Does anyone else get a little upset that its 20 degrees outside, there’s snow on the ground, and yet somehow winter doesn’t start for another two weeks? I’m thinking we should take this complaint straight to the top, with an open letter.

Dear Mother Nature,

Your Son,
Mike

You know how some people say “It’s not rocket science” when they’re talking about something that shouldn’t be too complicated? I don’t get it. Is rocket science supposed to be that difficult?

You light the fuse, the thing goes up. End of story.

‘Tis the season to play Game Time! Fa la la la la la la la la!

Last Week’s Winner

There is no winner from last week, primarily because there was no Game Time last week. Last Friday was the day after Thanksgiving, and you know how that is: Shopping, sleeping, lounging around the house. So we were too busy to post. But, there was a Game Time two weeks ago, so we could probably still pick a winner for that one.

Two Weeks Ago’s Winner

Two weeks ago, we played the PSB Original Game Bests and Worsts, and asked for a person with the best name-appropriate occupation. We were thinking of picking Joey Bag of Donuts as our winner, but then he demanded victory, at which point we said, “No way, Jose!” which is appropriate since Jose is Joseph in espanol. Anyway, he doesn’t win for the simple reason that he said he should, which was probably true anyway.

That means Elizabeth is the winner! She snuck in under the wire, posting yesterday, which was theoretically six days late. So, you posted late and would have lost if Joey hadn’t been rude. But you somehow managed to win anyway! That’s the true definition of a champion! Well done.

This Week’s Game

Well, it’s after Thanksgiving, which means the Christmas season is upon us! Last Friday was “Black Friday,” the unofficial kickoff for holiday shopping. We would have posted about it last week, but we were to busy shopping, sleeping, lounging, you know how it is. But, the point is the holiday season is upon us, and what better way to kick of the holidays than with a Game Time?

We at the Pake Shlake Band have our fair share of PSB Original Games, in fact, we have a monopoly on PSB Original Games. If you know anyone else who has PSB Original Games, report them to the authorities. Or us. We’ll take care of them. Heh heh.

Anyway, we were looking through our records and found that we haven’t played Little-Known Facts in a while. So let’s!

Give us a little-known fact about Black Friday.

Here is ours:
On Black Friday, the one millionth customer to enter a Target store gets a great deal on a TV. But, so do the first 999,999.

Wow, we didn’t know that. Did you? Give us your little-known facts in the comments.

Did you ever notice that the words “towel” and “bowel” rhyme? I mean, you probably knew it but never thought about it.

Anyway, so that can be confusing when your friend comes to you and says, “I was at the beach the other day, and this guy’s bowels were all over the sand.”

Then you’d be like, “Ewww.” But then you’d realize he probably said towels and not bowels, so you say, “Wow, that’s not cool that he was taking up so much space with his towels.”

Then your friend says, “No, I said bowels. It was really gross.”

Then you say, “Ewww.”

It’s time for a…FLAAAAAASH……BAAAACK.

And, I suppose, also time for lots of capital As.

One year ago, Mike talked about the mighty bulwark. Wanna see?

Bulwark

Personally, I don’t think anybody calls him a space cowboy.

Do you think at the first Thanksgiving they had paper napkins with turkeys on them?

I’m thinking, yes.

Thanksgiving is only a few days away, so what better time for some good old pilgrim history? No better time, that’s when.

You all basically know the story – Pilgrims (i.e. people with silly clothes) didn’t like what was going on in England re: religion so they hopped on a big boat, sailed to “India,” met up with the “Indians,” shared some “Indian” cuisine, settled in for the long haul, invited some friends over, killed the “Indians” with disease and gunpowder, and decided to make it a tradition to eat lots of food every November.

But what you didn’t know was that the pilgrims (i.e. people with silly clothes) originally came from a town in England called Scrooby. Like Scrooby Doo. No wonder they liked turkey sandwiches so much.
