I didn't even read the post before I started mentally filling in all of the blanks with "my penis" or just "penis" as appropriate.
I want to add some kind of context to that, to avoid seeming like I'm just puerile, but nothing really comes to mind besides the general "what is wrong with me?" kind of thing that's just signalling and not really helpful for anything.
"[My penis] is truly part of you" sounds like a typical line from hentai. Trust me, I'm an expert.

I saw this comment before I saw the post. Now nothing but "my penis" seems to fit any of the blanks! (The Alcor example actually sounds like a compelling argument when filled in that way!)
Interesting fact about the original game is how useful the "vulgar" white cards are. Sure, you can fill just about any slot with "penis" or "full frontal nudity", but then you realize that about 25% of the white cards are vulgar, for any given round, at least one person will use one. It gets old pretty quick. Pretty soon you realize you need to reserve them for when they actually fit really well.
Yes, always reserve your penises for when they actually fit really well.
Oh, I'm totally getting downvoted to hell for this.
I did the same, but with the Youtube Poop pronunciation "PINGAS". And other YTP staples like "Gay Luigi" and "DINNER". This shit's bad for me, I'm telling you.
("You know what they say: one person's PINGAS is another person's DINNER.")
('Never go in against the King when DINNER is on the line.")
("TOAST is highly correlated with TOASTERS.")
"I can handle _____, because I am already enduring it."
As an aside, this post reminded me to get a copy of CAH printed, which I have now done.

I think "Bleggs" and "Rubes" are almost strictly better than spelling out "Blue Eggs" and "Red Cubes" in this case.

"That which can be destroyed by being a motherfucking sorceror should be"
Brilliant!! x'D x'D
(This might make a good slogan for pure NUs …)
I have taken the liberty of implementing this card list on CardCast, a free implementation of Cards Against Humanity-like games for Google Chromecast which also has the advantage of being publicly browse-able to print card lists from or use card lists in other online implementations of the game like Pretend You're Xyzzy. Just thought you might want to know.
This should happen on physical cards. If they're handed out for free, it's within the CAH license, and it even shouldn't be hard to do it in such a way that it's immune to the license.
BTW, I'm a fan of having the actual fill-in-the-blanks somewhere in the deck - hooray groanworthy literalism!
Blarg. Your first three ideas for black cards were exactly the same as my first three ideas for new black cards, and in the same order even.
I'll add some of these to my set.
I'm not posting mine yet because I want them to be a surprise. :p
This is awesome. If you arranged for a deck to be printed I'd buy it. If not I may try and get them printed on my own.
Most of the fill in the gaps ones are throw away lines or phrases that happen to be seen on less wrong. They're incidental to less wrong. They're even more incidental to rationality. wtf yo? Also, Why would you be familiar enough with them for this to be fun?
If the game requires no familiarity with the phrases that last part doesn't apply but I'm still worried by the possibility you'd all have the actual exact words memorised. Do you?
I recognize most of them, and could probably get the exact words right.
I fail to see the problem with this.
(This post won't make much sense if you don't know about the game Cards Against Humanity. Fortunately it has a web site. If you know the game Apples to Apples, well, CAH's gameplay is almost identical to Apples to Apples ... but the cards range from snarky to perverted to shockingly un-PC.)
After the LW meetup in Mountain View yesterday, the idea came up of a Less Wrong expansion set for Cards Against Humanity ... with a roughly Shit Rationalists Say theme, with a little help from Eliezer Yudkowsky Facts. Regardless of whether this ever happens, we felt the need to share the pain with the rest of the community.
These are meant to be mixed with the standard deck. Hence, the completed phrase "That which can be destroyed by being a motherfucking sorceror should be" is a clearly winning combination, as is "Why am I sticky? Grass-fed butter."
