john commented on the word the great death game
"A great many things are dying very violently all the time. The best days for violent deaths are Tuesdays. They are yellow-paint days. Saturdays are second best - or worst. Saturdays are red-paint days. The Great Death Game is therefore a contest between red-paint days and yellow-paint days. So far yellow-paint days are winning by thirty-one corpses to twenty-nine. Whatever the colour, a violent death is always celebrated by a firework."

I still can't figure out whether you're using English, John. ;-)

Watch Drowning by Numbers, and all will be clear. Or at least you'll know where these quotes are from :-) It was one of my favorite movies once upon a time, I'm curious how well it would fare today.

I remember when the most notable thing about Tuesdays was that they were "Ads on Wordie" days. Now it seems like every day is a Tuesday. Which means every day bears with it the promise of violent, chromatic oblivion.

John did mention at some point that the ads were going to run every day. Can't remember when, though.
