Personally, I would like to hear Ibby belt out a stirring rendition of "Every Sperm is Sacred"

I think Blaze would love that song. We really do think every sperm is sacred. The ones we produce, anyway

That particular song is about the Roman Catholic Church's ban on birth control. It features a family with about a hundred children.

The way things are going now with the Reproductive Health Bill in our country, I sing that song in public and half the people will try to lynch me while the other half will want to carry me on their shoulders.

Here is a link to that song, Ibby. Warning to the younger and more sensitive folks out there: This contains some adult themes and crude language.

I got to know the song from the Meaning Of Life soundtrack years before I ever saw the film.

I played the board game "Life" once. It can be kind of depressing.

I played Life once, but don't really remember it that well. It was one of the few really classic board games my family didn't own.

We used to play Monopoly a lot. Besides chess and checkers, it was pretty much the only classic board game we did own.

One of my favorite board games was Solar Quest, which was kind of like Monopoly in space. The property cards were full of all sorts of fun data on the various planets and satellites of our solar system, much of which I ended up memorizing. At one time, I could have told you, for example, the rough diameter of pretty much every significant body in the system.

The Mad! magazine board game was a lot of fun. The object was to lose all your money. They had the craziest conditions too, like asking you to cluck like a chicken.

I played Life with some friends a few years back. We made some adaptations to game play. My car had two blue pegs in it.

My friends prefer Monopoly Deal. It's a relatively shorter game and you can pack it in your pocket, unlike with the traditional Monopoly Board or other board games.

But nothing beats a deck of playing cards, IMO.

I love Scrabble and Boggle. Now I play Words With Friends and Scramble With Friends, which are basically the same things.

I never got into those games played via social media. I think I'd enjoy them, but I consciously avoid them because I don't want to get addicted.

Those are pretty much the only ones I play. I never got Farmville or whatever and I don't understand the fascination of that candy game people play. If games don't have to do with words or trivia, I don't usually like them.

I like fast-paced games that really challenge your thinking. My favorites are Taboo and a card game called Pusoy Dos, in which you have to get rid of all your card - but you can only play cards or card combinations higher than what the preceding player has put down.

One of my favorite sites is Sporcle. It's all trivia quizzes. I've even contributed a few.

Ooh, I bet you contributed Word quizzes, Rocky.

I saw a quiz contributed by CMK as well.

One was word-related. It was U.S. daytime soap opera titles translated into French.

The other three included one about the Episcopal Church, one about hymn tunes and one about bordering U.S. states with the longest time between their admissions to the union. The last is by far my most popular quiz.

Geography is quite a popular category on Sporcle, though I haven't encountered your quiz yet. I usually avoid the US-centric ones and play only the Country or Continent ones.

The Sporcle quiz I mentioned is here!

You have to name the pairs of bordering US states that have the longest time between their admissions to the Union.

I'll try it later, but I doubt I'll get many of those pairs My geographical knowledge is broad but not so deep; I typically know just a little bit about each country.

To be fair, my knowledge of the geography of the Philippines is pretty rudimentary.

some people pride themselves on knowing a multitude of facts; I believe it's more important to know HOW to find out the information you need to know, rather than knowing it already.
