Day 2 Highlanders 7 con 20 July 2024 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, Birmingham

Fan Meet with Richard:

If he's a betting man there will be Rebus 2 (with a wink)

Hasn't read more than 4.5 books (of OL) couldn't get through the Gathering in Fiery Cross

Everyone's really sad about it ending

Doesn't like the stickers chosen for the Rebus books but the author did so he was outvoted

Charles & David Q&A

As part of training for the roles, they were taught them how to stand and sit using the "Alexander Technique" Demonstrating the "Alexander Technique" of how to stand up straight 18th-century style 👇

Question: if you could play another character who would it be: David - BJR; Charles - didn't know - fusion of LJG and Jamie

What won't you miss after OL ends - David travel; Charles didn't answer the question but said he'll miss his friends in Glasgow

Who would you go to a convention to see - Charles Eddie Vedder & Robin Kimmerer (author); David couldn't name anyone

Richard, Charles and Jamie Roy play Magic the Gathering (red: a card game) together almost every day when not working

When asked about a LJG series, David said if people want it he'd be up for it and people need to speak up about it

David and Charles singing O Canada 👍

Charles can walk on his hands - went back and forth 3x

Richard & Sophie Q&A

What song would describe your relationship on the show: Sophie - Lover (Richard joked Tolerater)

What role would you like to play: Sophie - Black Swan; Richard - Wolverine or Iron Man

Richard & Sam made different animal noises each take during the birthing scene

Hardest scene they had to film: Sophie - physically the ones with the horses; Richard - one where Brianna tells Roger Jemmy might not be his

If you could take a character ahead in time to see something - Sophie BJR to see Frank; Richard Jamie Fraser into the modern world - Richard loves Sam's reactions to modern things

What are you binge watching? Sophie - The Bear; Richard - Queen of the South and BBT

Sophie spoiler: Joey and I were in a tent (Richard adds "in the 80s")

Who would you go to a convention to see? Richard - BBT, Peaky Blinders: Sophie - Friends

They don't really get recognized in the UK but yes in the US "people in England don't really watch Outlander" (Sophie) - when they started in S2/3 it wasn't really "present", especially in Scotland.

Taken anything from set? Sophie very tempted to take the pearls but hasn't taken anything yet; Richard not yet either (made a joke about the musket balls and Lallybroch in the 80s trying not to spoil anything)

What song represents your character - Sophie "Girl on Fire" because she powers through things

Ed Speleers & Steven Cree

Favourite role so far - Jack Crusher (Ed)

Cree - best part of Outlander is the conventions

Favourite scene was when Bonnet kidnaps Brianna and they explain how he became what he is

Ed read for LJG and they came back to him the next year with Bonnett

Cree auditioned for Dougal (who's the guy who raised $250K for a film then never made the film? - ouch!!). Then they cast Sam and had to make Dougal age appropriate

What era would you time travel to: Ed - 60s: Steven - his early 20s

Sam created MPC and whisky "unlike the guy who embezzled $250K" (ouch again!! Cree used the word "embezzled")

Cree to Sean - how does it feel to be a millionaire? Sean - pass me your phone I'll call Sam and ask him

Cree was offered roles in Bridgerton 1 & 2 and said no after he read the scripts

Cree went on for 5 minutes about how Claire brought Jamie back to life in Monsters & Heroes - it was hilarious

Seems that the 2 of them (Cree and Ed) go way back and are good friends (Ed said Cree was the most excited when he landed the star trek role. They wouldn't ever have crossed paths on OL. They know each other's families too.)

Caitriona

Funniest lines she couldn't get through - where she asks BPC if the bite was from a monkey and when Ian offers to go looking for Jamie and Claire says "but you don't have a leg"

Prefers to be called Caitriona

They talked about the ending of the books and someone yelled "Sam knows" then she said Sam THINKS he knows

Will be odd knowing they're not going back to Scotland when they finish filming. Couldn't say if they're staying but her husband is from Scotland and her in-laws live there so they will be there in some capacity

Costumes in S8 are her favourite since S2 Paris

Thanked everyone and said how much doing the show has meant to her

Asked if she and Tony share the same musical taste. She thought they said Sam and Steve said "no, your real husband" (she does with Tony, "definitely not" with Sam)

