I take that as very strong complement, as Good Eats is my primary inspiration for BGWS. (Alton Brown, from Good Eats, and Samantha Brown, from travel shows, are my Host Idols).

It was. Alton Brown rocks. Of course, when the farmer started chasing the gamer, I almost expected to hear the Benny Hill theme song. ;)

And I am glad that Yakety Saxs (aka Benny Hill tune) was not used just to avoid the cliched use of that tune.

Good Review! I thought the intro was great. When the intro faded to the theme song, I fully expected to see you come on clean shaven. That would have made the intro priceless! :p

Thanks! Keep up the great work!

Looks cool. Nice review as always.

I couldn't make out the last thing said in the video.

Something like:

"It's the only game with a *something something* in all of the world...*laughter*"

Can anyone translate the Scottish for me? :D

Also, Scott says it might be best with 2 players...yet the BGG page says it plays with only 3 to 4 players.

So...huh? :what:

Oh! That's what it is! I heard something.. umm.. different..

And from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Tupping:

tup (tp)
n.
1. Chiefly British A male sheep; a ram.
2. A heavy metal body, especially the head of a power hammer.

v. tupped, tup·ping, tups
v.tr.
To copulate with (a ewe). Used of a ram.

v.intr.
To copulate with a ewe.



So, the T-shirt had the right slogan, it was just being worn by the wrong species.
