A Month of... Board Games! Day 6: The board game for twenty men...twenty big men

I'm not just whistlin' dixie there in the title to today's post (mainly because, like Peppa Pig, I cannot whistle).


Nope, you really can play this game if you have nineteen friends to play it with! Or, judging from the title of the game, 998 friends! Wow! I don't think anybody has that many friends Facebook excepted.


So for tokens you can use nine hundred ninety-nine different things. Buttons, stamps, Batman action figure variations...it's your call! Do not use bananas.

"999" from Bananaman Annual 1985 (D.C. Thomson & Co., 1984)

Yes, Bananaman! You remember him from Nickelodeon cartoons, right after Dangermouse! featuring the voices of UK comic icons Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, and Bill Oddie, a.k.a. The Goodies!



So, Bananaman!


Not Bananarama.


Hmm, I wonder if Bananaman likes Bananarama...hey!

Over at his blog, Benjamin Birdie—artist on The Rack and a big Green Lantern fan—has come up with an idea so brilliant, a design mashup so triffic that I wish I'd thought of it first (That green glow you see about me isn't a Lantern Ring, it's jealousy, folks!): the Lantern symbols as New York City Transit signs.

Pretty cool, huh? To which I can only respond:
