The Sneakiness Awards


If you have never considered what would happen if the infamous Carmen SanDiego and the elusive [Where's] Waldo got together and had a child, now is the time . . .


In an award ceremony, Carmen and Waldo's little girl would come in first place. Cleverly disguised Carmen would closely follow her daughter in second, and the crafty but wildly unfashionable Waldo would take third.

The honorable mention, however, would definitely be awarded to the Spanish butler in Mr. Deeds, Emilio.


"I fear you are underestimating the sneakiness, sir." --Emilio




Emilio's part in the Adam Sandler film, Mr. Deeds, is one of the only redemptive parts of that movie. I am sick of Adam Sandler. Sure, his Hanaka song is hoot to hear once or twice over the Holidays, but his films are excruciatingly annoying. He plays the exact same character in all of them:

-You Don't Mess with the Zohan
-Click
-The Longest Yard
-50 First Dates
-Anger Management
-Mr. Deeds
-Little Nicky
-Big Daddy
-Waterboy
-The Wedding Singer
-Happy Gilmore
-Billy Madison

All the main characters were identical. And stupid. Spanglish and Reign Over Me arguably portray characters with some depth, but would inevitably lose in a debate.

Case in point:

    I hate Adam Sandler too. Don't think I can think of one movie with him that I like.

    Why are some people SO annoying to others. Yet Adam is probably thought to be hilarious by a large percentage of the American population.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Werewolves: Variation on Mafia, the Group Game

I was first introduced to Mafia in 1995 at a Family Home Evening activity. With only 6-players in our family, we selected one Narrator, two Mafia gangsters (murder one person/night), one Detective (ask the narrator about the identity of one person/round), and sometimes we played with a Guardian Angel (who can save one person/round); everyone else were innocent citizens. THE WEREWOLVES OF MILLERS HOLLOW Review and Detailed Explanation Werewolves is essentially the same game. I played it on Monday night for an FHE activity as well. We played 2 games with 10 and 11 players respectively. Each game lasted about 10-20 minutes. IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN! I can totally see my immediate family enjoying some of the new rules associated with Werewolves . Here is a list of differences between my family's version of Mafia and the way we played it last night. Three main differences 1. New Characters 2. Voting is performed by pointing. (Much more efficient.) 3. The game is pla...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist. I've got no funk. And I’m pretty crossed up about it. In my personal quest to discover the funk I came across this bit featuring Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh. Old Gregg observed that some groups have it for a time, and when they do, they produce timeless hits. He identified that special  something as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Disclaimer: This is weird. Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're like a breadstick. You got no rhythm. Howard: Yeah, well I've heard all this sort of stuff before thank you. Old Gregg: Well maybe I could help you. I got the funk. Howard: Yea...
