This is a podcast of people playing Fictionary! Fictionary is the game where you try to guess the actual definition of an obscure word out of a bunch of made-up definitions. This group of pals is good at Fictionary. Especially if you consider definitions like "doublure: a naked chiropractor" or "gosmore: a pony with all four of its feet stuck in buckets" to be authentic-sounding dictionary definitions. New episodes each week!

OOPT 50th Anniversary Of Trespass Part 5
8/2/2020
We've got one last round to serve up for you, and it's the one where Jen takes her turn as Pagemaster and found a surprisingly Scrabble-valuable word that none of us had heard before! We hack through a lot of fake definitions and snob out over people's tendency to use abbreviations too much, then the final scores are announced. One of us becomes The Winner, and this podcast is basically an uplifting sports documentary. Which is exactly what the world needs right now, isn't it? Also this is...

7/26/2020
It's Marshall's turn to pilot a round of Fictionary, and we all know what that means. Why, he's basically a walking contronym because he is both a person of movingly kind ethics and a fiendish master of competitive hijinx. All this can we truly deliver with this here fourth round of this fiftieth Anniversary Of Trespass.

We're mid-game here at Of Or Pertaining To, but don't expect a fancy half-time show! No Beyonces will be flouncing around flaming stages on this episode. We have the next best thing, however, in that Kai excavates a uniquely unfamiliar word out of his dictionary and we all get up to trickery and shenanigans about what that word means. Plus there is talk of pizza and disappointing song lyrics. And then special guest Bruce Springsteen emerges from the wings and the crowd goes crazy!

We get down hard on this second round of this peculiarly named game ("50th Anniversary Of Trespass"), and it gets ugly in the most beautiful way. But then it gets beautiful in the most ugly way and so everything balances out nicely, see. Bob leads the round as Pagemaster and takes you all the long way toward learning a very cool new word. Also he gets emotional about Minnesota, and maybe kind of not all that emotional about Shakespeare. This episode represents Bob-dynamics at their most...

7/5/2020
Kai really took us to school when he kicked our cheeks on the 49th Lammy Sand, so he was given the honor of naming the new game. And here it is: the 50th Anniversary Of Trespass! That's the name of this game, although it is a podcast of us playing Fictionary and not really doing anything about Trespass. Liz gets this game started with a familiar-sounding new word, and we talk kind of a lot about pleonasms. Pleonasms you guys! Do we have your attention NOW? Yeah, we THOUGHT so. #pleonasms

Coming to you from the beautiful Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota, USA, rising up from the ashes of a community riven by chaos, it's this podcast about word geeks playing their word game! We have another contest in the can which we'll keep dosing out as long as it's possible to keep editing despite the steady barrage of rubber bullets coming from the MPD through our window. This is the beginning of the 49th Lammy Sand, a game named by Kai, and also begun by Kai with a very...

You know how there are lots of rap songs where it's just the rapper rapping about how they're still rapping? This episode is kind of like one of those. Well actually it isn't, but this description of the episode definitely is because, you guys, we still do this podcast. We use Zoom so it sounds quite, quite internet-y. And we do this in the year 2020, so it also sounds quite, quite emotionally wounded. So laugh along with us as we make fun of bad video game titles before wrapping up this...

Welcome back to the 49th Lammy Sand, the ONLY Lammy Sand made with 100% pure Minnesota iron gravy. It's good for your T-Zone! Plug in and behold Jen's round as Pagemaster, where she does one of those words that sounds like a normal word but totally isn't and also you will be surprised at what the real definition turns out to be. We also talk about what we're reading, and we allow that to go on a tangent! Market research teaches us that you love tangents! And on top of all that, Jen's plug is...

Zoom-style podcasting continues as we continue to play our favorite word game while responsibly social distancing like the smart grownups do. We're on the third round of this "49th Lammy Sand", and Bob gets to dish out some phony definitions of a cute new word. Also we talk about there being such a thing as a "writer" in media where you might not expect that. And then we go off on tangents. SUCH tangents! Seriously, if you're into tangents this is definitely the episode for you, although...

