Either that or these guys are some really good lairs.

“When we played ‘Devil’s Triangle,’ four people sat at a table. On the table, three small glasses of beer were arranged next to one another to form a triangle. Each of the four participants took turns being the “shooter,” they wrote. “The shooter attempted to bounce a quarter into one of the glasses. If the quarter landed in one of the glasses, the person at the table sitting nearest that glass had to drink the beer.”
The quartet added that while they do not remember how the game came to be called “Devil’s Triangle,” they were adamant that “none of us used the phrase … in our yearbook to refer to any kind of sexual activity.”
“If the phrase ‘Devil’s Triangle’ had any sexual meaning in the 1980s, we did not know it,” they concluded.
The committee also released a letter from two men who roomed with one of Kavanaugh’s high school classmates while they were undergraduates at Boston College. The men, Greg Aceto and Bill Van Pelt IV, said that Kavanaugh’s classmate Matthew Quinn had taught them how to play “Devil’s Triangle” and added that they did not understand it to have any sexual meaning.

Has the FBI investigated this yet to determine whether it is true?

Yeah … I didn’t think so …

#fakenews …

Weird. I was assured by the media experts who searched the Internet and urban dictionary that Kavanaugh lied and it was disqualifying. https://t.co/Haa1pzEfgx

Yeah, we heard that lots here, but I did not and do not buy it, mostly because it would indicate a level of sexual sophistication most high-schoolers would not possess.

Well, well, well…

Just to be clear we need to ignore this guy right? (From your article…)

On Wednesday, Jamie Roche, Kavanaugh’s freshman year roommate at Yale told CNN that he heard Kavanaugh use the term to refer to sexual activity.

Quiet. Kavanaugh likes to bump dicks and you know it.

And that’s perfectly ok and not worth lying about.

No.

However, I’m willing to stipulate you can find 100 people who say he used the term for sex, if you are willing to stipulate I can find 100 people to say he didn’t.

Then where does that leave us?

It leaves us right here, voting in the next few days. More investigation and delay is only going to line up more people on each side.

Roche and Kavanaugh didn’t get along with each other back in the day. I think Roche went to the no. 2 private high school in MD and Kavanaugh to the no. 5 and there was a rivalry between the two schools that spilled over to the personal relationship they had. What better way for Roche to interject himself than to say something like this.

So far, all the folks who’ve come up with something about Kavanaugh seem to have, or had, a personal or ideological ax to grind when it came to his nomination. I mean, I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that none of these folks ever took to the pages of their almuni newsletters, their newspapers or the news media at any time over the last 3-plus decades to denounce Kavanaugh before the Committee of Public Safety or whatever it is these Jacobins are calling it nowadays. :wink:

Like I told Monty in the Senility Thread…John Paul Stevens just wants his 15 minutes. Everyone seems to want their 15 minutes as long as there’s no chance of getting sued into oblivion or jail time. This world needs to find an asteroid.

Ahh, i see how this game is played.

If something fits your narrative, believe it.

If not, don’t.

Carry on.

Yes, I’m going to believe all 6 of these guys, 2 of whom don’t even know Kav, over 1 guy who wasn’t even in HS with the guy. You aren’t?

I am ok with that. And I assume that are now perfectly fine with believing the FBIs findings.

I will agree provided that you stick with that when they finish with the Mueller investigation.

as long as you don’t make eye contact right … never heard of that made up shit… devils’ triangle… shit don’t make any sense. Devil wouldn’t be in a MMF… a legit devil would be all about FFM… I’m calling Bullshit.

Serious question. Does there exist a description of Devil’s Triangle as a drinking game independently of anyone directly involved with Georgetown Prep in the early 80’s?

The Internet is a big place, almost designed to archive information about sex acts and drinking games.

Or was this game localized to just this one very specific place and time, where the name of a sex act was co-opted for a drinking game?

Serious question because I haven’t really tried to look, beyond the first page of Google results which are all corrupted by recent events.

Edit: OK, the claim is that the Devil’s Triangle is a game that originated at Georgetown Prep. That’s kinda convenient, but possibly true.

420 originated at my high school, so these things do happen.

We have some very specific to our area and time terms here in Santa Barbara…

Yoach (or Yoachie) - Hippie

Spandau - a person with a certain style of dressing

Sesh - Smoke weed (this may be more common outside our area)

LAed - to get cut off (in a car, bike, walking, etc.) by someone (referring to the driving habits of people who live in Los Angeles area)

Break H - Give head

Bouts - I’m not doing that

Unt - basically a rebuff similar to “fuck that” or “no fucking way”

There’s more but that’s all I can think of for now.

Well boofing means a beer enema, not anal sex. So depending on where you’re from colloquialisms mean different things. Although a beer enema would definitely make you black out if you went by the show MANswers.

Everyone knows that you play Devil’s Triangle with beer and a rusty trombone. Some even prefer to use a Dutch Rowboat to get drunk without really touching other people.

I thought this game was called ‘quarters’?

I’m thinking of setting it up at our next tailgate party just to be a smartass. They way I see it, the shooter position never changes and the 4 players rotate around the table. If you’re good you can choose who has to drink based on what cup you shoot the quarter into. Now, the question is how will everyone react when I yell, “who wants to play Devil’s Traingle?” I might get hit!
