@messica: Oh - I absolutely adored Mouse Trap when I was younger. Perhaps my favourite game.

That and Run Away From My Drunken Father.

Videos like this are marvelous for teaching the kind of vocabulary, verbs especially, that people in that sector really need. English is used as the universal language precisely because it has more and more precise verbs to describe detailed movements. Though I suppose German has us beat. Anyone else has any other thoughts about this?

Also - I never saw an Ewok, but I did see Bigfoot anally-violating a Stormtrooper at 0:36. He was trying to make him squeal like a pig, but his comlink was down.

THIS is what the intahnets, and by the way,even sites like Gawker, were invented for. Long live silliness!