You know how there are a lot of video games which, even though they were made recently, were deliberately designed to look like they're decades old? And how that's primarily for nostalgia reasons, but also secretly it's because it's a lot less work for the developers? Well, do you think in 30 years there will be a trend to make podcasts that sound like they were done over Zoom? While you contemplate that, please give some cursory attention to our latest weekly episode, in which Liz...

Help yourself to this delectable episode! Here's where we deliver the final round of what we've been ungrudgingly calling the 48th Santa Ana Cornhole. Plus we get hopping mad about critical writing, even though some of us do that sometimes! Are we hypocrites? Or are we Hippocrates? Seriously, how come no one ever talks about the similarities between those two words? We've been waiting for someone to bring it up so that we may reply, "I know, RIGHT?"

We're back on track now, we promise. Despite the previous episode's lack of such fundamentals as "scoring", we kept playing and kept recording and continued with our scheduled Pagemaster for this episode. It's Kai, and his word is strange. Also we talk about a language topic that is both super interesting and rarely discussed! If anything, it gives one hope that you are still pretty far from running out of interesting things to hear about.

Okay, so... well... okay, first of all, HELLO! I mean, of course "hello", right? Always hello. ALWAYS HELLO. But really, just... just a sincere hello from us all. Whatever runs through your head as you listen to the third round of this game we're playing, please do not forget the profound sincerity of our initial greeting. It will help us all to get through the, well, as you're about to hear... You know what? You should probably just listen. Unless this is your first time hearing our...

We decided to stay friends and keep playing the game of Fictionary, using modern technology that gives away this moment in history with a telltale elimination of audio frequencies. Zoom, that's what we use now to make this podcast. Just like the white collar workers some of us are, or used to be... Here's the second round, navigated ably by Liz. Plus also you can hear what happens when champions of writing quality are asked what they think of screenwriting. Where else will you hear that, you...

We are all locked down in our separate quarters, but we still play this game over Zoom. So here is Zoom audio of us starting a new game! Jen kicks it off with the first round of the nonsensically named 48th Santa Ana Cornhole, plus not only do we talk about the pandemic, we talk about how hard it is to not talk about he pandemic. And now this description is talking about talking about how hard it is not to talk about the pandemic. Which means that last sentence... yeah. We went there.

Hi we are diligently sequestered inside your audio device and have produced some new talky wordy play-y stuff for you, don't worry it is safe and you are safe! This is the final episode of what was mischievously named the "47th Wilson's Pullover". Listen in as Bob Pagemasters as mighty a podcast episode as you'll ever hear, or hear about, or share a universe with.

The deeper we descend into the seizure of civilization as we once knew it, the more these episodes, recorded in early March, start to seem like they were created by adorably naive children who had yet to lose their innocence. Join us, won't you, for a nostalgic look at bygone days when we looked forward to public performances, and mirthful poop-humor wasn't tinged with the irony of toilet paper shortages. Also, Kai teaches us about brown!

We always begin each episode with a warning that we are providing strictly NSFW language in our podcast. These days that's not much of an issue because most people aren't working around other people, but Kai really pushes the issue with his word selection when he takes over this round. You'll just have to listen. And since you're probably not in polite company, just crank it up real loud why don't you.

We used to always release episodes on the first of the month, which means we would always have an "April Fool's" episode. But now we just release on Mondays. So this non-canon offering is basically just us hilariously persuading you that it's Monday. Oh my god. You should have seen your face. You were like "it is Monday and it not-is Monday". Everyone will remember you and mock you!

There are some things that, no matter how grim and lonely the world has become, you can always count on to cheer you up. Some routines will just always be there for you to give you a little taste of the comforting humdrum of the Olden Times. We invite you to pretend, just for this short time, that our half-assed podcast is one of those things. Join us now for the second part of the 47th Wilson's Pullover as Bad Katy takes her productive turn with a sweet new word. Also we sound off on that...
