Just when I thought I had come up with the most cleverest game ever … I discover Pie Face. Click, click click … whoops! It’s PIE FACE! Everything I thought I knew about everything is now wrong.
I shudder to think about being strapped into that creepy headlock thing while playing a game of dairy Russian Roulette. I bet there’s laws against games like this nowadays.

Delirium was talking about the PBS show Mystery and her comment unearthed vague, uneasy memories of the animated opening on the show. She informed me it was done by the macabre illustrator Edward Gorey. I remember as a tyke, being transfixed with nervousness every time my parents tuned in to to watch Mystery. Of course, Youtube has the opening. I’m ascared.