To prepare for Claire & Frank since they had a history, she and Tobias wrote each other letters. Tobias would redact his because he was in MI6. They didn't do anything to prepare for Claire & BJR because she didn't know him

During the rapid-fire someone asked "Sam's whisky or Graham's bourbon". She said Sam's whisky but hasn't tried the bourbon (she doesn't really like bourbon it's too sweet)

crutchie - akb vs matthew duckett !!!!

alternatively titled - cast disabled people jesus christ

listen i am having so many thoughts and feelings about crutchie and at the risk of annoying the fuck out of my partner i am putting them on here instead!

prefacing this by saying:

i do not speak for all cripples

matthew’s duckett was my first real introduction to crutch and yes i am probably biased because of it (because matthew was an absolute sweetie when i met him)

i do not actually hate AKB as much as i dislike his crutchie

★

i think the main problem i have with his crutchie (and i understand that it is not entirely his fault at all!!!!) is that it’s so sanitised in so many ways. it is so of its time and not really in a good way, it came about in a period where representation wasn’t a big focus and i very much understand that, but i also hate it.

it’s so easy for disabled characters to fall into this weird ,sanitised, almost infantilising position, where their struggles are shown (abuse from the delanceys that was directly because of his disability, the fact he’s more likely to be put in the refuge because he’s seen as ‘weak’), but they’re bound by this kind of happy-go-lucky persona where they don’t show any real anger or upset. it’s fuelled by the abled need to see disabled characters as some sort of inspiration porn. “he’s crippled but look how happy he is despite that!!!!!! if he can do it i can too!!” he has this air of innocence and can-do-no-wrong that kinda falls a little flat compared to all his friends of the same age, and whilst this wouldn’t be a problem in itself, it fits a repeating pattern of the innocent, docile physically disabled person that is shown so much.

i loved matthew’s crutchie so much because he was so much more than that. he was happy, he was kind and an big laugh, but he didn’t shy away from being truly angry or scared (in the finale when he is brought back and cuffs snyder) and he was still a bit of a dick, he felt a lot more like he truly belonged. one of my favourite examples is at the start of the show the first time we see katherine, he helps one of the boys (i can’t remember which one) steal something from darcy and keeps it on him through the rest of the show. he’s as playful and annoying as the rest of them, shooting paper balls at them with his slingshot (especially during the finale, i love him so much for that). he has an attitude. he has the energy of a boy who was raised on the streets and knows what the fuck is what.

and thats what i think changes him the most for me. it’s all the same script (?) but it’s all so different when you think about how smart crutch actually is. i think the biggest change is my idea of him specifically when he’s being so nice to weasel at the beginning, when all the boys are being annoying and dicks, crutchie is so sweet. i don’t believe he’s doing that because he’s just such a nice guy who can look past weisel and the delancey’s being assholes to them, i think he realised quickly how to play the game. he’s gonna get sympathy, he knows that, and he knows if he acts all innocent and is overly kind, that they’ll somewhat pity him and he can use that to his advantage.

i hate being pitied by most people, i hate being looked at differently, like i’m almost helpless. but i also know how to use it to help myself, i know when i can play the poor little cripple card to my advantage. and i fully believe crutch does the same.

edited to add because i forgot to add this entire section in sorry!!

when i say sanitised i also mean literally. as in they made him cleaner. specifically in the finale again when he’s brought back from the refuge, broadway crutch looks way too clean. he’s a little bashed up but he’s not dirty. he doesn’t look like he’s been battered and then subjected to awful conditions. it takes away the impact of his time at the refuge. when he got back in the uk production they actively were disgusted by how much he smelled, because he’d just got out of a place where he couldn’t look after himself for a multitude of reasons. he suffered in there, mentally and physically, and in more ways than one. he was not given nice clean clothes and a pat on the back, he was taken out and put right back into the mess without much time to check himself over, without any time to process or heal.

i just think it has a much bigger impact when you can see, from his actual appearance and the other guys’ reactions, how much he actually struggled in there. they were glad to have him back of course, but it really drove home the point of how badly it affected him.

and once again in that scene, you could see the fear on his face and the anger when he faced snyder and when he made a move at him. he was fucking scared of the man that had subjected him to all of that. even when he was being a little goofy and put on the hat to handcuff him, there was still that fear, and there was evidence to why.

