LET'S GO HIKING IN IRAN

I'm a big fan of some podcasts and one of my favorites is Chris Hardwicke's "The Nerdist", which is an hour long weekly free form discussion of all things comedic and nerdy with cool guests like Bill Maher, Alison Brie, Donald Glover and Craig Ferguson just to name a few. On a recent podcast, they discussed one of those pointless made up pop culture games like the infamous "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" and I thought I'd share it here on my blog and see if anyone had any suggestions.

Credited as the invention of comic actors John Hodgman and Justin Long--the stars of the iconic Apple commercials--it is known simply as "The Poop Game". The object is to think of as many real movie titles as possible that might also be synonyms for pooping. As juvenile and asinine as it sounds, it is actually a lot of fun! What is amazing is how many movies might actually be a euphemism for shitting, pooping or copping a squat. Some of my favorites (keep in mind these are all actual movies):

The Brown Bunny
The Green Mile
Operation Dumbo Drop
There Will Be Blood
Shaft
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Cool Runnings
A River Runs Through It

Turns out the possibilities are endless! Got some suggestions? Send them to me and I'll publish them...if you're not too ashamed.

Peace.
