Being the most excellent and accurate account of Game Night, held monthly at an undisclosed location in a major midwestern railroad hub.

Anti-John F. Kennedy board game
Board portion of the "New Frontier" board game, "The game nobody can win," designed by Colorful Products, Inc. The game is an anti-John F. Kennedy, anti-socialist "twist" on the Monopoly board game published by Parker Brothers. The front of the package reads, "The Funniest Political Game of the Century!" over the silhouette of a rocking chair labeled "J.F.K." The game board contains references to Hubert Humphrey, Lyndon Johnson, Edward Murrow, et al. The game was packaged by the Occupational and Training Center of Help for Retarded Children, Inc.

Sheboygan, Bratwurst Capital of the World
Monstrous adaptation of a classic SPI sci-fi game.
"Arrived at Sheboigin [sic] on the Wisconsin side, a small town population perhaps from 700 to 1000. This is a promising place. There are a great many best class of Germans settling around it. Tis all along the lake so far quite an interesting country."
Known as “the spirit on the lake,” the City of Sheboygan rests on the Lake Michigan shores about halfway along the state’s eastern seaboard on Interstate 43. Sheboygan is just 55 miles north of Milwaukee, 60 miles south of Green Bay, 110 miles northeast of Madison, 140 miles north of Chicago and 340 miles from Minneapolis.
Our beaches are brighter. Our fish are bigger. Our golf is better. Our food is the best! And it’s fun to say our name. Try it…go ahead…She-boy-gan. How do you Sheboygan? We surf, kite surf, wind surf, sail, kayak, jet ski, boat, fish, bike, hike, climb, race, golf, eat, drink, dance, relax, spa, enjoy. And we fry brats! We are the Bratwurst Capital of the World, after all. So come Sheboygan with us!
Even the mighty Kong seems to doze quietly atop the Empire State Bldg.
Sheboygan is the site of a proposed new spaceport called Spaceport Sheboygan.
But the forces of chaos and devastation are already arrayed outside the city.
Among which is the fearsome Gorgonzola, The Cheese Monster.
Who is forced to beat an ignominious retreat through the towering and entirely quenchable flames of the city center.
While, in suburban Sheboygan, this guy amasses a neat toll of bite size brownstones.
And the Evil One digests Sheboygan and googles his next repast.
Not doing their job
“'If the schools are doing their job,' A. E. Bestor has written, 'we should expect educators to point to the significant and indisputable achievement in raising the intellectual level of the nation—measured perhaps by larger per capita circulation of books and serious magazines, by definitely improved taste in movies and radio programs, by higher standards of political debate, by increased respect for freedom of speech and of thought, [and] by marked decline in such evidences of mental retardation as the incessant reading of comic books by adults.'”
