It take balls to win... [lsenater, Oct 23 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

What to get the person who has everything? Penicillin?

The endgame of [UB]'s "Collect the set" variation would be full of strategy. For example, if you had collected everything except for example, genital warts it would be bad strategy to simply have sex with someone who had genital warts as this would risk passing on all your hard-won ailments to them and allowing them to win. I predict the endgame would be an orgy of strage sexual practices designed to heighten the probability of passing on specific conditions.

Managing to contract testicular elephantitis should definitely count towards a bonus prize.

Meanwhile, why not move all reality TV, The Weakest Link, Jerry Springer & his ilk, along with most soap operas over to The Schadenfreude Station - All Misery, All the Time.
Now THAT'S entertainment!

I thought the Balearics were the venereal archipelago...

Croissant (more for the Schadenfreude Station than the show itself)

[re: Borneo] Wow - imagine having a new class of venereal disease named after you (a la Lou Gehrig's Disease) - talk about a dubious honour. Even better if you are the 'patient zero' vector in crossing it over the species barrier.

The V.A. participants would certainly put a new spin on 'Survivor'.

[lsenater] Its called Temptation Island (Don't tell me all those in-your-facers aren't from syph-central casting.

[GuyFox] Talk about serendipity. I just came across the word/term Schadenfreude somewhere else, completely divorced from here, yesterday. It stuck because the concept is one-off, yucky, and from my several-generations-from-the-home-country ethnic background (German, of course).

<completely off topic>How did [lsenater] get a "last modified" tag on an anno? I want one! </cot>

Thee only way you could make this interesting is filming the girls getting the diseases.....and there's plenty of porn sites where you can see that now!
