You Sank My Battleship

I think today will be one of those days where I post several times. But maybe not. I, like the wind itself, am ever-changing and fickle.

That being said, I saw this ad for a new version of Clue. You might ask, how do you improve upon Clue? Well, as with any board game, to make it better, you make it talk. You insert a little chip so that when you do something, it talks. Saves us all the trouble of reading.

So, electronic talking Clue. What I heard, though, from a friend of a friend, is that when they released this new Clue in test markets in California, they ended up recalling every single one of them. Why, you ask?

Well, again according to this friend (of a friend, really), the same company makes electronic talking Clue as electronic talking Battleship, and so some of the ETBattleship chips got mixed in with the ETClue. So there were some kids expecting to hear Col. Mustard talking and who instead heard "You Sank My Battleship". How bizarre is that?

I also must thank Whet for his kind words re my sub-heading. While I would like to take claim for "My Name is Dan. Eat My Fuck", I cannot. My good friend Mike thought that one up. But it's not like he trade-marked it or anything.

I have also just received my first email re my office holiday party. They are promising 5 floors of food, music & entertainment. I will need a date. Any takers? Or, I mean, want-to-be-takeners? Because I would do the taking, I guess. Oh, same difference.