(end of edit)

but like i said, i don’t think it is entirely akb’s fault or his intention, he almost definitely wasn’t aware of the way it came off and how it perpetuates stereotypes. but it’s just another reason why giving disabled roles to disabled people is so important. plus we know how to use mobility aids properly

where r u from that u call billiards snooker? ive just never heard anything other than billiards and pool

you've activated my "info dump about snooker" trap card, I'm afraid

so pool and snooker are both cue sports that can both generally be called "billiards". They are different games, however, with separate tournaments, different rules, different balls, different sized tables, and different techniques used.

Pool, which is more common in the US, is played with larger, numbered balls. There are several different variations of pool played with slightly different rules but generally, the goal is to pot the numbered balls in a specific order based on number.

Snooker is popular in the UK, China, Singapore, India and Thailand (just to name a few countries). The balls are coloured but not numbered. There are 15 red balls, and one each of yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black (also the white cue ball), which you have to pot in a particular order to score points. The table is also larger than in pool (thus necessitating players to lay themselves over it sometimes).

My favourite difference between pool and snooker is that you can't really just switch between the two nilly-willy. The cueing techniques are different enough that pro-snooker players cannot just enter pool tournaments and expect to win (they have tried) and vice-versa. The techniques are different because the size of the table and balls are different. Snooker tables are larger and require a different cue action to hit balls with the cue ball from further away. Pool, on the other hand, seems to have a lot of techniques for tricky little close-range shots.

Sorry, I went on a bit there...I genuinely love being asked about snooker. Anyway, my point is, I went with a AFTG snooker AU because snooker is the one I'm familiar with. Also because snooker is the one with the tense, repressed vibes (even though it's been largely a shady gambling game throughout history) and makes players dress up all formal, which I just find amusing. I just think the shadiness of snooker fits well with the criminal aspects of AFTG.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the main reason it’s snooker and not pool is because that thing where they bend over the table and lift up a leg like that is way more common in snooker (due to the size of the table) than pool. I’ve not watched much pool but generally people don’t lean that far over the table and it’s more common to see players to sort of half-sit on the table to make a shot than bend over

Happy Birthday Gregory Edward “Greg” Hemphill born 14th December 1969 in Glasgow.

I think the majority of us will know who Greg is, one half of the successful partnership with partner, Ford Kiernan that is Still Game.

The family left Scotland when Greg was twelve years old, and he spent much of his childhood in Montreal, Canada. Greg returned home to study at Glasgow University, in the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies, graduating MA in 1992.

Greg made his acting debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1990. His work includes roles in God Plus Support in the Theatre and Only an Excuse. He is a regular on the comedy circuit. He also ventured into radio as the original presenter of football show, Off the Ball on BBC Radio Scotland and The Eddie Mair Show. As well as writing for Still Game and Chewin The Fat he has written for Channel 4 programme Space Cadets, BBC’s Pulp Video and The Ferguson Theory.

Still Game has transferred successfully onto the big stage and has sold out countless times at The Hydro. The third and final run of the shows Still Game: The Final Farewell was officially announced on 1st November 2018. The ninth and final series of Still Game was screened in 2019 The show won an ‘Outstanding Contribution’ TV award at Scottish Baftas that year.

Away from his work Greg is a bit of a card shark, he plays in competitions, he has won over thirty thousand dollars in competitions and was third in the Scottish Championships in 2002

Greg has been kind of quiet of late, but the good news is he returns to our screens on Hogmanay with a new sketch show. The show is set to bring up all the biggest talking points of this year – from COP26 to the wild swimming phenomenon. The show titled “Queen of the New Year” will star Greg and Robert Florence along with Barbara Rafferty, Clive Russell, Gayle Telfer Stevens, Louise McCarthy, John Gordon Sinclair and Juliet Cadzow, so some familiar faces from Still Game and Burnistoun.

Greg is married to Balamory star Julie Wilson Nimmo, 46, they announced they are to their own production company launch Blue Haven Productions Limited. The latest from Greg and Julie who live in the West End of Glasgow, is they will be teaming up who live in the West End, are appearing together in Olga da Polga, the first-ever television adaptation of Paddington creator Michael Bond’s beloved books. The new 13-part, live-action and animation series is produced by Glasgow-based production company Marakids, and it has been made with the full support of the Bond family.

