Miss Nihilist presents….. The Gross Assumptions Game!! Or as I like to call it: the ASS game! See, the very foundation of this game is based on the common knowledge that every picture tells a story and speaks a thousand words. So here at Miss Nihilist’s world, we are going to take an image, any image, and deconstruct it, making gross assumptions about the people in the image and what is happening. Get it? Sound fun? I think so.
Without further adieu, I present the first specimen for dissection:

BSG fans will recognize this image. Our favorite rag-tag crew has landed in New Caprica, prepared to set up a new civilization. Lee and Starbuck have professed their love for each other, and decided to break up with their respective significant others. Starbuck, being the deadly bitch that she is, runs off and marries Anders in the morning. This screencap is taken right at the moment where Adama tells his son that the love of his life has married another man.
Notice the pure look of agony on Lee’s face? Classic. Drink it up. You know what is even more classic? The pure obliviousness of Adama. He’s eating his chips, absolutely engrossed in its tangy Doritos flavour. He doesn’t even notice that the news he just imparted to his son has managed to rip Lee’s still beating heart right out of his chest and it’s still flopping on the ground. In fact, if you look carefully, Adama is looking off into the distance thinking “meow, meow, meow, meow… I want to eat some sardines right about now.”
But that’s the interpretation you have because you’ve watched the episode. What would you assume about these characters if you’ve never watched an episode of BSG? It’s difficult, but I’m shaking my head rapidly side to side right now, trying to eject all BSG knowledge out…. Okay… I think I’ve got it…..
Okay, notice how the character on the left has left his uniform slightly unbuttoned? He’s a ladies man, and oh boy, he just came back from a night of hot sex. The character on the right? He’s evil. He has a mustache. Mustachio men are always evil. He also appears fixated on food. He’s evil and he likes food. The character on the right has just told our ladies man that he has cannibalized his cat! And the character on the left is in agony, thinking “oh no! Not Fluffy!!!! She was a gift from my great grandmamma! I’m such a momma’s boy!” Evil Eating Man laughs and gleefully continues to consume the poor remains of Fluffy.
And scene.
Yes, I just wanted an excuse to post this image because it makes me laugh every time I see it (I’m evil, I laugh at Lee’s pain), but ooohhh yes…. This game is gonna be fun. Prepare yourselves.

Excuses excuses. Still, very vry funny. Its all in how you see it huh. And Miss Nihilist, you thngs differently I must say.
I say Lee looks constipated and Adama is just rubbing it in his face that he can eat and it will come out later. :)
