| This is a great game despite the lack of graphics. |
I made this graphic so good I just had to post it. It made my wife laugh too. We were watching the movie Meet the Parents yesterday and Greg was saying grace and mentions the word Smörgåsbord. I looked it up just before dinner and was so impressed with it I set it as background. Then this morning I made this graphic to further impress my wife. Then I got the idea to review Meet The Parents for my IMDB profile. I will copy it here even though IMDB did not approve it yet.:
Meet The Parents on IMDB only got 7 stars; so in protest of that I wrote the 1st 2 sentences below. My IMDB profile page is here.: https://www.imdb.com/user/ur45931580/
Do not get me on another anti - anti semitic rant. I will restrain myself for now. This is one of my favorite husband and wife movies. The thing that stands out most about this movie and of which I have commented on my art blog is: the relationship between Greg and Pam's Dad is exactly how my dad and me would get along. For example one time my dad made me rake the leafs in our huge lawn. I did what my dad said as always when it came to yard work. I grabbed the rake and started to rake and the thing fell apart in my hands because the wood was so old and weak. Also my tennis racket broke when I was on the HIgh School Tennis team that I got a letter and numbers reward for. I asked my dad to let me borrow his old tennis rackets and I served with one and it broke, then while using the next one, it broke too, because they were both rotting old wood. My Dad took both incidents as a malicious act against him. Eventually my dad and I had a close brother like relationship, latter in life, those High School years were exactly like the movie here. No matter how hard I tried not to; I did everything I could to make my dad angry with me, mostly unintentionally. I do not condone Greg painting the cats tail at all, I would never do that to a animal. You have to feel bad for Greg no matter what he does in this movie when all he wants to do is marry the love of his life. I love the perplexed look on Pam's mom's face after Robert De Niro says they are out of Tom Collins mix. Too top it all off Robert De Niro even looks like my dad in this movie and when ever he had a party he would always serve Tom Collins. The fact that Pam takes Greg's side, no matter how much Robert De Niro tries to separate them for his own selfish desires; shows how they were meant to be husband and wife. Anyone that has had a hard time with their parents will love comparing this movie to that as a therapeutic thing. We should all look back on things and laugh and this movie encourages that.
Here is a graphic I made from images I found on Google; guarantied to make you hungry.:

Put these in the corner of your desktop on black background. It will appear to move around as you do your work on your computer. I like to think of it as play though.
