WNYX the Board Game UPDATED!!!

     For all those out there that enjoyed late 90s TV sitcoms and hilarious actors like Phil Hartman, Dave Foley, Steven Root and the like... it's been different over the years. Things have changed...just a bit.

     There is a Newsradio board game out there, along with the radio shows, cartoons, and random memes that one can come across. The board game was recently updated and currently sells on ETSY and AMAZON. Here are some pics!

 (Pictured above is the full setup: tiny radios, 8 different player tokens, Memo cards, Complaint Box cards, Trivia cards, Character cards, & of course the board itself) 

(Above you can see closeups of all the card decks used in the game)

(Above are pictures of each of the characters used during gameplay...no Mr. James?)

     

     If you have followed this game at all you will have noticed some improvements in card and player token construction. Also, in regards to "Jimmy", he and "Bill's cane" play a part in the Advanced Play set of instructions where each player draws a random "Jimmy card" at the start of their turn providing them with a "Happy Jimmy", "Sad Jimmy", "Neutral Jimmy", or "Bill's Cane". Each of these provide something specific for that turn.

     Well, that's all I have so far, other than you can buy specific "bundles" of the game from the ChooChoo8MitMit ETSY site...gotta love options.

It's Like Hail in Texas...

It happens...oh boy does it happen. Around March every year in North Texas you can count on some ridiculously "reliable" weather...
Just like the craziness of hail in Texas ChooChoo8MitMit is having a crazy spring sale on WNYX the Game.

If you were EVER a fan of the show 'Newsradio' from back in the mid-late '90s, you will appreciate this purchase. Have a great night!

Riddles

So as many have been gearing up for the next 'Hobbit' movie later this year I reflected on some of the great times we've all had the world of Tolkien...whether it has been making tough decisions like our good friend Gollum...

...finding inner peace, and strength like Sam & Frodo....or whether it was something COMPLETELY off-the-wall like "what do the Wargs eat when the Orcs are not at battle?" I would like to imagine it is some sort of special canned Warg-formula, composed of 3 types of flesh: Dwarf, Elf, & Man-flesh! And for that Warg close to your cold black heart (or whatever thumps inside the chest of an Orc) the New Improved Formula now with Hobbit-Flesh!!!

Either way, no matter where your mind has been questing since the last Tolkien-based movie, there is one thing we can all agree on...Gandalf needs to give Gollum composition lessons, or some Middle Earth ESOL equivalency class. Merely a month and a half till 'The Battle of Five Armies', gear up and get ready!

P.S.  Keene/FX is pumping out some new HP edition trunks on ETSY & AMAZON, check it out!!!

Golden Versatility

Seriously though! Who DOESN'T love a good cane?! A little tap tap tap here. A little tap tap tap there... very useful. Especially in the world of hip surgery and pimps. I'm sure there's an elderly man in a big city out there rockin' a diamond crusted, solid gold walker! Can't SNAP that business!

 Nothing like random free candy that appears in your desk, right? I'm more prone to running into the kinds of elves that move stuff around so that when you go to look for it it's not there...so that you are made to look foolish.

Poor, poor Max... Was it "Hideous", "Horrible", or "Terrible"? ...I forget.

Always something to think about before you grow out a 'stache... Do you want to look like "you belong in an amateur porn convention?" Facial hair is kinda "the thing" these days...guess it's all just how you go with it.

Murals really are the last TRUE form of free expression, aren't they?

Happy Birthday Phil Hartman!

So it was a great day, Phil Hartman's birthday. Wish he was still alive... got a post on the 'WNYX the Game' Facebook site which was quite the impressive poem about the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer by a certain Neil Dickinson...good stuff.

#wnyxthecartoon

He was a great comedian and the art he left behind still brings many laughs today. If you're unfamiliar, or have happened to forgotten, check his stuff out!

What smells like Goldenrod copier paper?

 Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, that tall funny guy named...Brian? Apologies, I forget. Together with Dave Foley (Nelson on WNYX) &their powers combined, they are 'Chock Full O' Notes!' And they are most definitely NOT a barbershop quartet...apparently it's a completely "segacious format" compared to acapella...

 

...And don't get me STARTED on homemade herbal teas in the office place! You got people slippin' an' trippin' all over themselves, next thing you know somebody smells like urine-tea because they sat down on a table and it collapsed on them whilst holding a bunch of cups!

Just one thing to say...never eat a nicotine patch.

 

Coffee...chaw spit...what's the difference! Right?!?

 

If you're looking for something to make your feet stank allll night long then Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor is where it's at! Just don't try to find it in the 'local pub' seeing as its dispensary is on street corners and under bridges!

 Just to clarify for anyone wondering: I do NOT have anything against herbal teas and do not think they smell like urine. Yellow is NOT my favorite color. I am not part of a barbershop quartet OR acapella group, nor do I have anything against them. I have never eaten a nicotine patch and I do not plan to. In regards to Rocket Fuel...well, that's why we have rockets, I'll stick with coffee. 

Look out for mugs, WNYX the Board Game, and VERY soon to be available the one and only GooFYBaLL along with free App!
