The F Word Drinking Game
Posted on 06.23.08 by Cosette @ 9:50 pm

Gordon Ramsay with wine

We watch a lot of British telly over here in the Technocave, and one of our favorite (or favourite) programs is Gordon Ramsay's The F Word. Not only is it good entertainment, but you can make the recipes that are prepared on the show, some of which we've found to be pretty good. However, with any series that has a Personality hosting, there are things about that person that you start to notice show after show. Gordon Ramsay's mannerisms and favorite ingredients have inspired us to create-- what else?-- a drinking game out of the show.

Pick your beverage of choice and an episode of The F Word and let's get started!

Please notice: play this game with all the rules at your peril. Your liver may very well leap up through your torso and neck and throttle your brain. Again: play at your own risk.

Rub That Suit, Hal

I remember watching this show--not this particular episode--but The Joker's Wild. But this is a good example of breaking the host. Not as good as when Richard Dawson shattered into fragments, but still pretty good.

Swayze is Back
Posted on 06.07.08 by Widge @ 1:41 pm

The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Patrick Swayze is going to be starring in an A&E series called The Beast, where he does not fight a tank in Afghanistan. I mean, he certainly could--and we'd probably watch that--but that's not it.

In fact, it doesn't really matter what the series is about, because we're just glad the doctors have cleared him to work again. He's been fighting pancreatic cancer, in case you hadn't heard. And although the doctors only cleared him to work and did not, in fact, confirm that he ripped out the metaphorical throat of his pancreatic cancer while making one of the best pissed off faces to ever grace the big screen--we're going to go with that.

We Are Klang: After That
Posted on 06.01.08 by Widge @ 7:31 am

In the process of trying to make their act a bit more civilized, comedians We Are Klang sing a sweet song about their youth, young love and speed traps.

Comedy Archaeology: Proto-Python
Posted on 06.01.08 by Widge @ 7:18 am
Terry Jones and Michael Palin from The Complete and Utter History of Britain

Chortle reports that the long missing Terry Jones and Michael Palin-created pre-Python sketch comedy show, The Complete and Utter History, has been found. There's a whole slew of British television history bits classified as "Missing Believed Wiped," where the things were destroyed under the impression that they had no replay value and the networks needed the shelf space. History was in that category, although bits and pieces were either kept by Jones or have turned up. Mark Evanier has mentioned before that had Python come along a bit earlier, it might have wound up Wiped rather than becoming a staple of the modern comedic diet.

As for trying to recovery Wiped television, they try to find extant copies of things in the hands of collectors or, apparently, right under their own noses.

One episode had previously turned up thanks to a filing error. At the times, Jones explained: "Somebody turned up a whole program that had been misfiled. All the stuff filed under 'Comedy' had been wiped, but this was filed under 'History' and so it was still there."

The series will be screened on June 25th. Let's hope for a DVD release in the near future.
