@spud yes he was the badguy in total recall, and highlander 2, and pretty much his entire career he has spent as a bad guy (asnd i think he is one of the best) apart from splinter cell and seaquest 2030 or whatever season 3 was called where he's actually the hero

coincidently i watched starhunter - adventures in the forbidden zone last night and he was in that.. *agaaain* as the bad guy :lol:

the latest robot chicken was funny especially the hungry hungry hippo's bit, the bit where ben stiller and owen wilson are , what was it slides and snakes? wtf? its snakes & ladders foolish americans

it occurs to me i'm not sure why i started this with @spud, when really theres nothing here in the post that even remotely links to dinky :lol:

yeah gotta go with this max on this one, its called snakes and ladders. Its a british game, we called it snakes and ladders, end of story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_and_ladders

Maybe yanks didn't know what a snake was just like they didn't know what a philosopher was with harry potter? :lol:

Something to do with the indians... looks like its another game we borrowed from them, like chess. :lol:

from the wiki historical account, it looks like they thought they'd sell more games with the chutes/slides rather than snakes. makes sense to me - snakes aren't very appealing; blame the old testament, I guess. I take it the plissken thing was a joke. pity. cuz THAT would be a change worth getting annoyed over. 8)
