Curmudgeon (noun) a bad-tempered or surly person.

Plug for another forum:

Before I found this forum, I was an active participant on the Comics Curmudgeon forum, composed of surly fans of daily newspaper comic strips. The 'Mudges, as the participants call themselves, are simultaneously cranky and hilarious as they go about eviscerating the comics. The Curmudgeon-in-Chief, Josh, a stand-up comedian, starts a new thread each day by making his own snarky comments, then everyone else piles on.

Like the S&W Forum, it is extremely well-monitored. Politics and flaming will get you quickly banned. However, unlike the S&W Forum, cussin' is allowed, and comments can be graphically x-rated. If you read the daily comics, it's worth checking out.

How about a blue million?
 
Any of you ever play a board game called Balderdash? You'd all probably love it!

Transmogrify: a fanciful or unusual transformation

You must be a Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes Fan!

We play a game called "fictionary". Maybe it's similar, but the only things you need are a dictionary and paper/pencil.
One person picks a word from the dictionary, writes the correct definition keeping it hidden. The other players, after hearing the word, write their perceived definition. The "definitions" are read aloud and the players vote on which is the correct definition. Points are awarded accordingly.

Lots of chuckles and laughter ensues because the words chosen are always unusual, the the "made-up" definitions are often hilarious and clever.

"Defenestration" is usually a winner in that game. The answer I liked best is a type of humor used by the Marx brothers.
