Carcassone strikes again

Hey, all you Carcassone fans,
Have you heard there's a new game/extension out--Carcassone Wheel of Fortune:




Product Description
For years, knights, monks, farmers and builders have been undisturbed in their. But now a mysterious Wheel of Fortune changes the course of events in Carcassonne. The plague sends followers back home, famines must be fought. The players also receive additional points from knights, which collect taxes. Whoever is in the right place at the right moment, moves his destiny in the right direction. For everyone who knows the original Carcassonne game, the start is especially easy, because the Wheel of Fortune comes with just a few easy rules added to make a whole new game experience. Furthermore, the material of Wheel of Fortune can combine with the original Carcassonne and all the available extensions for even greater adventure. Wheel of Fate is both a full replacement for the base game of Carcassonne and an expansion to the original base game. It includes 72 tiles, consisting of 63 tiles released in the original base game, 6 from Inns & Cathedrals, 1 from Traders & Builders and 2 from King & Scout. It also includes a special replacement start tile which depicts the Wheel of Fortune, a new mechanic unique to this edition of the game. The new start tile is the size of 16 tiles, arranged in a 4x4 square and is built using some of the tiles removed from the base game.

Egg in a poke

So, I recently saw some people on the internet discussing the name for this...

And people had some crazy answers,

egg-in-a-basket,

toad in the hole,

egg-in-the-hole,

bird's nest

and a bunch of other names, check it out here.

But not even on the wikipedia site does it list what we all know is it's true name "egg-in-a-poke". And now, because I love linguistics, and because you all humour me, here's why I propose the Files name for it is the correct one.

The word poke is an old word meaning bag or sack, where we get the word "pocket". It was used in the 14th century by Chaucer, and in the 16th by Shakespeare. (They probably used the word when their mom's made it for them for breakfast.)

Therefore, since it is a very old word, and has fallen out of modern parlance, we take the older saying to be original!

Gazpacho

Today I learned that I don't like Gazpacho. It's up there with pickles and peas for me now.

I'd like to know what everyone's least favorite food is. Go...

R-rated

What is the top-grossing R-rated film of all time?

You wouldn't guess the answer. And then when you hear the answer you won't be shocked.

*HINT* - You forgot it was rated R. But when you hear the answer, you'll quickly remember it was rated R.

ANSWER

New Apple Product

I made this mockup of a new apple product, it's a joke, and it's pretty funny, the only problem is that it has a limited audience.

Failed

Today, I learned this blog is not going to work. Failed experiment, off it goes into the blog abyss.

Once you get a cut, you typically have 6 hours to get stitches to avoid a high possibility of infection and for best healing results.

GI Joe

I found this pic on the internet and I have no idea who this kid is, but I always wanted the GI Joe Aircraft Carrier.

Aluminum Cans

I have believed I could make money off aluminum cans my whole life, especially by collecting the tabs of cans. I think in grade school I remember hearing a full gallon milk jug of just tabs was worth like $25.

I guess this "money maker" is going to do me as much good as my baseball cards.

Here is the proof:
