Cool, **Ghanima**. And a bit cryptic. Some shades of Jame Gumb/Buffalo Bill from “Silence” there.

I must say this is not the wrongest thing ever.

For I have seen goatse.

Now I’m getting a mental image of a goatse slide. Oh ick.

Where did I put the brain bleach?  
And let’s not even think of the Tubgirl Interactive Experience[sup]TM[/sup]. . .  
[/QUOTE]

How about the Catherine the Great Interactive Apocryphal Story Experience? You could combine them all for a three-fer.

[QUOTE=WhyNot]  
See, THAT’S the part I think is the wrongest thing ever (okay, not ever). Somehow I find it worse that it “commemorates” a movie instead of the obvious historical event. Really? It’s like a children’s game commomorating Schindler’s List instead of the Holocaust. (That doesn’t count as Godwinizing, see, 'cause I was posting about a movie, not the historical deaths of millions of people.) :rolleyes:  
[/QUOTE]  
As long as no one makes out during the Schindler’s List game.

😛 KRAMER: it’s in my book - “Astonishing Tales of the Sea”. 51 people died.

GEORGE: 51 people?! That’s it?! I thought it was, like, a thousand!

KRAMER: There were 1,650 survivors.

GEORGE: That’s no tragedy! How many people do you lose on a normal cruise? 30? 40?!

[Cathy] ACK! ACK! [/talentless comicstrip hackery]

You guys are _sick_. In a bubonic plague of the mind kinda way.

I love this board…

(Howzabout a [Sawney Bean](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawney_Bean) playpen for the young ones? You could have all sorts of fun with themed ropes and caverns in interesting colours…)

**Mighty\_Girl**? Which is scarier - that you made that comparison, or that I know where you got the referent for it? 😃

[QUOTE=Mindfield]  
I’d forgotten who Alfred Packer was, so I did a Wiki of him by just typing “packer” into the search. That brings up a disambiguated list of possible entries for “packer.” Under the People disambiguation, it differentiates Alfred by referring to him as the _gastronome_.I find this highly amusing.  
[/QUOTE]  
Tut, tut, I must don my history/English teacher hat and correct your spelling, **Mindfield**. It’s A-l-f-e-r-d, not A-l-f-r-e-d.

We need some sort of Saving Private Ryan dodge ball game.  
[/QUOTE]

Shouldn’t that be Saving Ryan’s Privates dodge ball? It still commemorates a movie!

and if they get too thirsty jumping on that thing, they can always drink some Jim Jones Kool Aid. We can have a whole themed event here.

The slide in the OP looks like it would be a real ice-breaker at a party.
