When you actually think hard about boardgames.....


You ever think of the darker aspects of boardgames? Look a little deeper and they seem to be morbid and ghastly.

Mouse Trap
A whole game planning the horrific murder of mice. I don't know why people can't just pick up a mouse and put it outside? If you don't want mice that's why you have a cat, or keep your child chained to a pole in the basement.

Risk
Today's world is filled with pointless bloodshed and depression. Why not channel that into a boardgame. What is more fun than the waste of millions of lives of red coat-blue coat-green coat men, horses, and cannons.
go fuck yourself alexander the great.

Titanic the Boardgame

How the fuck do you win this game??????

Monday Book Club

My compulsive behavior makes me want to read many books one page at a time for long periods of time. This is how I read, unless I really get into a book :)))))))))))) like Bukowski.

First off though, go to youtube and play this while reading.

Book Club Monday delves deep into the books I've read over some time.

Mason and Dixon ( Thomas Pynchon )- Ive had to put this book down for a bit because of other things but from the first chapter Ive liked what Ive seen. Sort of a "gonzo" re-imagining of Mason and Dixon, the surveyors who were responsible for the surveying of the borders of early North America.



Geneology of Morals (Nietzsche)-Nietzsche's various essays. Alot of boring blah blah blah. I know what he has to say is important but now i know why its an SIUE textbook.

Man in the High Castle (Philip K. Dick)-Dick's Hugo Award winning masterpiece is a good read. Not as in your face as VALIS, but the idea of an occupied America by Japan and Germany great. The last surviving Jews live under aliases and have had plastic surgery to not appear jewish. This book reminds me of the paranoia, violence, and god-like power of technology of this age. The Mediterranean Sea is drained for farmland and Africa is a nuclear wasteland.

Book Club Monday reminds me of how it amazes me how some people cannot spell. (forgive me for my spelling this is a rather informal medium).
This guy i work with has twice amazed me with words he cannot spell along with customers.

Dairy guy-dude how do you spell juice? Jewse? right
Dairy guy-dude how do you spell minute? Minet?

customer-hey man can you read this and tell me what it is?
me-yeah thats crouton.
customer-oh man thanks can you tell me where that is?
customers girlfriend-baby did he help you out with that word?

And have a great day.

The WEEKLY Top Five

The first post of the week will be the Top Five. This week is the top five movies I almost got sucked into, but bailed at the last minute.

5-Patton-This little gem starring George C. Scott is always on like clockwork when I stop by my parents after work to steal food. My dad seems to watch this movie everyday, I dont know why. Dad is always passed out when its on and I'm usually walking in on the same scene over and over again. Come on dad find another movie.

4-Stripes-This movie isn't bad but it's a movie you need to be in the mood to watch. The mud wrestling scene is funny but sad at the same time because John Candy looks like Vincent Donofrio in Full Metal Jacket sans soap beating. The only funny part of that movie is the end with the magazines where they interview Harold Ramis and it reads "He says the Reds are pussies".

3-The Ugly Truth- This Gerard Butler epic fail seemed to make me laugh every time Gerard Butler spoke. The more I delved in the more I knew this movie was too good to be true so I bailed.

2-Jaws-This movie was a favorite of mine years ago. I'm burned out, I'm tired, I'm done with Jaws. I never realized how damn long that movie was and alot of it was filled with sharks not eating people. Maybe I'll watch Jaws 2.

DRUM ROLLSSSSSSS

1-The Fast and the Furious-I was really tired today and this stick spore was on tv. I was paralized, i couldnt look away. I froze, like a tsunami wave (too soon?) coming right at me. Luckily my brother called and I bailed and went and played hockey.

The End.
