Well?










You can't interrupt in any way. You have to sit and listen for say ten or fifteen minutes.

Edit: First option is fantasy team.

No no bragging about how great of a story it will be. And their prep work has been limited at best.

Let me tell you about a dream I once had...

It was a dream where everything was normal, just like reality... except that all the colors in the world were reversed. The sun was black, the sky was yellow, newspapers were black with white ink, etc.

That was really it.

Oh, and humanity had been reduced to the status of pets, with ostriches ruling the world. Everybody had a leash and were walked/driven to where they needed to go by their owner ostrich.

Also, to show that humans were pets, we weren't allowed to wear clothes or walk on the sidewalk. We had to walk naked in the gutters next to our ostrich.

The sad thing was that the colors being reversed were what captivated me in the dream, not that I was naked... walking in a gutter... with a leash and being led by my ostrich.

No, that's what seemed normal.

I openly enjoy legitimate criticism on things that I like but I can't, for the life of me, see how anyone can dislike Robocop(1987).

Intricately.

Also, this one has the most potential to be told in an entertaining way. The mark of a good storyteller is to be able to make mundane topics and events interesting.

I picked complain about something I like. I have a coworker that absolutely detests anime. Every now and then I like to wind her up and just let her go off, it's genuinely amusing.

One day she was being particularly cantankerous so I decided to put on some Japanese pop/rock just to really get under her skin.

To be fair, I almost considered "reading this topic" as the seventh option, but I figured that'd be the obvious joke choice.

You could put on Japanese punk. Shonen Knife is probably the OG of Japanese punk.

The joke one. I like comedy a lot and also that I have to give a fake chuckle to be able to move on faster.

I like jokes that are short and sweet. I give up on my own jokes if they start stretching and make the failed attempt into the joke instead. I don't wanna put anyone in that position where they gotta pretend Im funny to them for an extended period of time. If I keep it short and sweet, it's easier to read their reactions and switch up to try out different angles quicker.

You should add "Having a conversation with a person who constantly misunderstands the conversation and answers wrong" :3.
