Unthinkable
Aug. 6th, 2003 04:18 pmWhen I was a little girl, I had a toy robot that was actually an eight track player. It came with trivia tapes and utilized the four tracks to let you press buttons to answer and get different responses. I also used to play my father's limited selection of regular eight-track tapes on it.
The main thing I remember listening to, over and over, was a tape of songs by Jim Croce. For some reason today, I've got these lyrics in my head:
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim.
So my question to you all this afternoon is this: In your experience, what are some other things that you just don't do?

You don't give a Wookiee the finger.
You don't agree to wrestle a Sleeth.
You don't order pork tartare.
You don't buy "just one more booster pack."
And you don't Obfuscate when LARPing in a seedy bar. (The Mind's Eye Theatre sign for Obfuscate is, coincidentally enough, also a gang sign ...)
