What a catchy thread title! 
So, what is Eat Poop You Cat? Well it's essentially a party game that requires the following things:
Pen(cil)
Paper
Friends
Sense of humor
Well since this will be a PbP, Pen(cil) and paper won't be needed. So you're free to use whatever image making application you want.
Since I'll be hosting this and the majority of my posts for this will be while I'm at work, all participants will be required to host their images on imageshack. Photobucket is blocked, and imageshack is the only site I know of that isn't blocked.
Ok, so how do I play? Well here are the rules:
Here's a sample of what you can get:
So how are we going to play this? Well since this is going to obviously be different than being in person, I will kind of have to figure out most of it on the fly while figuring out what works and what doesn't work.
Since there is no clear winner or loser, people are free to join and drop as they'd like. This thread technically can go on forever.

Waiting list:
1. Crimsoncoyote
2. Delmain
Infidel's sentence.
Horseshoe's sentence.

BoardGameGeek wrote:Each player starts with a piece of paper and a pencil. At the top of the paper, each player writes a sentence. Then they pass the papers to their left. The next player "draws" the sentence a la Pictionary, then folds the paper so only the drawing is visible and passes it to their left. The next player looks at the drawing and writes a sentence that they think the drawing represents. This continues until all players have their original paper back. At the end, all players unfold their paper, and much hilarity ensues as "I am the Walrus, koo-koo-ca-choo" becomes "Hitler and I danced the night away in a disco."

First off, how about we find out who is interested? For now, I'm going to keep it small. I think I'll limit it to the first 7 - 10 people that sign up. Then if I feel more can be added or some need to be kicked out, we'll adjust the number as such.

4. fadingathedges
5. Infidel
6. Drswords
7. Kias
8. Horseshoe
9. The Cow King
10. simonwolf
11. TehSloth
Once this fills up, I'll have each person PM me with a sentence. Now, to keep my PM box from getting overflowed with crap, I think I'll limit the "game" to 2 or 3 "current" sentences and then add more as we complete a sentence.

The ones in lime currently have a sentence sent to them in their PM box. I'll use orange to signify someone who has a picture in their PM box and need to write a sentence about it.

Registering interest.
Post all questions regarding the game in bolded orange.
I feel the game is pretty self explanatory, but any questions you have don't hesitate to ask.
i used to play that pictionary knock off on Shockwave.com ( Inklink ).
This should be good.
Sign me up!
Sign me up and lets see me fail some MS paint.
It sounds verah fun.
Count me in.

Anyone else that wants to sign up, feel free to do so. We could put you on reserves for when someone drops or if I decide that the game can handle more players.
Current players:
Please submit your sentence by the end of the day. When I get to work tomorrow (which will be about this time) I'll choose the best sentences and start the game. If you don't submit a sentence, no big deal. I think I'm going to use a maximum of 3 sentences.
As far as submitting your "artwork" I think we should put a 24 hour limit on it, then you're skipped. Now, of course life gets in the way or maybe you're on to something awesome, then just simply let me know by PM or the thread and that time limit can be extended. But after 24 hours of me sending you the PM I hear nothing, I'll just skip you and go to the next person.
This may sound harsh, but this is just a work in progress and I think this would be the best way to keep things going.
Right now I've received 3 sentences. Fading, Typhus, and DrS have all submitted one.
Incidentally, this game is known as "The Greatest Game" at the college I graduated from.
There's a reason for that.
Do you still want more sentences so that you can pick your favorites?

I'm about to send out the PMs, so hopefully I don't fuck up.
Images are to be uploaded to imageshack only. Any image uploaded to another site will not be accepted.
Pictures should be in my PM box no later than noon EST 1/28. Again, if you are having difficulties or your drawing is taking a bit longer than expected and you need a small extension, that's perfectly fine. But make sure you PM me or post in this thread.
1. Count me in as a reserve!
2. Shouldn't the deadline be 1/28, not 2/28? :P
How dare you correct me! Good luck getting in as a reserve now!
[tiny]I'll fix it.[/tiny]
Crimson, you up for that?
MSPaint.
Black Paintbrush.
Touchpad mouse only.

Great images guys! They've been forwarded, and now players with images have to write a sentence what they think the image is trying to say.
Then again, this is probably the fastest part of it. If everyone is able to get their sentences in today, then the next players can start on their images, sooner. I'm going to just forward them as I get them. I may actually adopt this model throughout the remainder of the game.
Also, I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, so I'm not sure how I'll end up doing this. I'm going to a board game fest in ATL, so I won't be spending a lot of time on the PC. I will have access, though. So I'm not going to set a deadline or anything, but same rules apply. Try to get them in as soon as possible, if you need more time let me know.

Great picture Horseshoe!
