G to the izzame T to the izzime.

When we last left our Game Time, we were playing the PSB Original Game, Headliners. In particular, we asked you to give us a headline about the historic moon landing. Let’s review, shall we?

Big A said “Man Walks on Moon: Young Michael Jackson Gets an Idea.” We give props for trying to tie in previous games, but we do not give him the win.

Luca headline “Um…Now What?” brought up an interesting point: Why did we go to the moon in the first place? Just because it’s cool? Well, i guess it was worth the billions of dollars.

But the winner: Tony for his response of “TAKE THAT COMMYS!” Yes, what better to celebrate an American achievement than sticking it to the Soviets. Indeed, “TAKE THAT COMMYS!” should be a headline for almost anything. Send a message to the godless Communists. Good work, Tony!

A few months ago, about ten months ago in fact, we played a game where we gave you a punchline, and you had to think of the set-up line. We thought this week we would play that game again. Here’s the punchline, for which you have to think of the question that leads up to it:

Because Dracula can’t flip pancakes!

So, all you have to do is give us a question to which that is the answer. Understand? Here’s how ours goes:

Why is a spatula better than Dracula?
Because Dracula can’t flip pancakes!

Now, it’s your turn. Good luck!

I was thinking about having edible paper and using something like chocolate to write with. Then I realized that was a pretty bad idea. Oh, and Willy Wonka’s crazy.

I like using the word “psychological” in the right context. I will give you an example.

Example:

Someone comes up to me and tells me that he got mad at his roommate for playing music too loud, so when the roommate left, he threw his iPod out the window and burned all of his roommate’s CD’s.

Me: Wow, that’s psychological.
Dude: You mean like now I’m in his head and he’ll think twice before blaring his music?
Me: No, I mean you’re a psycho, and you did the logical thing. For a psycho.
Dude:
Me: Would you like me to give you my iPod so you can destroy it?

I think I use expressions improperly.

I wonder what would happen if you left a can of mixed nuts outside in the forest. I bet there’d be one confused squirrel that would think he won the lottery. But then he’d realize that he didn’t buy a ticket this week, and even if he had, there’s no way the woodland gaming committee would know where to find him because he’d just moved to a new tree. And then he’d get confused and think that he had died and gone to squirrel heaven, but that wouldn’t make sense because where is Uncle Wilbur? And then another, less-thoughtful squirrel would come by and eat the nuts.

You know how when little kids make a promise, sometimes they say, “Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.” I was always a little put off by the sticking needles in eye part. I mean, isn’t the needle a bit superfluous after death?

Monday, you can fall apart. Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart. Thursday doesn’t even start. It’s Friday, I’m in love. With Game Time!

Howdy, folks, and welcome to another edition of Game Time. Before we jump into this week’s game, let’s reminisce about last week. We played the PSB Original Game, Bests and Worsts, where we asked for the best new show for Animal Planet. We thought all the answers were particularly good this week, so we will shout out a top three.

Coming in at third is Mamma Meg, for her series on ruling animals throughout history, “Reigning Cats and Dogs.” Perhaps the show will have an episode or two dedicated to Presidential pooches.

Big A is our runner-up. His show, “Kudos to Kudus” is sure to be a success among the antelope lovers out there.

Finally, the winner is Tony, for his response, “When Pigs Fly,” a show about training pigs to become aviators. If that is a success, maybe there will be a spin-off called “Hog Heaven,” which follows around the porcine pilots on their flight routes.

Well, done, everyone. That was a fun game, wasn’t it! Now, onto this week. For those of you who don’t know, Monday was the 40th anniversary of our lunar landing, when man first walked on the moon, and 40 years ago today the Apollo 11 crew returned to Earth, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. To commemorate these events, we will play the PSB Original Game, Headliners.

The Apollo 11 mission blasted off on July 16th, 1969, with the goal of becoming the first manned-mission to land on the moon. On July 20th, 1969 at 8:17 PM GMT, the “Eagle,” as the lunar module was called, landed in the Sea of Tranquility on the moon’s surface. Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, uttering the words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Buzz Aldrin soon followed on the moon’s surface. While there, the two collected rock specimens, took photographs, and left an American flag. A third astronaut, Michael Collins, remained in orbit. An estimated 500 million people watched the event on television.

Your job? Write a headline to this article. But, to spice it up, pretend that this article was going to run in 1969. Here is ours:

Man Walks on Moon; World Disappointed to Find It’s Not Made of Cheese.

Your turn. Post your headline commemorating this great event in human history. If it really did happen and isn’t just one giant conspiracy.

I was walking in the rain this morning and my socks got wet, and so I thought to myself, “There is nothing more uncomfortable than getting your socks wet.” I didn’t have to be anywhere for an hour, so I decided to take off the uncomfortable wet socks to let them dry for a while.

Well, the hour passed. It was then that I realized there is something more uncomfortable than getting your socks wet: Putting the same wet socks back on.

When I play “Red Light, Green Light” I always include a yellow light for more lifelike accuracy.

Maybe that’s why no one plays with me.

I was listening to “Red Red Wine” by UB-40 on the radio today, and they cut out the reggae rap section! You know, the “Red red wine you make me feel so fine, You keep me rocking all of the time” part! I was infuriated! That’s the best part of the song! That’s like playing Paul McCartney’s “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” and cutting out the Admiral Halsey part. Or playing “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and cutting out Elvis’ long drawn-out metaphor about the world being a stage. Okay, so it’s not really like the second one. But it is like the first one. And it is an outrage.

Speaking of outrages, did you know that the song “Red Red Wine” was originally by Neil Diamond? That sort of takes away the coolness factor of that song, huh? What’s that? Who’s Neil Diamond? He’s the guy who sings “Sweet Caroline.”

40 years ago, we sent a man to the moon. Then we realized Bermuda had nicer weather and was much closer.
