SALE-A-THON

Adding "a-thon" to the end of a word just to make it sound bigger and better is a practice that needs to be stopped. Unless a Sale-a-thon, Truck-a-thon, or Telethon is taking place in the Greek city of Marathon or involves 26.2 miles of something it should leave well enough alone.

I give the use of "a-thon" for non Greek inspired long distance races one tiny forelimb down.

If necessary to emphasize the scope of an event the following suffixes should be used instead: -orama, -aganza, or, -elebration.

Pepper

Did someone say I like my food, but I would like it more if it hurt my mouth and looked like it had some tiny dead bugs in it? I give pepper two tiny forelimbs down.

The Wrong Game

A game has never been more aptly named then Imaginations (c) "The Wrong Game." The premise behind the game is to give incorrect answers to simple questions. This is a novel idea for the first five minutes but after that it gets quite lame.

I give this game two tiny forelimbs down.
For a more satisfying recreational experience try Hasbros (c) Monopoly, the game where you end with fewer friends then you started with.
