A similar game.

When I go to MNHQ I will be taking some feathers.

What are you taking?

OP posts:
LilyFeather · 07/01/2026 13:06

A vat of tar

FuckOffWithYourFlannelNonsense · 07/01/2026 13:12

@LilyFeather Nope :-)

OP posts:
ShesTheAlbatross · 07/01/2026 15:44

Do we always have to be going to MNHQ?

NewYearss · 07/01/2026 15:47

Nuts?

FuckOffWithYourFlannelNonsense · 07/01/2026 15:58

@ShesTheAlbatross well it doesn't really matter, but everyone should start their sentence with "when I go to xxx, I will take yyy"

Doesn't need to be something relevant to MNHQ - could be "when I go to Mars..." It's what you take that matters.

@NewYearss Yes!

Toast

FuckOffWithYourFlannelNonsense · 07/01/2026 16:20

Our version of the deep but not profound game also starts with "When I go to Venus, I'll take my wellies". Again, the destination is irrelevant, it's what you take that matters.

@TrickyD is also correct.

When I go to MMHQ I will take some tea?

DoorOpening · 07/01/2026 18:35

I will be taking some doughnuts

Chuzzle · 07/01/2026 19:09

I think I will take some capers

Allout123 · 07/01/2026 19:40

Why are you taking feathers to MNHQ OP?
I'm not sure if I understand this thread but here goes.

When i go to Costa Rica I'm taking binoculars.

This is a true statement, I'm going in a couple of months - but did I completely misunderstand the thread. I didn't see the 'deep but not profound' thread so I might have completely missed the point.

FuckOffWithYourFlannelNonsense · 07/01/2026 19:44

@DoorOpening and @Chuzzle are correct

@Lookingforsomedirection you can't take tea.

@Allout123 you can't take binoculars, but you could take anti-histamines.

NewYearss · 07/01/2026 19:45

@Lookingforsomedirection take some Lapsang Souchong I hear it’s Justine’s favourite.

Lookingforsomedirection · 07/01/2026 19:48

I will take bears

FuckOffWithYourFlannelNonsense · 07/01/2026 19:51

@Lookingforsomedirection no bears for you I'm afraid, but the Lapsang Souchong as suggested by @NewYearss would be fine.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 07/01/2026 19:52

I will take guacamole.

UniversityofWarwick · 07/01/2026 23:04

I’ll take some unicycling unicorns.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/01/2026 00:27

I’m taking an elephant

marcopront · 08/01/2026 03:44

I’m taking marmite

FuckOffWithYourFlannelNonsense · 08/01/2026 09:13

@GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut
@UniversityofWarwick
@ErrolTheDragon
@marcopront

All correct!

OP posts:
LilyFeather · 09/01/2026 20:53

Why can’t I take a vat of tar?

DoorOpening · 10/01/2026 05:20

@LilyFeather sorry Lils but it isn’t permissible within the rules of what you are allowed to take to MNHQ.
Have a look at who is taking what, and you will be able to work out a better option as your offering to the wise ones. Along with my other gift I’m also going to offer a dachshund, btw.

Newfigtree · 10/01/2026 05:31

A sweet cherry pie!

daisychain01 · 10/01/2026 06:07

I'm taking a hairbrush

RaraRachael · 10/01/2026 07:03

I have no idea what any of this means 😕
