Confused?
This is a video version of an infuriating game we made up where...
You take the name of a band of musician.
"The Bad Plus" for instance.
Then you use the last syllable of that band name as the first syllable of another band name.
"The Bad Plus" and "Plus/Minus" become "The Bad Plus/Minus."
Then you add another:
"The Bad Plus/Minus the Bear"
And sometimes shift the spelling, or remove articles like "the," or the a plural s. Which allows you to make:
"The Bad Plus/Minus the Barenaked ladytron..."
And on... and on...
The most frustrating part is that until you come up with a really esoteric syllable, it never ends. And even then you feel compelled to change the last one or else feel like you're dodging some kind of honest challenge.
But it's not an honest challenge. It's a worthless mind game. It's worse than Sudoku, and it's worse than a drill to the brain.
