Double post. But a good one. This was posted about a year ago, but I just wasted two hours playing virtual Pictionary and had to make you all suffer the same fate.

Very fun.

I hadn't seen it before. This is outstanding.

A year ago? Sheesh, 80% of us weren't here then. Tangent: This insisted I download the latest Shockwave Player. When it completed (15+ mins later), the installer started automatically, and closed down all four open browser windows, without asking first -- including a post I was editing in another thread. How mo-fo rude can you get?! It reopened the isketch window -- but I couldn't even play until I reboot. So, hell, may as well continue browsing for now ... except they closed all my effing windows! Ijits.

anildash: what rules? "A good post to MetaFilter is something that meets the following criteria: most people haven't seen it before, there is something interesting about the content on the page, and it might warrant discussion from others." IMHO, a year-old post is worth re-posting, if it is still relevant/cool/fun/interesting/worthwhile. as dhartung said, 80% of us weren't here a year ago, and i certainly haven't gone through all the posts i've missed in the past two years.

Keep in mind that while 80% of us haven't seen this, you're probably pissing off the other 20%.
