Before you begin

Gather your supplies

Tick these off as you shop, borrow or pull them from the house. The list is a practical starting point, not a claim that every item is required.

The plan

Assign the Topics

Assign the Topics: Every guest must prepare a slide deck (max 8 slides, 5 min limit) on a highly specific, ridiculous topic they have no qualifications for.
Example Topics

Example Topics: 'Why Shrek 2 is a Masterclass in Socio-Economic Critique', 'Definitive Ranking of the Best Places to Cry on Public Transport', or 'Why My Cat is Secretly a Victorian Ghost'.
Presentation Roulette (Hard Mode)

Presentation Roulette (Hard Mode): Instead of presenting their own slides, guests present a slide deck made for them by someone else. They must justify whatever bizarre image or graph appears on screen as if it was their master plan.
The Panel

The Panel: The host acts as the judge, awarding a cheesy printed certificate for 'Best Bullshitter' and 'Most Chaotic Graphic Design'.
