How To Annoy People In Yahoo! Graffiti    

~ by The Internet Slacker ~

     I have to admit, I'm a bit ashamed of this prank.

    Yahoo! Graffiti is a multiplayer game where a person is given a word they must draw for the other Players to guess correctly. The first person to get the appropriate word wins points and the round continues until two minutes is up or the person drawing gets his list of ten words guessed.

    A big thanks to my Internet buddy "CrashMan" for the heads-up on this game. He observed how other Graffiti players became enraged when he didn't play by the rules (probably because he was drunk at three in the morning). To quote CrashMan (intoxicated misspellings corrected), here are his suggestions on how to really play Yahoo! Graffiti:

u   Draw obscene pictures.
u Draw arrows to everyone but yourself and label them all "n00b".
u Write a riddle for the word out instead of drawing the picture (The word was burst, so I drew out the   words "This is what happens when you leave a soda in your car when its -32" then I erased that and drew pictures of a soda, and a thermometer displaying below freezing temperature).
u Just write out the letters 'BRB' at the beginning of your turn and wait for 2 minutes while they all get bored.
u Just write out the word they're supposed to be guessing every time (you'll win for sure) Make sure you've been bitching about other people use who use words the entire game.
u If someone pisses you off you can draw a picture of a guy getting shot, and label it their name.

   Sounds good! I had to check this out. And here is where my sense of self-shame begins. I had to actually put some of these suggestions into practice...and a guy doesn't feel very dignified when he's drawing a huge crude penis on a computer whiteboard. Trust me on this.

    However, I never failed to annoy most of the people in whatever Yahoo! Graffiti room I visited in my alias of cute_pretty_donna (my prank profile with a hideous adult-oriented picture... don't click if you're easily offended!) and that's the real purpose of the Internet, isn't it? To annoy, alienate, and enrage people you've never met. Yup.

    Ok, I'll shut the hell up and get to the pictures and the sacrificing of my dignity. If you think less of me after reading this article, I sure as hell don't blame you. I think I have to do some sort of penance for this prank; after drawing a picture called "Field Of Penis" that ground an entire game to a halt and got me thrown out of the chat room, I need to wash my entire body with strong lye soap...I feel dirty.

Here's the first game cute_pretty_donna slouches into...

Notice jakazmofo on the left saying, "thats a huge bitch"...he probably saw donna's profile...but anyways, it's my turn to play! What shall I draw...?

Yup, I told you the level of maturity was pretty goddamned low in this prank. It's pretty well de rigeur I get the "massive penis" picture out of the way. But the canvas certainly gets some attention. judabull is calling for my expulsion from the chat room...not very nice. I'll take care of that player:

There! That should teach 'em, even though I can't draw "oh baby" and "judabull sucks" with my mouse in a coherent manner. The player jakazmofo is now laughing at judabull. And I got a "what the fuck" from snapnoodle.

Annoyed at the players' lack of compliments, I proceed to draw a hairy nutsack:

Notice that jakazmofo is still laughing: "haha judabull". Then he thinks I'm drawing breasts with his "tities" guess. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot an important detail, maybe that will help clue jakazmofo in...

A hairy nutsack with festering pimples. jakazmofo gets it totally wrong with his guess of "hairie titties". I'd hate to see his girlfriend. Of course, he'd probably hate to see my balls, because this picture is a "self-portrait". The artwork seems to have deeply annoyed perfume_tn: "someone boot!"...hmmm...

There we go. And jakazmofo gets it right with "balls"! Damn, a picture good enough for any gallery.

Awww...as soon as I get my turn again, everyone leaves...
