I was told that I played “Cowboys, Indians, and Lobotomies” once, but I don’t remember playing it. I wonder why.

Yeah, I’m bored. Anything with vodka as a prize, punishment or incentive will help me be less bored. Are you pouring?

Dave – But that’s what I’m saying, though — people are bored enough to make a show with 26 cases a hit. Bored bored bored bored bored.

And the Japanese version of High Stakes Bingo would be to be have an electrical shock run through your body ever time one of your numbers isn't called.

Actually, in “Deal or No Deal” the object is to open cases and hope that something good (i.e. a big dollar amount) is NOT inside of them. The more good things that remain in the cases, the better the deal you get. I know this because I was actually bored enough to watch the show once.

I’ve always been fond of placing traditional activities on a mindfield. Like jumprope on a minefield, hopscotch on a minefield, and dodgeball on a mindfield. Good times.
