I found this quite funny

A student hid the lyrics of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" in a college paper.

So did I, but who would want to read through that paper anyway?:cnfs:
I was lost after the first line!!:D

 

I didn't read any of it, just the first word highlighted in each line.

I guessed it would be rubbish.

It appealed to me as it's just another form of "Buzzword Bingo"

Digressing

I and the contributors to another private board used to play that on the BBC's Points of View message board, where you had to get the "word or words of the day" into a post.

The task that week was to get the names of as many musical instruments into a post as you could. It didn't matter what was the topic, though you couldn't start one yourself. The word could be broken up by punctuation or spaces, but all the letters had to appear in the correct order with no other letters in between,. It didn't matter if your word was part of the end of one word and a bit of the beging of the next.

Here's a random example of mine from five years ago

I got;

Accordion
Castanets
Cello
Concertina
Drum
Harmonica
Maracas
Organ
Tuba


It seems impossible to get to a situation where everyone is in accord. I on this subject have the view that there is too much TV available anyway. The schedulers seem to wish to cast a net so wide and be all things to all people, so we end up with endless repeats and programmes of little merit transmitted 24/7. There's too much duplication of programes in the same vein or cell, often on more than one channel at the same time. I know it would be impossible to get every channel to work in concert in an a ttempt to avoid this, no matter how hard we try to drum this into them. Such an harmonic arrangement is beyond their comprehension. Because of all the duplication, I've banged on about the "cast magic roundabout" in the past. where the same actors mar a cast of merit, simply because they seem to have "stepped out of one programme into another." I can't see it ever being organised to everyone's satisfaction regardless how often we bang on this tub again.


I even put them in alphabetical order!

I also put our week number and the number of words at the bottom of the post, for other players to check.


It makes an almost comprehensible post.

We got quite good at it over a few months, but then the novelty wore off. so we didn't bother any more

Message#5 was another contributor's

He had,

1.Piano
2.Triangle
3.Trumpet
4.Trombone
5.Flute

(he was messing about with his week & word number, even I didn't understand that) This was his explanation.

The count, 22.10, is in Base 5 - week 12 : (2*5)+2 = 12 and (5*1)+0 = 5 ...



Despite the posts often being nonsense, other BBC POV posters would sometimes respond directly (as did one to my post) and no one ever sussed us out.
