Yeah, I thought the implication was that in the lore of whatever pretend reality the game takes place in, the penalty for losing the game is getting executed by hanging
"He constructed his own gallows, complete with support to ensure his weight wouldn't bow or split the noose beam, and dangled above the well crafted platform."
"Wow. That's Jim to a T."
"Yes. Tragically a T would have prevented all of this."
In the Bible, there are two accounts of the death of Judas. In one, he hangs himself. In another, he goes out into his field and his guts spill out and he dies.
And I had a Christian tell me that first he hanged himself and then his guts spilled out and then he died.
So apparently, he went out into a field, built a gallows, tested the gallows, hung himself from the gallows, didn't die, so God had to complete the job by making his guts spill out and not, I don't know, break his neck?
You want to wreck someone at hangman? Choose "jazz". Getting "A" as the second letter is no help at all, and "J" and "Z" are the last letters anyone guesses.
I always thought it was funny how media depicted kids not wanting to play dodgeball in gym when I had the exact opposite experience in real life all through school. We loved to beat the shit out of each other with rubber balls! It sure as hell beat running a mile.
