Ok, so for the record, it was Mrs. White...with the revolver...in the study....

So, today, I met with a child (10 years old) whose mom has cancer. He's a good kid and coping well with his stress, wanting to play video games and such when I come over to his house. He talks with me while we play the game, distracted enough by Uno or the PS2 to let his guard down and share how scared he is sometimes, as any child would be (and most adults I know, too). Anyway, while there, he said he wanted to play a game with me, and said it was this cool game that he was sure I had never heard of, called "Clue."

Uh, Nostalgia Alert!!!


I haven't played this game in decades, literally. While the game is for the most part the same, the game pieces are now the actual characters, and there is artwork on the front of the box instead of the cheesy pictures from my box in the 70s. (Ah, youth....) Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and I had a really good time! (I lost, however, thinking the old bitch was in the library....she is a crafty minx, that Mrs. White....)


And, as most gay men of my age do, I loooooove the movie. My favorite line?


Wow...two Madeline Kahn videos in as many days.....she was a classic....

YESSSSSSSSS I LOVE THIS LINE! I just saw the movie for the first time last week. My boyfriend has always talked about it and my co-host on my podcast quoted that exact line on our old show. When I saw it on the movie, I died.