Greg and Julie have been married since 1999, they met while both were working on the 90s sketch show Pulp Video. Greg says of them;

“We met on sketch shows, and we always laughed a lot. We still do. There are lots of laughs, lots of carry on when we work together.”

Greg and his Still Game sidekick Ford Kiernan launched a whisky, named after their characters Jack and Vioctor two or three years back, and the knobs at Jack Daniels objected after the pair later applied to register the name as a trademark for whisky and other drink-related services. The matter ended up going to an arbitrator. The Tennessee-based company claimed the drink, named after Still Game’s two main characters, could confuse customers and make them think they were endorsing the Scotch blend.

The firm argued the name could allow the Scottish whisky to cash in on the recognition of the well-known brand.

Hemphill, who plays the character Victor, provided evidence during the dispute while managing director Justin Welch provided evidence for Jack Daniel’s.

Hemphill said Still Game was a popular show across the UK, particularly in Scotland, arguing that “Jack and Victor” has become synonymous with the BBC programme.

It was a great triumph for the small guy versus golliath, Jack Daniel’s was ordered to pay £3,200 to Jack and Victor Limited, the company used to market the whisky earlier this year.

Boston Bears Series: Rugby Explained

I'm gonna preface this by saying I'm not an expert and this isn't everything explained, but if you were to watch a match after reading it you will probably understand it a bit better! (and the world cup starting this week is the best time to do so!) if you have any questions drop me an ask or message and I'll get my rugby-playing brother to answer them!

Firstly I am aware there is a professional rugby league in the USA, however, because Rugby is a much smaller sport in the US compared to the UK, I have modelled this series on how to UK rugby premiership operates!

There are 15 players on the pitch each with different positions, which are noted by their numbers (rugby players don’t have personal numbers like hockey or soccer). Players 1-8 are in the scrum also known as forwards, 9 is the scrum half. Players 10 - 15 are the backs.

 

Points:

Try = 5 points

Conversion = 2 points (the kick for the posts immediately after a try, position of the kick decided by where the try was scored so you'll see players trying to score as close the posts as possible)

Penalty Kick = 3 points

Penalty Try = 7 points (awarded when foul play prevented a try from being scored)

Aim of the game:

Getting the ball from one end of the pitch to the other to score a try (like a touchdown but the player has to be in contact with the ball when they put it down)

The ball if passed, has to be passed backwards, otherwise it's a forwards pass and a penalty is given to the opposite team. The ball can only travel forward if kicked, often done to gain territory but the ball is then in the hands of the opposition. If the ball is knocked forward by a hand or any part of the body it is called a knock on and that is a foul and a penalty is awarded to the other team (or a yellow card is given if it was deliberate) 

A tackle is performed to prevent the forward movement of the team on the offence. Tackles must be made below the shoulders, otherwise it is a high tackle which can result in a yellow or red card depending on the degree of danger. Players cannot be tackled when in the air to catch a ball. Tip tackles are also not allowed due to their danger, the tackled player cannot go past the horizontal. 

After a tackle it is then a ruck. This is when the two teams fight for possession of the ball. Players from both teams enter the ruck to gain possession, the offensive team will have players protecting the ball, while another player retrieves it from the tackled player. The player who performed the tackle must roll away before engaging in a ruck, other players on the defending team can gain possession by grabbing the ball or forcing the tackled player to forfeit a penalty (forcing the player to hold onto the ball). If the defending team gain possession they have 'turned it over'. Any player fighting for the ball must have all their body weight on their feet, otherwise they are off their feet and a penalty is given. A ruck is the most confusing part of rugby. 

After a penalty is given the team who is awarded the penalty have multiple options on how they can take it:

A kick to the posts - usually done to guarantee points on the scoreboard and if they are in range of the opposition's posts. The position/angle of the kick depends on where the penalty was conceded. 

A free kick - either done as a quick tap of the ball (sometimes done as a quick start to prevent the other team resetting), or a kick to the touch line which results in a line out with the throw in being awarded to the same team who was awarded the penalty. 

A Scrum (as seen poorly executed in FRIENDS!) - This involves the 8 scrum players from each team (usually the largest players on the team) they bind together into a pack and push against the opposite teams scrum, the scrum-half of the team awarded the penalty puts the ball into the scrum and the two teams fight for possession, the hooker of each time hooking the ball back with their foot. Scrums can cause as many penalties as they resolve as each team is trying to force the other to collapse it or turn it. 

