One of history's most famous 16-gauge shotguns was known as “The Little Gun.” It was built by Parker Bros in 1889 and “was billed to Mr. D. W. Parker, then treasurer of the Parker Company.” In 1893, it went to Everel Harnden, the grandfather of the famous “godfather” of ruffed grouse hunting, William Hardnen Foster. Foster would shoot his first grouse on the wing with it at 12 years old in 1898 before he went on to write the iconic classic, New England Grouse Shooting, published in 1942.  For the most part, the 16-gauge probably garnered its popularity in the United States by pellet counts. Classic American manufacturers like Parker Bros, A.H. Fox, L.C. Smith, and others helped the gauge gain familiarity and popularity. The gauge peaked in American culture in the 1940s and 1950s when almost a quarter of all shotguns sold were 16-gauges. The 12-gauge accounted for just over 50 percent of shotguns sold at that time, according to author Layne Simpson of Shotguns & Shotgunning.

For thousands of years, humans have been making and playing what we know today as board games.  Sometimes the boards were drawn in the dirt or woven from cloth, however the essence of the modern day tabletop games most certainly have their roots in ancient times, spread far throughout the world.  This episode is about ancient games all the way up to the Milton Bradley and Parker Bros. days of glory. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/talkstupid2me)

There are many trains of thought on the Ouija Board aka Spirit Board. Some believe it's purely a toy (thanks Parker Bros), others think its a gateway to hell, while others, treat it as a tool and give it the utmost respect. In this episode, Kerrilynn discusses the truth behind it while Kristy asks some really thought-provoking questions that will shed some light on the mystery of the Spirit Board . As with all things, leave the tools to the professionals!

It’s the scariest Parker Bros. game ever made going up against a trio of supernatural tales from across the pond! Tonight Ouija: Origin of Evil tangles with Ghost Stories. Don’t forget to say “goodbye”…

Jace does a quick recap of the classic Rom Spaceknight series from Marvel. This was the series written by Bill Mantlo with the majority of the interior art done by Sal Buscema. The comic was based on the license Marvel obtained from Parker Bros. to create a comic based on the action figure that was the first ever such product from a company that was mostly known as a creator of board games at that time. Although the toy was mostly a failure based on some poor production decisions, Mantlo's approach, which involved fleshing out a tragic tale of the eponymous hero against the backdrop of a centuries old space war against vile enemies. created an iconic series that lasted for 75 issues and four annuals. Additionally Rom made many guest appearances in other Marvel comics throughout the 80's. Rom's never-ending war against his sworn enemy, the Dire Wraiths, had it's roots in classic science fiction, but it was Mantlo's reluctant hero, Rom, who really made the series shine. The mourning for his lost humanity, the price Rom had paid for his centuries old battle brought emotion and consequence to the series and its characters. As the threat of this surreptitious alien invasion grew, we saw other heroes from the Marvel universe pulled into the conflict which culminated in a fight for the very survival of the Earth itself. Guest appearances include among others, the Uncanny X-Men, Alpha Flight, Nick Fury and SHIELD as well as the Avengers. Filled with incredible visuals of many spaceknights beyond Rom himself, this is a great example of a classic bronze age title. For the comic fans of a certain generation, Rom remains a beloved character. The series stands the test of time and remains a wonderful read even now.   This spotlight was originally created for The Comic Source YouTube channel and we encourage you to go check it out on YouTube so you can see some of the amazing artwork that was done in this series.

5. listopadu 1935 začala americká společnost Parker Bros prodávat nejznámější deskovou hru všech dob - Monopoly. Podle společnosti je tvůrcem hry, ve které se snažíme přivést ostatní hráče k bankrotu, Charles Darrow. Autorství slavné deskovky je ale zamotanější. Prvopočátky hry Monopoly totiž sahají už do roku 1902.

WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN... Seriously. Do it. Do it now. Okay, sit down, you look ridiculous. This week on the podcast, we have a 1983 Parker Bros. game about looting ancient Egyptian ruler King Tut's tomb. The game is called TUTANKHAM, and is apparently so good, you won't have time to put the last "en" on the name before you must rush off to play it. Do we agree? More importantly, what stories has the mysterious ancient tomb left to tell?
