Some days I'm glad my family is Jewish.
Christians have a happy holiday with a strange old man who dresses funny, has no legal address, invites kids to sit on his lap, gives them candy, learns their desires, slides down their chimneys, sneaks into their houses at night, and has them unwrap his package. Jews have a holiday remembering the Maccabees going out and slaughtering romans.

I'll take slaughtering romans over a crazy type 2 diabetic any day. Bugger might keel over from the milk and cookies, and then where would I be? Have to haul his fat ass to a goddamn hospital, totally ruin the evening.

Well, his drivel could be useful. I mean the sheer amount of random pointless garbage could really help when spamming forums out of existence.
But creativity would be a plus.

There's randomness with a point and randomness without one.
I quote the PD when quoting the PD is fun, for me. Because, really, spontaneous games of SINK are great. But make your own games. You'll have a better time.
