as you'd expect. *nods sagely*

[Bleak Ink]

*resting bare, clawed feet on the here-all-this-time coffee table, one ankle crossed over the other*

*tapping the rim of her teacup softly, rhythmically, with the pad of her finger*

*watching evenly from under the brim of her hat*

Zeb.

[TheCountAlucard]

(tips hat) Bleak Ink.

[Helgraf]

The host watches the exchange unfurling with something that might pass for amusement on a more ... animate face.

"Yessssssss...."

"Tasty with gouda, as I understand."

"Zeb ... all matters of gourmandity aside ... there was once upon a time a motorcycle club that frequented these very forums ... one which I believe you to be ... intimately familiar with. For those too young to have rode with the pack, perhaps you might identify these rapscallions for us?"

[Zeb The Troll]

There's ... there's a question about my Hog Goblins?!

Of course I remember my old runnin' buddies!

It all started after I'd gotten home from seeing "Wild Hogs" (mock me if you must, but those guys could have been me at the time, middle aged men who happen to ride and were feeling a little case of the mid life crisis coming on). That got me to thinking about a good name for a group of bikers who happen to game (or vice versa, actually). I started a thread about it (long since victim to the Great Forum Purge) and Hog Goblins was what I went with. From there it was a matter of getting someone to draw up the logo (thank you, Ink, wherever you are!) as something that worked but wasn't too cheesy. Once that was accomplished, the call went out and a thread was formed in SMBG (because that's where "group" threads were being moved at the time, so I just started there). Sadly, it's place in SMBG made it not as noticable to a very large portion of the community and we never really got past those original four members...

Zeb The Troll* (yours truly and first winner of the Rebel in the Playground trophy)
Belethorien (my daughter)
Midnight Son (the most intimidating giant teddy bear from the Great White North I've ever run across)
Uberblah (our intrepid thrikreen street biker)

*In wholly unrelated information dispersal, for those who still think I'm a Monster Manual troll...

I'd be the guy on the right.

[Philistine]

Discworld troll?

[billtodamax]

*eyeballs Zeb*

...Disagree.

[Zeb The Troll]

Discworld troll?

Dark Ages of Camelot, Midgard Realm.

[Helgraf]

*eyeballs Zeb*

...Disagree.

So it has been spoken. So it shall be done.

"Zeb was entirely forthright in this case. Stopwatch takes the square."

If I can have Deathslayer, I will choose him, just so insult can't be added to injury. My topic, It's the most B movie season of all...

[Deathslayer7]

sure thing boss. Ya can trust me! ^^

[Lex-Kat]

Psssst. Don't trust him.

*POOOF*

*Cough cough cough* Who summoned me?

Ahhh, Playground Squares is in need of a question.

Deathslayer7, I'm not sure which season Helgraf was thinking of when he made the category, but the winter season seems to be rife with B-Movies.

One such movbie is the Polar Bear King. How many of you have heard of this one?

It falls most closely into the Beauty and the Beast category of Fairy Tales.

A newly crowned king is cursed by a Witch to wear the form of a Polar Bear. He finds himself a Princess who falls in love with hm and...... they do not live happily ever after, yet.

Through more story than I wish to tell, the King is taken captive by the Witch, and they are to be married.

So it is up to the Princess, who should by now actually be referred to as the Queen, since they've married and had three children already..... Anyway, the Queen has to rescue her beloved.

At the start of her journey, after foolishly swimming through a cold river in her night gown, she is given three gifts to help her on her journey.

Deathslayer7, name these gifts.

[Deathslayer7]

That's easy. I love that movie. Polar bears are totally cute. I mean all that muscle underneath. Mmmmmmm.....

Anyway, the three gifts hmmmm?

Well that is easy enough.

The first gift given to her that she uses is magical scissors that can create clothing out of nothing. So she makes herself winter clothes because it's cold.

The second gift she is given are magical shoes. They help her climb any surface, whether it be a vertical mountain or a vertical wall.

Lastly, the third gift she is given a bottle of air in which a magical wind is contained inside. Once the stopper is pulled, it will never stop blowing until broken. What is it used for? Watch the movie.

You can totally trust me boss ^^

[stopwatch]

Ok, I trust him. In other words, I agree.

Sorry, incorrect. But Deathslayer7's square remains open.

The first two items were correct. But the third was a magical tablecloth that creates delicious food at the clap of her hands.

THE BUSHRANGER! A field guide to Trolls.

[Castaras]

A dangerous creature that looks sweet and innocent, but only wishes to see your doom and eventual death. Avoid at all costs.


Quiet peace loving individuals that have managed to do enough science to realise the truth inherent in the universe and thus achieve enlightenment and become a super-intelligent shade of the colour blue.


He likes pie. A lot of pie. Feed him pie and you get yourself a new pet troll that you can attach to a leash and have follow you around, causing wacky hijinks wherever you go.

[stopwatch]

You forgot one.

[The Bushranger]

Trololol time!

Troll me with a question.

[Helgraf]

Castaras has been nice enough to demonstrate a variety of trolls.

However, for purposes of this question, we will consult the sage wisdom of Master Worrell. Master Worrell deduced that the weakness of a troll was to a particularly difficult substance to come by.

What was the substance that Master Worrell claimed could destroy trolls?

[The Bushranger]

Hmmm...
Well, I do believe that the answer is something Hungarian.
Hungarian Paprika, to be precise.
Master Worrell was smart enough to realise trolls don't like spicy stuff, you see.

[billtodamax]

Bah!

Disagree!
