That person now must try to guess what they have drawn. There’s only one rule to follow – no words allowed! Once everyone has finished doodling, they pass their clipboard (board & clip) to the player on their left. On the blank side of your board, try to draw the best interpretation of the word or phrase on your card. One agreed upon, each player draws one card and looks at the word or phrase, keeping it secret from the other players. The included cards have four different colors on them and the group decides which should be the active color for the game. Each player receives a dry erase board, a clip and a pen. Scrawl is designed for four to eight players, and artistic skill is not needed. And even though we’ve taken them to their first R-Rated movie, this one is best left to the 17+ crowd as the box suggests (or even older). It’s one of those games you play after the kids go to bed. That got me to thinking about a game we had recently played by Big Potato Games / Bananagrams called Scrawl. Everyone agreed the study was correct, even if it seemed a little obvious.

According to the study, the box meant Christian was analytical, serious and orderly, while Kathie Lee and Hoda’s doodles said they were more interested in people and learning about others. They were discussing doodles and the results of a recent study that analyzed what people drew and predicted personalities based upon what they doodled the most.īoth Kathie Lee and Hoda drew some type of face, while Christian Slater drew a three-dimensional box with an open lid. Scrawl's final release is a combination of new material and re-recordings of Rough Trade/Simple Machines era material.A few days ago I was watching the 10 o’clock hour of NBC’s Today Show, which had guest host Christian Slater along with regulars Kathie Lee and Hoda. Produced by Gary Smith ( Throwing Muses, Pixies, The Chills, Walkabouts)įollowed by tours with the Afghan Whigs, Meat Puppets, Fugazi and My Bloody Valentine Mays performed live with the Afghan Whigs at the Reading Festival 1994 and, more recently, with the reunited Whigs at All Tomorrow's Parties I'll Be Your Mirror USA 2012. The recording was released as a B-side on the Afghan Whigs' Debonair single, and later appeared on a promotional CD The B-Sides/The Conversation and on the remastered ' Gentlemen' At 21. The Whigs also recorded a cover of "Ready" from Scrawl's He's Drunk with Mays sharing vocals with Greg Dulli. Marcy Mays appeared as lead singer on "My Curse" from the album Gentlemen by the Afghan Whigs. The band was then signed their first major label deal with Elektra, for whom they released two albums, Travel On, Rider, and Nature Film. It was engineered by Steve Albini (around the time he produced Nirvana), and released on the Simple Machines label. They recorded their next album, Velvet Hammer, in 1993. Their next release, a seven-track EP called Bloodsucker, was released on the Chicago-based Feel Good All Over label (then reissued on Simple Machines Records).ĭrummer O'Leary left the group in May 1992, and was replaced by Dana Marshall. filed for bankruptcy in 1990, the band placed a successful bid to purchase back their master recordings during an auction held during the label's Chapter 11 proceedings. The following year the band was signed to the ill-fated Rough Trade Records U.S., for whom they released two albums, He's Drunk (produced by Jim Rondinelli) and Smallmouth (produced by Gary Smith). Their first album, Plus, Also, Too, was self-produced (with Andy Izold) and released in 1987 on the local label No Other Records. Their first show, in the summer of 1985, was a 20-minute opening spot for the Meat Puppets. The founding members were Marcy Mays (lead vocals, guitar, songwriting), Sue Harshe (bass guitar, backing vocals, songwriting), and Carolyn O'Leary (drums).
