I've never been to Paris so I'm not sure exactly how it smells, but my impression is that it's not good. I was really tempted to buy dollar store hand sanitizer so I could smell like Paris at home.

I played the Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures board game, and got into an argument with my dad over whether sharks are fish.

At the risk of self-promotion (of a podcast which has ended), my buddies and I did a podcast for a few years about old/weird/lovely board games. We played Welcome Back Kotter and the Trump game, among about a hundred others. Check out Flip the Table if you want a deeper dive into things like Murder She Wrote the Game (surprisingly good!) or Dexter the Game (breathtakingly bad!).

Regretfully (maybe thankfully) we covered Trump before he was a nominee. We savaged him as people had been since the 80's: as a repeatedly failed businessman and reality show shitstain.

It's a good 'Shop because it's plausible. A game based on Duel is far from the most inappropriate adaptation I've seen. That would be "Gone Birding!" It's a VHS board game about loving bird watching.

Will cheat and admit that the Rex Hunt board game was apparently an exclusively giveaway that my nautically obsessed family was lucky enough to receive. You know how some families when they get peak boomer saturation will start playing country music? Mine plays sea chanties.

I'm fairly sure my username and avatar theme is at least partially related.

Flip the Table.

It's been defunct for a couple years but it ran for about five years and a hundred episodes of terrible board games. And the Star Trek VCR game, which was awesome.

My family had a copy of "A Chicken in Every Plot!" wherein you had to destroy noisemaking technology around the town so your chickens would hatch healthy.


I fuckin loved this game and everyone else in my family dreaded playing it with me

And if we were really really good we might be allowed to play Challenge The IRS!!

Paris smell like piss, gasoline and sometimes the most amazing bakery on Earth.

But mostly piss.

I went to Paris for the first time last year and was absolutely astounded by how drenched in piss it was.

Where the heck are you small town country bumpkins from that your major metropolitan areas don't smell of piss?

I know you aren't all American because I've been to some of your cities and the piss stench is most definitely not a uniquely Parisian thing

I went to Paris and ADORED it, but I also went during a historic cold snap, so the pee fumes were frozen, the rats were dead, and there were no other tourists. So that's my Paris recommendation. Go in a blizzard.

All cities smell like piss, but some aren't characterized by it. Boston, for example, smells of dead fish much more than it does of piss.

NYC has more of a fecal smell with a hint of hot garbage, except during the summer when it’s basically all hot garbage all the time.
