Tasty Week 4: Just Do It
When Nike slapped their logo all over their trademark “Just Do It”, they probably meant for it to be an encouraging statement. It wasn’t so much a command as much as it was a “You Can Do It Too!” Yes, that’s right, you — the chubby one with asthma — you can run that marathon and break a record!

Tasty Week 2: I Know Nothing
Game journalists like to think they know a lot about video games. For the most part, they do! Some writers have encyclopedic knowledge of the most obscure games: games are their love, the stirrer of their loins, the honey to their bunny. But how much do they know about making games? If this game journalist is anything to go by, the answer rhymes with “schmuck schmall”.
Remember This?
Do you remember the game from this fragment of a screenshot? A part of my suspects that today’s game will be too easy to guess, and someone will get the answer in mere seconds, and then everyone will laugh. But this is a risk I am willing to take! Leave your answer in the comments!
