You know, I hate this game. I hated it when it was a tv show, Richard Dawson? (Gawd. I looked it up and I *did* remember it correctly. Why, o, why am I wasting brain cells remembering the name of a host of a game show that I hate?)

The whole premise of the show, think like a sheep and be quick about it; the better sheep you are, the less original, the less creative, the less intelligent you are the more you will be rewarded--offended me. People were being encouraged to be stupid. This was alarming to me and I think it's a direct precursor to lots of other shit tv that carried on even to today, often to levels of painful wincing caricature. Jerry Springer comes to mind. (Yes, I know that's not a game show. The people on both shows all battle to be "The Stupidest!") I am embarrassed for all of them. Are they all too stupid to feel shame? Apparently. [/rant]

Ok. I feel better.

I like games too, so here's my two cents worth:

Name an enemy of Batman - The Penguin
Name something that fastens clothes together - Safety Pin
Name something that couples exchange at a wedding - Vows
Name the loudest animal in a zoo - Lion
Name something you wish people wouldn't do in your car - Grab the wheel
Name a city where something is going on 24 hours a day - Vegas, baby
Name something associated with the country Wales - The Welsh
Name a number you might have to memorise - phone number
Name something you might put out for the birds - bird bath
Name an animal beginning with the letter T - tiger

Because I liked ZenGum's idea so much, I wanted to copy it. Here are my comedy answers.

Name an enemy of Batman - Everybody! Who, besides Robin and Alfred are even on his side?
Name something that fastens clothes together - bodily fluids
Name something that couples exchange at a wedding - other bodily fluids
Name the loudest animal in a zoo - that screaming toddler lashed into his stroller
Name something you wish people wouldn't do in your car - ride free; gas, grass or ass
Name a city where something is going on 24 hours a day - the city that never sleeps
Name something associated with the country Wales - an generalized sense of inadequacy compared to city whales
Name a number you might have to memorise - the one you keep forgetting
Name something you might put out for the birds - cynaide and strychnine
Name an animal beginning with the letter T - you don't have animals with tea, it is a strictly vegetarian affair, so I choose Toast.