A line out - is when the ball goes into touch (out of bounds). The two teams form a line each with a player throwing a ball between those two lines. The team throwing the ball in while have decided on a call which decides if they’re throwing the ball to the front, middle or back of the line, and where in the line up the player is getting lifted to catch the ball. The opposition will also try to anticipate where the ball is being thrown and try and catch it themselves, or they will prepare for a maul.

A maul typically occurs after a line out and its similar to a scrum in that its a pack of players protecting the ball and using their weight to drive forward towards the try line, while the other players will be trying to push them back. 

Yellow cards vs Red Card

Yellow cards send players off the pitch for 10 minutes (to the sin bin)

Red cards sent players off for the rest of the match (relatively rare, usually for dangerous play)

The League

The league works by each team playing each other twice, once at home and once away. The outcome of the match determines how many points the team win.

Win = 4 points

Draw= 2 points

Loss = 0 points

Bonus point win = when a team wins with 4 or more tries

Bonus point loss= when a team loses within 7 points of the winning team

The 4 teams with the most teams at the end of the regular season enter the playoffs. The 1st team plays the 4th, the 2nd plays the 3rd. Whoever wins those matches goes to play the final (usually played at Twickenham (England's stadium) but in this series, it will be played by whoever had the most points)

Okay so thats kinda the basics! I'm not an expert but I've tried to explain it as best as I can without making it too complicated, there is a lot more too rugby but this is what you see in every match! The best way to learn is to just watch a game, they're only 80 minutes in total so a relatively quick watch (and the injuries are very rarely very bad! so if you worried about that don't be! A lot of the rules in rugby are to protect the players!)

Like I've said though if you have any questions let me know and enjoy the series and the World Cup!

Because ghost game has grabbed my partner and I by the balls I'm doing full Digimon gifts this year for their birthday

So far I've picked up the illustrator competition booster pack of cards, the keramon odetama, and I've picked out a nice shirt or two on red bubble that I'll pick up once I get paid

I'm still looking for jellymon/jellymon line shit

I'm also looking for keramon line shit

I might get us both a tgc starter deck so we can learn to play. And I've pinned down a couple of sites where I've found a keramon/diaboromon digivolving spirits models but I don't know if this one is legit off AliExpress (the vendor has good review and says it's not knock off but... I am still very heckin unsure) if anyone knows the best places to look for UK delivery within a month please HMU!

Super Soccer (SNES)

Developed/Published by: Human Entertainment / Nintendo Released: 13/12/1991 Completed: n/a Completion: Won a few matches in exhibition and then tournament, but didn’t keep going for reasons I’ll explain.

There’s an international football tournament on, which means that, as usual, I want to play a football game so I can imagine that Scottish people could ever be good at football. As I didn’t have anything particular to play in mind I took a look for what was immediately accessible and fell upon Super Soccer, the SNES’s first footy game, and one which has some nostalgia for me.

An unusual sort of nostalgia, really, because I won’t ever have played it at the time. I mostly remember this as being one of the early hyped titles of the system in the UK. It wasn’t a launch title–I believe that the system launched with Super Mario World as the pack in and just F-Zero and Super Tennis on offer—but had to have come out pretty sharpish (Wikipedia actually lists it as releasing on the same day in the UK as the system, which feels wrong to me). Using mode 7 to create a 3D effect at a time when the most “3D” a football game would have felt was the three-quarters side-on view seen first in Atari’s Basketball (and when most people would consider top-down titles like Kick Off superior anyway) it really looked like a huge step up to me at the time, and I remember pouring over the screenshots in TOTAL! (my Nintendo magazine of choice) with this image sticking out in my mind, featuring the TOTAL! writers cartoony personas:

Even at the time though, I remember thinking… wasn’t the game going to be much harder if you’re running towards the screen?

