Feel the nausea creep into every fiber of your being as the bus driver, busily devouring an onion and mustard sandwich, accelerates to warp speed! Hear the passengers screaming as the bus weaves in and out of traffic at 93 miles per hour! Gasp in amazement as fellow commuters try to avoid the unpredictable behemoth!</p> <p>Slowly exale as the first stop approaches, glancing around for a sympathetic equally-terrified passenger.

Thrill over discarded prosthetic limbs at the local Orthopedist's office, try out the old hearing aids in the Beltone dumpster and garner presents for the entire family behind the Pic-N-Save store.</p> <p>You will be stymied by Boss Padlocks; can you defeat the Bosses by removing the dumpster lid at the hinge? Watch out for the evil Night Watchman, or you may suffer damage points from Pepper Spray or Nightstick. If that happens, you will lose time and possibly have to sit out the round. </p> <p>Booby traps abound, set up by Boss Owners. Thumb tacks are difficult to see at night and will ruin bicycle tires. Are you good enough to do roadside repairs? Gain a power up if you use street light illumination instead of your valuable flashlight energy .. unless it brings you to the attention of one of the level Bosses!</p> <p>Boss Pothole, Boss Cop and Boss Wigger present unique challenges; be particularly wary of the dreaded Wigger as they will slow you with incessant jabber. The only way to defeat the dreaded Wigger Boss is a handful of flashlight batteries. Boss Cop will take valuable time by parking you on the curb, where he will examine all of your treasure and invite ridicule from passing Trashmonger rivals. Worse, that wallet you found an hour ago could very well become a 'Go To Jail Free' card.</p> <p>Boss Pothole presents a logistical nightmare, rearranging your body parts and dumping your loot. Recover quickly or Rival Trashmongers will seize your treasure. </p> <p>Keep up your energy by visiting the local supermarket and dumpster diving for old fruit and vegetables; get a power up at Dunkin' Donut dumpster! Avoid McDonald's dumpsters; the grease will cause your butt to expand, affecting your balance, stability and social life.</p> <p>Remember: You have to make it back home before daylight! </p> <p>(Not recommended for individuals with enhanced sensory functions, or those prone to saddle sores. Must be over 30 to play. Watch for Trashmonger Tewwww coming to stores soon.) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3274#post-29795 Sun, 18 May 2008 16:55:00 +0000 Bobby 29795@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Aww shucks (scuffing toes) ... all the credit goes to The Magnificent Pretzel for the inspiration.

I'm almost afraid to even attempt a description of that one. Well, maybe not.....</p> <p>BROWN-NOSER 2.....</p> <p>Ever dream of kissing butt on your way up the corporate ladder? Well, you may be flipping burgers for a living in real life, but in this game you can be brown-nosing your way to the top in no time at all! (Please Note: Due to health department regulations, it is recommended that if you ARE flipping burgers for a living, you do NOT brown-nose on the job).</p> <p>I don't want to spoil all the surprises in this game, as it is made to be a "learn-as-you-go" type. However, I WILL clue you in on a few of the power-ups:</p> <p>"YES-MAN" power-up.....With this special power, you will be unable to say "No" to anyone who is your superior. This will increase your chances of quick promotion.</p> <p>"DATE THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER" power-up.....With this power, your boss's daughter will find you irresistible, thus enabling you to date her and show your boss what a great guy you are. Tip: The uglier the boss's daughter, the more promotional ability this power-up has.</p> <p>"GETTING HOSED" power-up.....This power enables you to wash the boss's car every day for a month. Every time your boss sees his sparkling, showroom-looking vehicle, he'll smile and think about what a kiss-up you are! Please note: If this power is used on a convertible, you will lose your job and the game will end.</p> <p>"STARBUX" power-up.....This rare power will guarantee that you arrive at work before your boss so that you may greet him when he arrives with a steaming cup of hot coffee. </p> <p>Sound exciting? We didn't think so either. But get your kids playing this game, and by the time they enter the job market, they will have all the skills needed to become a World Class Brown-Noser!</p> <p>BROWN-NOSER 2.....From the same people who brought you "UNEMPLOYMENT LINE FOLLIES", "SWEEPING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP" and that classic hit, "Q-bicleBert".</p> <p>(Warning: The makers of this game cannot be held responsible for excessive use of toilet tissue by players.) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3274#post-29715 Sun, 18 May 2008 01:49:39 +0000 robm 29715@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>What a mind you have Bobby.

You have a choice of factory installations for your neighborhood: Urban Steel and Iron, Yeee Ha Fertilizer, Oh Darn Fireworks and Yippie Skip Dog Food. Now you are ready to carve out homeless dwellings beneath noisy overpasses and decorate street corners with colorful graffiti. Let your imagination run wild!</p> <p>Use reclaimed, molded lumber and drywall, cleverly hidden beneath a layer of lead paint. Not even Superman could see it, then!</p> <p>Bribe building inspectors to ignore your faulty electrical wiring, then print your own Certificate of Compliance!</p> <p>OOPS! Forget to connect the plumbing to city lines? No problem! It's a slum! Besides, you will be renting each house to four families, surely one of them has a pipe wrench. </p> <p>Forget to install bulbs in the street lights? Hey, you're doing your part for the ecology!</p> <p>Redirect the nearby river to your new golf course development. What do the Slum City residents need water for, anyway? They can't afford the bills! You never did understand the concept of 'urban park,' anyway. It's an oxymoron, like 'government intelligence' right?</p> <p>Speaking of park, don't forget to remove all the trees in your development before you name the streets after them, or before you know it the kids will be hanging tire swings and building tree houses. Lose your slum image and lose the game. </p> <p>(Not recommended for honest, sentient do-gooders) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3274#post-29446 Wed, 14 May 2008 21:59:57 +0000 creamypretzel 29446@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>GRAND THEFT OTTER.....</p> <p>It's after midnight.

Past the concession stands, around the dolphin exhibit, across the catwalk above the killer whales......There it is! You creep up slowly....careful....careful.....NOW!!!!!</p> <p>Man, those Otters can run! But they're no match for you, when you play this exciting new game from the same people who brought you Grand Theft Otto, Grand Theft Ottoman and Grand Theft Audio. It's GRAND THEFT OTTER!</p> <p>This surprisingly boring game comes with two modes:</p> <p>Regular Mode, for those nighttime adventures in Otter theft.</p> <p>Challenge Mode. This mode should only be played by experienced convicted felons, as your goal of stealing Otters will be attempted in BROAD DAYLIGHT while the park is open!</p> <p>The strategy in this game is to cause diversions that will take attention away from the Otter exhibit so that you can make off with a sack full of those water-lovin' goofballs.</p> <p>Strategies include:</p> <p>Screaming at the top of your lungs, "SHARK!...SHARK!...SHARK!" This always causes widespread panic among visitors who are too dumb to realize that a shark out of water is about as dangerous as, well, a shark out of water.</p> <p>Fake exploding dolphin. Toss one of these babies into the nearest water tank and watch the fun begin!</p> <p>Surprise ASPCA Inspection. Turn the inspectors loose to close down all nearby attractions, leaving you alone with your victims.</p> <p>If you only buy ONE GAME this year, then skip this one!
