The 'You Are Wrong' Game

Purple Sparkler · 18th-May-2005, 05:25 PM

Since, in my oh-so-long 2 days as a Forumite, I've noticed that there's nothing you guys love more than a good debate, I present this game which I play at another forum. The idea is that one person posts a statement, then the next person has to say why that statement is wrong, and post one of their own, for example:

"I just ate a lemon bonbon"

"you are wrong, Simon LeBon is not lemon-flavoured"

and so it continues (the reasons should all be this silly if you can manage it)

I shall start, and see if you lot get the hang of it (I'm sure you will):

Purple is the new black

You are wrong, Deep Purple is not Back in Black.

Money makes the world go round.

No, I'm sorry, that's completely wrong. In fact there's nothing we love more than a meaningless and pedantic argument that hinges on the ambiguous interpretation of a single word, preferrably 'elitist' or 'average'.

You are wrong, Miss Moneypenny is not a well-rounded person.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

(OK, I'm crap at this

, but do I get points for Bond-ism?)

And as for:

For a unique value of "we", perhaps...

This statement is incorrect

Bangers & Mash · 18th-May-2005, 10:55 PM

d'oh. looks like we submitted at the same time

**ducasi** · 18th-May-2005, 11:31 PM

We'll let the next submitter decide which to reply to – both could produce interesting follow-ups.

Purple Sparkler · 19th-May-2005, 10:05 AM

Ducasi is wrong: Doctors heal a lot of the physical ones. And so does elastoplast.

Bangers and Mash is wrong: That statement is correct, it IS incorrect. So to say it is incorrect is in fact, incorrect.

There's no business like showbusiness.

Purple Sparker is wrong: Showing the business is not having a business.

Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow!

Purple Sparkler · 19th-May-2005, 12:10 PM

Not if it's rotten, or, indeed, a snake's egg. *shudders*

They're coming to take me away, ha ha.

Azande is wrong: everyone knows you have to margarine an egg not butter it and its always jam on the hen!

Simple Simon met a pieman, did you know?

Piglet is in fact correct but she forgot to mention they have started a pretty haberdashery shop in Eastbourne

No. Codeine is the opiate of the masses (scientifically true- codeine is the lowest level of a family of painkillers that go all the way up to Heroin- Mum's a GP, what can you do?).

I just can't control my feet.

No you are wrong, remote controls are a huge feat, imagine having to get out of your chair!!!!

No, you are wrong. White washing my fence suffered no ill effects from the colour of my socks.

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

Don't forget acronyms - mention of MIB can really enliven a discussion.

no, you are wrong. food doesn't affect my balance at all unless I am too far away from the table.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush!

**Aleks** · 19th-May-2005, 11:42 PM

A bird with 2 bushes is definitely not something I would want to handle.

What goes around comes around.
