I just finished watching "The Craft" on HBO, because there is little else one can do at four in the morning. Just a random observation: I had no idea the "light as a feather, stiff as a board" game originated from this movie. I remember playing it as a kid and it's just sorta strange to realize it wasn't something we made up ourselves (unlike the ( Read more... )

I guess I don't really think it originated with that movie. I'm fairly sure that it's something that's been around forever...a bit like "bloody mary"...but, I could be wrong...

I thought about that as well, but this is the only pop culture reference I've ever seen of it. Hmm, if only Sam and Dean Winchester were here to research this for us! ;)

Serious. It is the only pop culture reference I know of. I played it as kids too and when i first saw the Craft I was surprised/annoyed/something.

Hey, aren't you going to some strange and distant land sometime soon??

Yup! England in the fall (because the weather in Nebraska isn't cold enough; I'm a glutton for punishment.)

The Craft came out in what? 1995? I know I'd heard of it before then. Wikipedia supports me in this claim.

Obvs. If you'd clickied through, you'd find that the link doesn't mention the Craft at all. Also, imdb is a user compiled database, just as reliable as wikipedia.

As for the date of the craft, I was using my sleepy fuzzied brain to recall memories of elementary school to pinpoint the year. I was close :D

Did Wiki get rid of their lol-inducing "In Popular Culture" section? Sad! Anyway, I knew I could count on your google-fu to solve this mystery.
