- Join Now to Play in GoldToken's 2024 Winter Olymipcs
You are invited to play in GoldToken’s premier winter tournament, the 2024 Winter Olympic Games!
If interested, please join The
GoldToken's Olympics Master Club! Click the link and look for the "invitations" box on the right-hand side of your screen, then click "yes" to join. If on a mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click “yes” to join. That's all you need to do to declare your desire to play - no need to send a PM or post a message on the discussion board. Please stay in the club until the games begin.
Note: If you have joined the club in the past, you will need to re-join. The club is emptied after each Olympics has begun.
Team assignments will be made soon, and you'll be invited to join your specific team's club then. At that time, you will be able to sign up for the games you wish to play. Players can sign up for as few or as many games as they care to. The first batch of games will begin in December, exact date to be determined.

Caption Humor - Take a break with a few, just-for-fun, rib-tickling images, begging for your captions! Winners of the caption contests receive a token made especially for the board. It's always fun to read the different captions players come up with. It's even more fun to come up with a funny caption of your own. There are so many different pictures each week that either tickle your funny bone or make your eyes widen with disbelief.
Paraprosdokian Sentences - Don't let the board name fool ya! It's all about laughter
and who can come up with the best ending for a funny sentence OR a best funny ending for a serious sentence. The sentence up for vote now is: "I Swear, Officer, I Really Didn't See.." and you end it by replying to posts. The players can come up with some hilarious ones and you can see imaginations flowing! So stop on by for some fun and chuckles!
Polls - This month's poll winner was
squirly138! Thanks, to her poll,
Who does the yard work?, we found out that 25% of players who voted in the poll mow their own lawns.

Pollmaster and let us know what your burning questions are! Be sure to include several answer choices with your question.
We're so close to a new year! Where did 2024 go?

November's winner is:
Pork Chops with Apples & Onions

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
