RED ALERT

[prog]

Plumpsack, Plumpsack,
Dances round the table
Plumpsack, Plumpsack,
He likes to fill his bag.

Plumpsack, Plumpsack,
He wants to steal your fingers.
He comes into your bedroom,
you'll know when he's been there.

Plumpsack, Plumpsack,
He's filled with children's fingers
He had to patch himself up
When scratched through by a nail.

Plumpsack, Plumpsack,
Dances through the blankets.
Plumpsack, Plumpsack,
He likes to fill his bag.

From an article titled "Do I Offend?":

Mr. Staupe is aware of the difficulties a game named Shit! might face in the US marketplace, but, he says, "I believe that it's not the name which decides about the success, it's the game itself that matters." Some folks don't care what the game is called. One comment on the Boardgamegeek claims "[Shit! is] not an ironic title, spot on in this case." Mr. Staupe is also behind the unfortunately named games Kunterbunt and Der Plumpsack Geht Um.

Scissor Man

Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Putting end to evil-doers' games
Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man
Maybe you are in his book of names
Maybe you are in his book of names

So be kind and helpful to your mother
Just think twice before you try to steal
When he cuts with sticky silver snippers
You may find the wounds will never heal

All self-made bad boys
If you refuse to believe he exist
You won't be frightened when you find out
You're on his list
You're on his list
You're on his list

So be good and never poison people
Just think twice before the deed is done
When you wake up guilty in the morning
You may find important pieces gone

(repeat chorus)

I copied a stanza of the above and dumped it into Google. The results?

One result: The City of Xebec's Demise.

WTF?
