Culture Sag

In an online forum, the following were offered (mostly joking) as reasons why one should still like the U.S. "One of these things is not like the other...?"




If you reacted with some combination of surprise, disgust, humor, and dread, give yourself full marks. Somehow, Jessica Simpson is considered on par with:

  1. Looney Tunes
  2. Baseball
    • Mickey Mantle
    • The New York Yankees
  3. Corn Flakes
  4. Apollo Eleven
  5. Apple Pie
  6. Hamburgers
I could even let other poptarts (who shall not be named) pass, as they have verifiably reproduced, and could be passed off as a Mom if needed. OK, not really, but that's where one can earn a benefit of the doubt. This mistake isn't culture shock, it's culture sag.

I mean, come on. Apple Pie.

Today's topic for discussion is:
Another silly game: Filler. Inflate balls to fill up 2/3 of the map (Qix, anyone?), while avoiding an increasing number of smaller balls (arkanoid's multi-ball comes to mind), with gravity in effect. Time, ball, and life limits keep you honest.
