Did we forget to post a Game Time on Friday? Nope!

Hello again, and welcome to another Friday edition of Game Time. In our last edition, we played the PSB Original Game, Bests and Worsts, and we asked for the worst first dance for a newly married couple. Let’s look over the answers.

DJ gave two answers, “If You Wanna Be Happy,” the song that advises you to marry an ugly woman, and “Evil Woman” which is self-explanatory. Both good answers, but unfortunately he is disqualified for posting two answers in the same comment. Sorry, DJ, if you wanna play more than once do it the old-fashioned way, make up fake names. For example, if you had posted as Jimmy Soul, you might have had a better chance of winning. Or rather, Jimmy Soul would have had a better chance of winning. Next!

Max suggested “Gold Digger” by Kanye West. He is also disqualified, since he didn’t actually give the title of the song he just implied it. Yer out!

Tony submitted “Sugar Shack”, using the following argument. We are looking for the worst song for a specific occasion. “Sugar Shack” is the worst song ever. Therefore, it must be the worst song to play at a wedding. Interesting syllogism, but Tony does not win. So who does?

Luca! His answer was “Lola” by the Kinks, and since Luca and Lola have the same number of letters, we thought it was destiny. Well done!

Now, what should we play this week? Ooh, how about another round of Bests and Worsts? Great! Earlier in the week, Mike talked about his new Animal Planet show, “Focus on the Locusts” about cicadas. That spurred us to this game:

Best new show for Animal Planet.

After some thought, we decided we would have a show called “King of the Forest.” We don’t know what it would be about really, since lions – while called kings of the forest – actually live on the African savanna and not in the forest. Maybe the show would be about deer.

Anyway, your turn. Try to come up with a better show. This time it shouldn’t be too hard. And don’t forget to post it in the comments, unless you are afraid of Animal Planet ripping you off and not giving you any of the proceeds.

Yesterday was Bastille Day, and I overheard two people talking about it. To me, the only national holidays that Americans should care about are the American ones, like New Year’s and Cinco de Mayo.

And after looking into it, I found out that the Frenchards don’t even call it Bastille Day, they call it the Fourteenth of July. Sound familiar? Soon they’re gonna start calling Christmas “Christeenthmas’ over in France.

If I worked for the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet or one of those cable channels that does lots of programming about the animal kingdom, I would create a show where we follow around cicadas all day. And I would call the show, “Focus on the Locusts.”

Of course, the show wouldn’t last more than two weeks, because if you focus on locusts too long you realize that they are just gross.

Did we forget to post a Game Time on Friday? Oops!

Allow us to explain. For those of you who don’t know, we at the Pake Shlake Band enjoy holidays, and we certainly enjoy not working on holidays. And 10 days ago there was a holiday, and we accidentally posted on it. Can you believe it? The Pake Shlake Band working when they don’t have to? Outrageous, we know. So, to avenge the mistake, we decided to take the following Friday off instead, which was this past Friday. Vengeance! And so, we are posting our Game Time today. Don’t like it? Tough luck!

Last Friday (or technically, two Fridays ago), we asked you to make up a little-known fact about the American Revolution. Booya made an allusion to the Boston Tea Party, Luca to Twinkies, and Tony to The Swamp Fox. But, the winner is Lorenzo, for calling the Revolutionary War by its original name, “The war when we hid in the forest and shot at them when they weren’t expecting it.” Well done, Lorenzo.

Now, for this week’s game. We have chosen to play the PSB Original Game, Bests and Worsts. Why? Well, here’s why: The Pake Shlake Band was recently invited to perform at a wedding. (No, you weren’t.) No, we weren’t. But we could have been. And if we had been asked to perform, we probably would have had to play the first dance for the bride and groom. And that made us think of this question.

Worst first dance at a wedding.

We gave it a lot of thought, well, a little bit of thought, and came up with Sir Mixalot’s Baby Got Back. Think you know of a worse song? Post it in the comments.

If I were God, I’d make it snow in July just to freak everybody out.

Sometimes when people are really tired and haven’t had much sleep they get bags under their eyes. Today, I have steamer trunks.

You know how at movie theaters, they tell you, “In case of emergency, walk do not run to the nearest exit”?

Well, what if there’s a fire? Then you’re supposed to stop, drop, and roll. So should you roll to the nearest exit or should you stop, drop, roll, get up and walk out?

Either way, it would make a great party dance.

You know how after listening to loud music you sometimes here ringing in your ears? Some people say that the tone that you hear ringing is dying, and you will never be able to hear that sound again. I went to a concert the other day and when I got home I had ringing my ears. I was kinda glad that I won’t have to hear that sound again. The band was pretty bad.

It’s Friday in Shlakeland, and that can only mean one thing: Game Time!

Last week, we played the PSB Original Game Little-Known Facts, where you the reader get to make up things as pass it off as truth – just like Wikipedia! The topic of choice was Michael Jackson. Hey, did you know Michael Jackson didn’t get the nickname “The King of Pop” until after he started doing Pepsi commercials? Yeah, neither did we. Anyway, here were some of the good answers we got.

Joey Bag of Donuts gave us this fact: “The Jackson Five are offering a 20 percent discount on their reunion!” Too soon? Probably.

Then, Tony and Lorenzo seemed to have an in tandem response, where they claimed that two MJ hits, “Ben” and “Rock With You” were both inspired by the singer’s sister Janet’s pet rock, which coincidentally was named Ben.

But the winner this week is DJ for his answer, “Michael Jackson’s hit song ‘Bad’ was originally titled ‘Good.’” We didn’t know that! I guess that’s why they call the game Little-Known Facts. Onward to this week’s game!

For those of you who don’t know, this weekend Americans celebrate our Independence Day, honoring the day when we declared our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and grilled hot dogs. To celebrate, we are playing another round of the PSB Original Game, Little-Known Facts, where you the reader get to make up things as pass it off as truth – just like Wikipedia! Ever heard of it? See what you can come up with for this topic.

Come up with a little-known fact about the American Revolution.

It’s like history class, but you get to make it up! Here is our fact:

Benedict Arnold’s birth name was Arnold Benedict, but halfway through elementary school he changed it.

See? It’s easy as pie. Apple pie. American as apple pie. So, play! It’s your patriotic duty! And who knows, maybe in 100 years children in school will be learning the “facts” that you make up today.
