Jack who?
You know you've been playing the game too long when you're trying to think of Jack jokes and they're all dirty...
Warning: Today's blog contains mature content. And all that stuff about trying to be classier so I could live up to the standard set by my fellow LCs? Well. I'll start next week. I promise.
There's this thing that Fish does. The very moment I get on the computer, he leans over and says, "Oh, you gotta go to [insert website here]." Doesn't matter if I'm working, or trying to write an e-mail, or even surfing where I want to go, he always does this. The first few times he did it, I politely did as he asked. After that, I stated my objections and less-than-politely told him to buzz off. Now, years into this behavior that he knows makes me crazy but which he insists on doing anyway, I usually reach for something that will do damage, like a frying pan or a brick.
And yet, still, he does it.
Well, this last time... he was right.
He directed me to a game site called You Don't Know Jack. After reluctantly playing one game, I got hooked and played them all. By far, without a doubt, my favorite was this one:
There's kind of a quiet elegance to that one, don't you think? While all the euphemisms have gotten a fair amount of play at Casa de Fish lately, I'd have to say my personal favorite is Tootoot the Elephant, with Icing the Seal coming in a real close second. Well, at least now I know what to get Fish on his birthday.
The Beanie Babies. Yeesh, you people. Get your mind out of the gutter.

When my DH and I were in England, we used to play You Don't Know Jack on the computer. We would have lots of other dorm rats in there with us and it was a big party. (we were in the Air Force)
We just talked about it last week and wondered if they still made that game and if our old disc would work on our new computers.
Thanks!

Lani, Lani, Lani,
You made my day, sweets! Personally, I think Stretch the Ostrich was my favorite.

Thanks for sharing, Lani! My husband and I used to play this game from the computer CD version way way back when. I'm glad they came out with something more up-to-date! :)
