Germany, secretly conquering the world via boardgames!

Who told you That? I'm totaly not calling my government or something, because you totaly didn't find out about the super secret mindcontroll device - wich is true.

Also: Don't tell ... - Wait. I'm not into sports - Tell them about Twilight Impreium. Chances are, that could be the end of all comercial sports events.

While I'm still rooting for the Seahawks tomorrow, this article did make me like the Packers a little more. The idea of a bunch of 6'5, 300+ lbs guys sitting around a table playing a board game and getting pissed off due to a lack of "wool" made me laugh.

Someone send these guys a box of Arkham Horror. Then they'll see what a real board game looks like

They already did! Just didn't have a lot of room in this post to squeeze it in.

From the source article:

"The Packers? embrace of the game become such a phenomenon that the store put a sign up that said ?Be cool like Justin Perillo, play Catan!? The Packer players quickly noticed it. ?We thought it was hilarious,? Linsley said."
