• Point 1: Did you do that on purpose Beanie (knowing that Halle played the part of Autumn in "The Program")?



• Point 2: Hustle, I take partial issue with "sunstroke." On the one hand, a person with a great deal of sunblock on might stay in the sun too long and have a heatstroke, since the tell-tale warning sign of seering flesh might not have otherwise pursuaded them to seek shelter. The "sunstroke," then, would tend to remove the wearer of sunblock, but not the sunblock itself. ("Seering sun" or "A lot of heat" might melt the sunblock, but that's not what we're talking about.) So I would have raised an objection.


Why does it matter? Well, I kind of like this game, so I keep an eye on it. When BB proposed the Movie Replacement game (which I believe was originally the Movie Removal game, but I could be wrong), I thought "hey, that's even more clever: using movie titles to remove principal elements of other movie titles!" Unfortunately (for me), that game's denizens have decreed that it is essentially an exercise in tangential relation of titles (which doesn't pique my interest because because because because because my mind wanders away from the novelty of free association pretty quickly).

This game, however, TP created with rules to keep the elements of good and evil, yin and yang, Old Man Winters and Scooby Doo harmoniously at perpetual loggerheads. This thread is the way of the universe, the eternal dance of life and death. This thread is a cult of opposition, and I have appointed myself its praetor, protector and most high impotentate! HEAR ME OH MIGHTY TP AND RAIN DOWN UPON US YOUR MIGHTY WILL ONCE MORE ... OR NOT!

Which is all to say, I get a little antsy when entries start to look like free association rather than actual opposition. While I loves me some sunstroke, I would have objected and called a reset because I don't see the removal aspect, other than the somewhat tangential way I suggested above. It's kind of like the "Atomic Bomb" rule: ultimately death cures everything, so it should be used sparingly.
