Anybody ever own this 1960s board game?....
IN KEEPING WITH THE “BOARD GAME” THEME, MICAH MILETO THEN LINKED TO THIS VIDEO:
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes, Micah, I've seen that video before (from 1977's "Kentucky Fried Movie"). It is, indeed, hilarious.
"And a stroke of luck---22 material witnesses die of unnatural causes!"
But I'd like to see an "LNer Version" of that "Scot Free" board game commercial. The narration could then go like this....
"Your opponent spins the spinner and lands on The Carcano Rifle and then The Curtain Rod Lie and then The Tippit Murder --- all of which point straight toward the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald. But, no worries! The other side's got Mark Lane and Jim Garrison and David Lifton to twist the known evidence into an unrecognizable pretzel----and, suddenly, the guilty assassin is easily able to get off——Scot Free! (Available now from Shoot At Your Target From The Front, Even Though Your Patsy Is In The Rear, Inc., a division of Idiotic Assassination Plots That Couldn't Possibly Succeed, LLC.)"
MICAH MILETO SAID:
Does the game use Monopoly money torn in half?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
No, but it does utilize multiple Magic Gunmen, who are able to fire two separate bullets into President Kennedy from the front and the back, and somehow have those two missiles vanish off the planet before anyone can see them ---- even though neither of those bullets struck anything solid enough in JFK's body to allow both of those missiles to suddenly stop all of their forward movement inside the upper back and neck of John F. Kennedy.
Pretty cool game, huh?
(But it's only a board game. Therefore, Magic Gunmen like that are things you can believe in.)
