10:52 pm, Sunday, April 15th, 2007I’m trying something a little different with today’s post. I think it’ll appeal more to people with extremely short attention spans.
This is superbly disgusting, yet I couldn’t stop watching. Damn you, MetaFilter.
I read about this Mafia game Tim’s been playing, but I still can’t really figure it out. I mean, the rules are fairly clear, but I just can’t imagine it being very fun. I must be missing something. I’d like to try it sometime though.
Ever wonder how tattoo artists practice? Okay, to be fair, I don’t think that’s typical. But it’s a pretty amusing sight.
I just saw the Ebert & Roeper review for Hot Fuzz. I wasn’t super-psyched for it before, but I am now. I mean, I was always going to see it on principle, but now I’m really enthused. Don’t you think the title sounds kind of dirty? I suppose that was intended.
Have you seen that Discovery show How It’s Made? They totally stole my idea. When I was six I’d watch those Mister Rogers segments where he’d fire up Picture Picture and show kids how crayons, pretzels, etc. were manufactured. And I remember thinking “Jeez, this is the best part — they should just make this into its own TV show.” Anyway, I’ve been TiVoing those like mad lately.
I made some “chicken pocket” things from this recipe Brett’s mom sent him. They’re basically just bits of chicken in a cheesy sauce (a seasoned roux, some milk, and a handful of grated cheddar) ensconced in biscuit dough, then coated with a little beaten egg and dredged in crushed corn flakes. I had to make ‘em cuz I lost a bet with Brett about actors from The Office (I’d confused Ed Helms with Jason Sudeikis and didn’t think Pam was in Blades of Glory).
SNL had the funniest bit during Weekend Update last night. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a YouTube link. Brett and I have been quoting lines at each other all day though — “It’s called flirting,” “I’ll always have a little Princeton in me,” etc.
Okay, I think I’m done.

Mafia’s a really fun game when you’re with a bunch of friends. It’s sort of like a detective game, where you accuse others and try to protect yourselves.
The host also makes it more interesting so instead of just saying saying night falls, mafia wake up, choose who to kill, they can say, night has arrived in the city of Gotham, Joker’s henchmen awake and decide to kill a random person. Who will they kill?
The game flows and more additions can be added such as the detective and doctor/nurse. Initially the game was just mafia + detective. Later, a nurse/doctor was added so there could be a chance that no one dies.
You can accuse someone of being too quiet, or talking too much. Then there’s the “no comment” is really a comment, so both the mafia and the innocent who are accused try to defend themselves.

OMG, I love How It’s Made!
I started watching that show when they showed (of course) how to make a baseball bat.
BTW, nice job saying you are 90% sure you think the Texas Longhorns are a football team. Last I checked, they are a University :P

Oh yeah, professional sports teams belong to cities, not states, right? Woops. But if someone starts talking about the “WSU Cougars,” I’d probably think of the football team before the actual university. Schools don’t need silly mascots; they’re only there for the sports teams.
Re: How It’s Made: Haha, nice. I just finished the one where they make fluorescent lights and mozarella.
Re: Mafia: Holy cow, has everyone heard of this game except for me? :P

Mafia is sometimes Werewolf, that’s how I first knew it.
SNL was pretty good this weekend. My favourite was the Sofa King sketch though — I know it’s just one joke over and over, but I hadn’t heard it before and it just hit my sixth-grader funny bone or something.

The best part of Sofa King was Bill Hader’s shaking shoulders. He always cracks me up.
