    I decided to go with God for even more obvious.

    We flew around with a few nationalities before questions 6 and 7 started getting very close.

    Is your character from the bible? YES
    Is your character famous for creating the world? YES

    Then question 8:
    Does your character play in a low-key band?

    So there's been a white van, which I assume belongs to the guys cleaning one of the empty apartments in my complex, sitting all day in the driveway that leads to my garage. Not a big deal, I can get around it an into the garage.

    This afternoon, after going out like a billion times to take my traffic school certificate to the courthouse, get a gift and then again for wrapping paper, I finally get stuff wrapped up and boxed up and am about to head out to the post office to mail it. It's like 4:35 or something at this point. Should be enough time.

    I get in my car and open the garage door, and there is a white Audi sport car (not a TT) with tinted windows (all of them) sitting in the driveway next to the van. Irritating, but not a big deal. I wait for the person in the Audi to either back out of the driveway or drive into the garage so I can get through. Nothing happens. I peer through the windshield; it's hard to tell since it's tinted, but it looks like there's nobody in the car. I get out of my car to get closer and double check. Yep, nobody in it. I turn off my car and go outside. There's nobody around. Some fucking asshole just parked his goddamn car in the driveway, blocking everybody in my garage inside, and then left the fucking car.

    After a few minutes, I call the number on the huge fucking red sign above our garage door that says DO NOT FUCKING PARK IN THIS HERE DRIVEWAY, MOTHERFUCKER and ask the LAPD to send someone down to tow the damn thing. They get my address and whatnot, and I sit on the steps to wait. And wait. I wait for about 10 minutes. Somebody comes out of the apartment complex, and while I'm on the phone to my sister, gets in the Audi and leaves. Twenty seconds later the parking officer drives up. I tell him he just missed the fucker.

    Fortunately I made it to the post office on time, but I'm really pissed off that this fucker didn't get at least a ticket. There's a group of Persians (sorry, I know, 'cism, but these guys really cling to the stereotype) who have friends who like to park their car in the driveway when they're here. They do it all the fucking time, but usually they're hanging out nearby so they can move it if they need to. Irritating, but not on the level of this fucking asshole.

    Twenty fucking seconds. Goddammit. Fucking car didn't even have a license plate.

    I was very tempted, except he already had a massive dent in the side of the damn thing. Also, on the off chance someone saw me, I'd rather not get assaulted by Persians, thank you.

    Although I'm nearly positive they know that I called the parking guy on him, so maybe I still will.

    Board game: Small World would be tempting. I forget when the new edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill comes out, but that's an awesome game.

    Surely I thought a character from a game which just came out would stump it.

    Alistair, from Dragon Age.

    Nope. And even had a picture, too.




    It's not exactly the thing can guess, it's that it can guess with the vaguest of answers. I'm just baffled by how mismatched my impression with the rarity of characters is with reality.

    Apparently Alistair is the only funny, male, short-haired sword and shield weilding Non-Nintendo video game character in existence.

    People own a lot of shitty books. They like to dump them on libraries, who have to then sort through them and throw away 99% of what they get. And most of the non-garbage books are duplicates in terrible shape of titles they already have that never get checked out anyway.

    I forget how many Kingsburg supports. I had fun playing it, though. You might be better off just going with Power Grid, though.

    Is your character black-haired? No No
    Is your character a male? Yes Yes
    Does your character fight? No No
    Is your character a religious figure? Don't know Probably
    Does your character wear a hat (cap, crown,...)? No Yes
    Is your character real? Probably No
    Is your character European? No No
    Is your character Japanese? No No
    Is your character famous thanks to television? No No
    Is your character in the Bible? No No

    Does your character speak? Yes Yes
    Does your character stand on two legs? Yes Yes
    Is your character rich? No Probably not
    Is your character from a video game? No No

    Edit: After each question, the first answer is my answer, the second answer is what he expected me to say.
