Going back to Thanksgiving Day drama, we had an interesting happening this year. I was at my dad's, spending the day with him, stepmom, stepsister and both stepbrothers (and their assorted spouses and fiancees), and dinner went fine. They were gathered around the table discussing Christmas plans (one of their cousins wanted dinner arrangements for Xmas settled by the end of the day) when the middle child, my stepbro Rich, threw in a "fuck" in discussing his work schedule. His sister mildly scolded him for swearing (other stepbro's 14-y.o. adopted daughter was sitting next to Rich), and he went off on her. At first, I thought he was using four-letter words as a joke, but it soon became obvious that he was in a full-on rage that I hadn't heard from him since he was in his mid-20s. He then took his fiancee and stomped out of the house. A few minutes later, my stepmom looked at all of us and asked, "What the hell set him off?!?"
We were all getting ready to leave by them anyway, but that sort of ruined any sort of party atmosphere, so we all were in our cars in 15 minutes.
That should have been obvious.
I got real used to saying that throughout the game.
Sean, for the
cocktails
cube, think of a type of
weapon
that's also called a
cocktail.
Oh, and in the
drugs
cube, google
zombie dust.
If I remember right, it's an
ingredient used to make
it.
In the
board games
square, any hints for the one off to the right of
strategies
, or the one above and slightly to the left of the center?
Hil, for the one off to the right of
strategies,
check wikipedia for
German-style board games.
I think I originally just googled
strategy board games
and then linked to wikipedia from there.
I'm not positive about which other box you're talking about.
Thanks Nicole, but I have
Triazolam,
the
ingredient in zombie dust,
it's the other connection I need. A three word answer.
Hil, for the first one, think of
Pinky and the Brain, and what they try to do.
The second one is a
very old game, not a Parker Brothers type game.
US Navy video of an F/A-18 making a very bad landing on an aircraft carrier. Really, I'm amazed the thing didn't go over the side and/or burst into flames...

Sean, the ones you need are very hard to hint at. I can try if you hop on AIM.
Thanks, Nicole! I've actually played that game -- I've got a friend who buys all these weird
German board games
off the internet and brings them to every party.
For the other one, it's the one above
board games
that's linked to nothing but that, so far. In between
Scrabble
and
checkers
.
