I love the Eurovision style voting for Game of the Year. But you guys need to do it properly. Go all in on it! Revealing the votes one by one going from your 1 point and finishing each juror's vote with their 12 points.
I want to quote Tim Minchin regarding the absurdity of "guilty pleasures". He was asked what his guilty pleasures were and didn't really know what to answer so asked what kind of things people usually answer and his response was:
Those are your guilty pleasures? That shows an incredibly low threshold for both guilt... and pleasure. I was thinking more like (...) cancelling your monthly payment to your sponsor child so you can afford to buy a second iPad (...) I just feel guilty because I know that that 13 dollars I spend most days on cabernet sauvignon probably could have been better spent buying some Somalian village a pump... But that's why I savor it. Nothing tastes as good as that sip of wine that you know could have inoculated an infant against tuberculosis
Malört is Swedish for Wormwood. And it's pronounced mal-ört (mahl-uhrt) not ma-lort
Absinth is indeed also made with Wormwood. Real absinth is just string booze. But back in the olden days some cheap copies used copper based coloring to get the green color and those were generally very bad for you and could cause all kinds of issues including hallucinations
Jersey is the biggest of the channel islands in the English channel (and a crown dependency). The shirt is indeed named after a shirt that fishermen on this island used to wear. And New Jersey is also named after this island.