Yes, Super Soccer has the exact problem that a small child in the early 90s could foresee, and a few others too. But let’s not get too negative too quickly, because in its way, Super Soccer plays a decent game of football. Er… sort of. You’ve got the ability to target a pass (and change who you target), do a low pass/shot, and a high shot when you’ve got the ball. When you don’t, you can do the traditional sliding tackle, but also the more unusual “shoulder barge” to knock your opponent away from the ball. This is generally considered by players a bit of a liberty that Super Soccer is taking with the rules of association football, but I have to say it functionally doesn’t work any different from non-sliding tackles you generally get in other games, except that the punishment is a bit reversed. In most games, sliding tackles are the dangerous ones, likely to end up in a yellow or a red card, here your shoulder barge does seem to be implied to be more of a rugby tackle and you can easily end up with a red immediately off them, which generally seems to come if you do it from behind (but it might also be totally random–I ended up with a game with 4 players being sent off, so I can’t really be sure.) There’s a bit of risk/reward, let’s say.

Once you get used to the controls–and if you’re playing in the direction where you can see the goal–this is… fine! The most major issue really is that there’s no indication of which player you’re actually controlling, so in particular the targeted pass seems basically useless because it’s got that thing where you pass, but you’re moving in a direction, so the guy you’re passing to you switch to control and they… run away from the ball. In general though  the ball sticks to your player so you can rely on careful low passes and dodging around to try and keep possession, and when defending just hope for the best. Goals aren’t effortless, but really only because it’s hard to get into position for them; if you can basically line yourself up just inside the goal posts on either side you’ll almost certainly score, which makes them a bit underwhelming. Or impossible, if you’re running towards the screen, because the goal doesn’t even come on screen until you’re practically running the ball into the keeper’s hands.

This would be a perfectly fine knock-around footy game–and I bet it was for anyone who had two controllers and at least one mate–but for the fact that it’s so bare-bones. The first huge problem, of course, is that you can’t play Scotland in it, which immediately docks it half the score it would get if I gave out scores. You could, like… play Italy or something and just pretend they’re Scotland, I guess. The second problem is that the tournament mode is just a slog through every team in the game from the worst to the best–not really a tournament at all.

I was sad to not be offered a group stage and knockout rounds, but it’s something I could live with bar one other aspect of the tournament mode: You’re locked to 5 minute halves, and the game stops the clock regularly (you know, unlike actual football) meaning that the average tournament game you’ll play will take upwards of 15 minutes. I looked up a longplay on YouTube and the poor guy had to play over three and a half hours!

It’s a bit strange considering exhibition mode lets you choose halves of 1 to 99(!) minutes long, and I suppose the question that might be raised in people’s minds might be “well, if the game is good, does it matter how long the halves are?”

It’s weird, right? It feels like it shouldn’t, but pacing is everything. Football is all about that hunger for a goal or that desperate defense, and without a sensible time limit in either direction tedium starts to set in. The time limit in a football game is like the health bar of a boss. It doesn’t matter if it’s fun to dodge their attacks or wail on them; the longer it takes, the worse it feels, even if you’re just going to do the same thing to the next enemy.

(It’s worth noting that the official greatest game of all time, Sensible Soccer, limits halves to 90 seconds.)

It’s made worse here really by the fact that half the time you’re playing facing the screen, meaning you generally get 5 minutes to try and score enough that the next five you’re just clinging on trying to defend. It’s like the game was designed to feature the kind of boring fucking football that ruins international tournaments. “Score one lads, then settle in.”

All that said with 90 second halves I’d probably have played this through. There’s a very funny wee twist at the end where the ref steals the trophy and forces you to play the ultimate Nintendo team to truly become world champions, but it’s hardly worth getting there for it as it is.

Will I ever play it again? I did save my mid-tournament playthough but this is one best left in memory.

Final Thought: There are some interesting… well, mildly interesting changes between the original “Super Formation Soccer” release from Human in Japan and the global release from Nintendo, including slightly changing the player sprites which barely feels worth the effort, but there must have been some reason???

Nope! I can’t speak for other parts of the world but apparently UK and American bingo are pretty different, which is weird because their target audiences seem to be identical. In the US you get 75 balls and 5x5 cards with each column containing random numbers, which when called include the letter: B1-B15, I16-I30, N31-N45, G46-60, and O61-75, always with a free space in the center. BINGO can be won horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or in some games by getting all four corners.

I’ll have to let someone from the UK explain their version because I have no idea how you’re supposed to play this:

Bingo callers in Britain have nicknames for the numbers 1-90 to liven up the game with rhyming slang and ancient memes
