Take That: Cranium
By Alexis Swerdloff
Hey there, Take That-ers! Congrats, first off, to Brian, the winner of our Accessories Blow Out! Brian wrote to us, explaining why he wanted the loot:
the hat: obviously for sun protection, but also, the busy polka-dot pattern will help me blend in on those snowy moscow nights when i'm on reconnaissance... i've said too much already.
the socks: i'm depressed, but only in my calves and feet. I feel that the jaunty rainbow pattern will bring joy to my ankles and toes on days when the weight of the world is just too much for my weary stems to handle.
the belt: frankly, as a white guy with no ass, my use for this accessory would be strictly as its intended purpose, although a double bonus is that it's sassy! so maybe it's primary function is sassyness, and the pants-holding-up-ness is the bonus. i'll let you know once i put it on and start knockin' em dead!
the button: my other buttons have been arguing amonst themselves lately and i feel like this button, with its soothing color palatte might serve as a mediator between my johnny depp button and my the faint button, who have not been speaking because the johnny depp button ate the last lean cuisine.
This week, we're giving away Cranium, the board game "for your whole brain." This new and improved edition (still in the plastic!) features "100% new stuff; 16% more shouting; 22% more fun; 9% more outrageous; 100% more percentages!" Blaire Huntley models, as per usual.
You know the drill. Tell us why you must own this game in the comment box below and we'll send it to you! Good luck and God speed!

I'm a model with Ford agency and I'm in my twenties. I desperately need Cranium because I must start learning to use my brain before I become too wrinkly to make a living being professionally good looking.

I need this game to prove to everyone that I am smarter than them. I know that i smartr, but they don't. I am skilled in so many areas and all my friends and family need to know how talented I am. It would be really helpful if I can prove to them how intelligant I am without having to constantly tell them.
Thanks,
Kim

I have a very large head and therefore a very large brain. I need to test it and find out exactly how much info is being idly stored in that slimy gray material before Alzheimer's (who was that guy, Alzheimer???; was he related to AL Kaseltzer???) sets in.

Oh Cranium! Yea! I played this during Christmas one year at a friend of a friend's parents house. One of the questions asked how many pairs of underwear did my teammate own. I guessed 10 and ever since then, I am determined to play this again...How fun would this be at Bryant Park before the movie? Pretty, please, choose me! Thanks! Board games rock, especially Cranium!
