(Backhanded) Compliments Game

[Tigger_the_Wing]

Given the popularity of the Insults Game I thought that the considerable brain-power of our members could be used to even greater effect in a Compliments Game with a subtle twist.

As an example, I'll quote a 'compliment' I just received at another forum. I'm quite sure it was meant sincerely, but I could have taken offense at the wording.

Keep on posting and use our advice well. Especially Tigger_the_Wing's. She reminds me of the proverbial ancient wise woman from the past who gives the hero the advice he needs to succeed in the story.

Ancient? Moi?!

I suggest the game be played as follows:

Each poster compliments the poster above and includes something slightly less than wholly complimentary. If the poster uses a backhanded compliment that was once paid to them it would make the game more interesting if a little of that history could be posted too.

I throw myself at the tender mercy of the next poster…

[TwistedSister]

Tig, you are like a Mother to all of us.

[Rainswept]

Nice job keeping the thread going, TS. I was a little doubtful you'd understand the game but you pulled through!

[PantyGnawer]

Nice to see you back around here Rain. You were gone so long that we almost started to miss you.

[Edd]

PG, your wit is rivalled only by your tales of your fiancées bowel movements.

[Rainswept]

Edd, that was a nice compliment, even though insulting PantyGnawer is much like pointing and laughing at kids with Down Syndrome.

[TwistedSister]

Rain, you're lacking mechanical ability only makes you able to relate to women better.

[PantyGnawer]

Twisty, your level of voluptuousness is matched only by your level of flatulence!

[Rainswept]

PantyGnawer, your level of classiness is wonderfully illustrated by your name.

[daftbeaker]

Rain, I didn't think anyone would be able to make that poor level of joke (Bart and Roy excepted) but you managed it.

[PKMKII]

Daft, you do an exceptional job of keeping the doctors of Britain busy.

[Detective TurtleHolmes]

PK, you are of a healthy weight. Apparently women like it that way.

[black bart]

DTH, just like a turtle, you are tough, dependable and you make a fine soup.

[Detective TurtleHolmes]

Bart, for sure you are a fine ambassador of the Welsh people. It is due to your success that Welsh people are so highly respected worldwide.

[black bart]

Bart, for sure you are a fine ambassador of the Welsh people. It is due to your success that Welsh people are so highly respected worldwide.

That's very kind of you matey, I'm glad all my efforts have not been in vain.

Indeed may I return the compliment by saying that your championing of the Australian indigenous peoples has made us all grow to love your didgeridoo playing.
