[edit] Daddy's Favorite Porridge
Delete or BJADON Humerous, but not notable. "Daddy's Favorite Porridge" gets 0 Google hits, and it appears to be a simple game someone made up. Icelight 19:16, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
Pook. This game's real. I've played it. It's real. Dunno what else to say.

BuyLowSellHigh. Played this game years ago at boarding school in England. Could be a British/European thing, but it's definitely legit.

The Voice of Reason. Hey, here's a crazy thought. Why don't you guys stop acting like a bunch of colossal tools and leave the stupid entry alone? Honestly, this is pathetic. Do you really have that miserable of lives, where you feel the need to lord your nonexistent powers over everyone else here by playing Wikipedia Nazis? Go outside. Go get laid, for Christ's sake. Go do something -- ANYTHING -- constructive with your time instead of sitting here and acting like your socially inept opinions matter to anyone. You are a bunch of man children. All of you. Who cares if you can Google this entry successfully or not? Who died and made you king of the internet? Seriously. Get. A. Freaking. Life. Yes, "Icelight," I'm talking to you. Do not delete the entry.
- BobsBigBoy. Agreed. Do not delete.
DO NOT DELETE This is the original poster of the article again. Maybe I can help shed some light on this, because it's clearly caused some confusion. I actually did first play this game in England when I was studying aboard in 2000. It was taught to me in the kitchen of our dorm by some local students as a drinking game. We then started using it as a means of dividing chores, or deciding who had to do a particularly unappealing duty in the building (kitchen duty for the week, for instance). Now, living in Los Angeles, I've played this game in many contexts. I'm not sure how else to explain it's real other than by offering my experience. I can't vouch for the universality of its name, of course. Perhaps the people who taught it to me renamed it, or perhaps those who taught it to them renamed it. I just don't know. All I do know is it's a common occurrence in my life, the lives of many people I know, to play this game. I'd ask you to not dismiss it just because you haven't happened upon it, and because nobody has chosen to write about it in his blog or on his site (as if being on a personal site confers any legitimacy anyway). Thank you.
DON'T DELETE! Everyone should at least have the opportunity to learn the rules of this clever game. What group of roustabouts wouldn't want to take part in a game where one player per round is burdened with the label of Daddy's Favorite Porridge?! Please don't delete. I've played this game (and loved it), and want others to have the opportunity to learn the rules.
DO NOT DELETE This game is of fairly recent origins, but it is legitimate. I've played it myself a few times. GodAmongMen 00:12, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
