The names all have to include a color of some sort. So Amber Tabledance works, but Billy Wayne, Yolanda, and Tonya don’t. Well, unless Yolanda is also named Saffron, at least. ---

> [@The\_Hamster\_King](#): > > Walter White, in the meth lab, with the machine gun. Ah, I was going to go for Mr. White in the cafe with the ricin… We could have a Glaswegian version with locations like the pub, the off-license, the kebab house and the bus-shelter; and weapons like the chib, the haulf-brick and the broken buckie bottle - but we’d have to have a green and white hooped pawn. ---

A couple of years ago, I half-formed a joke about a “South Park” version of “Clue”: “The object of the game is to deduce who killed Kenny McCormick, and there are loads of possibilities from game to game.” Darned if I know how to flesh it out. ---

It was Rose Marie, on the Set of the Alan Brady Show, with a typewriter. It was Linda Gray, in JR Ewing’s Office, with a overdose of Vodka. It was Murphy Brown, in her bedroom, with a booby trapped folding bed. It was John-Dice, in the Emergency Room, with a Hepatitis infected Hypodermic Needle. ---

Step right up kiddies for hours of fun. Was it the sun baked tourist? The oil covered tourist? A woman to blame? A tatoo artist? A beauty? A Mexican cutey? Was it done on the beach? The front porch swing? The kitchen? The tatoo parlor? Was it done with a stale spongecake? A six-string guitar? A pot of boiling shrimp? A lost shaker of salt? A flip flop? A pop top? A blender full of frozen booze? Be the first to buy Jimmy Buffet’s “I haven’t a CLUE” game. ---
