The latest craze: Clipboard Roulette
June 5th, 2007 Posted in The Internet
In recording the latest episode of the Clue Unit podcast, we stumbled across what will most certainly be the latest craze to sweep the nation. Perhaps the world. Maybe even the universe.
Clipboard Roulette
The game is easy; here’s how you can play at home:
- Challenge a friend to a game of Clipboard Roulette.
- Post whatever is current in your Ctrl+V cache (…or Cmd+V for your Mac folks) at the moment into an email, IM, Twitter or any other agreed upon format. You must immediately paste your clipboard contents, no editing, no searching for something better than what’s really in your clipboard.
- The person with the more risque, troublesome, or potentially career threatening post wins.
It’s that simple. What used to be thought of as a "business disaster" is now nothing more than a fun parlor game. Isn’t the Internet great??
Need an example? I just challenged Lee to a game. Here’s how it went:
Me: "I challenge you to a duel of CR!"

As you can see, I clearly win.
Lee, Chris, and I may very well be starting a CVR League soon, so you should start forming your teams now.
