Thanks to reader JK for sending along this inspirational video.

In 2011, let us all pledge to manifest the spirit of this Chinese hurdler:

Top Ten Lists

Anxious reader GJ writes to ask about an annual year-end tradition:

Just making sure we can expect more top 10 lists this holiday season. I’m dying to know what the film genre of the year is.

Don’t worry, friends. Top ten lists are coming soon …

In the meantime, here is the archive of last year’s DECADE IN REVIEW lists. (Click on the link and then click on each following link from that link to read all the links.)

Reader Mail re: “Geek Game or Extreme-Metal Band?”

Kind reader AF chimes in on the parlor game that’s sweeping America:

It turns out that “Geek Game or Extreme-Metal Band” is one of those jokes that is going to stick with me every time I see a new board game. I’ve already spent 20 minutes working my way through the top 200 games on boardgamegeek.com chuckling about which ones would make great metal band names.


Turns out that two I thought were contenders, “Pandemic” and “Ra”, are already taken by metal bands … So if you need any trick questions for your quiz – there you go. Actually, knowing what I know of board game geeks, I kind of doubt you’re hearing this for the first time.

I’m going to design a card game called SUNN 0))). It’ll be like UNO, but slower.
