Explode the Whale

1. An action that has has good intent, but has quite unexpected and possibly messy consequences.

2. Naming the source of conflict and getting it out in the open. The results of which may not be pretty, but it is far better than leaving it to fester.

3. The abrupt release of any unresolved tension that has built up over time, whether intentionally or randomly. With unpleasant results.

ORIGIN

The Oregon Whale Explosion of 1970

A Brief History of Exploding Whales (from theatlantic.com/technology)
Origin:
The Oregon Whale Explosion of 1970 can be seen as a metaphor for life situations, when you intend something quite different to what actually happens.

Other notable whale explosions mirror that awkward situation in life when you realize you can't let something just sit there and fester, but doing something about it will get messy.

Examples:

in a meeting: "Look we all know what's going on - why don't we just explode the whale and deal with it."

from theatrical improv: where a partner abruptly shuts down the scene by doing something too outrageous. "When you shot the other guy in your scene you really exploded the whale"

Waiting for something bad to happen: "Wow, this situation is tense…any minute now the whale's going to explode! And I don't want to be around when it happens!"

1. You fuck a hot ass girl and cum in her soo much semen that will literally burst on her tits and good looking face.

2. When you get annoyed/stressed very much your mind explodes inside mentally and then you will be very angry and sad at the same time
Exp.1 Dude 1: Maaaaan!! I exploded inside this girl yesterday! It felt so fucking good. My cum sprayed all over her and she moaned, after that we got a shower and we cuddled and kissed while we slept the night.

Dude 2: Wow you're so lucky I haven't even lost my virginity yet, I wonder how does it feel to explode inside a girl.

exploding kings

Playing "Exploding Kittens" with a standard deck of cards instead of using original "Exploding Kittens" deck. Requires 2 decks for full emulation, but with 4 or less players you can use a single deck.

2-6 = pair-able cards (cards without instructions)
7 = skip
8 = see the future (1 extra "8" card is needed from 2nd deck for accurate emulation)
9 = nope
10 = shuffle the deck
Jack = attack
Queen = ask for favor
King = exploding kitten

Ace = diffuse (2 Ace cards from 2nd deck are required for more than 4 players)

Best if played by people who are familiar with "Exploding Kittens" rules.
Camper 1: Lets play "Exploding Kittens"
Camper 2: Crap, I left my deck at home. I only have regular cards
Camper 3: We can play Exploding Kings - use regular cards and use "Exploding Kittens" rules.
