Marry, Shag, Banish – Damian Lewis
Characters Version

It’s game time! Growing up I loved watching 70’s/80’s game shows. Remember these catch phrases?

“Come on down!”
“Survey says…”
“No whammies, no whammies, no whammies…and STOP!”
“I’d like to buy a vowel.”

And I’m in heaven with the recent revivals of Match Game, Celebrity Family Feud, and To Tell the Truth. I even DVR old Match Game episodes from time to time to watch my favorite panelists Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly like I did when I watched reruns as a child.

If it’s a game, you can count me in! I often host Bunco round-robins, hold Whiz Spades tournaments, and throw Mexican Train Dominoes events.  I am no emcee–I have to be in on the action and playing.  Games are great fun, whether spending family time together or as an added bonus to your dinner party with friends. Even drinking games like Never Have I Ever and Marry, Shag, Kill are hysterical to play.

Which brings me to Marry, Shag, Kill (our version is Marry, Shag, Banish to an Island).

The Radleys Is Coming Soon: Here’s All We Know About Damian Lewis’ New Movie

“Your instincts are wrong. Animals rely on instincts for their daily survival, but we are not beasts. We are not lions or sharks or vultures. We are civilized, and civilization only works if instincts are suppressed. So do your bit for society and ignore those dark desires inside you.” – The Abstainer’s Handbook (second edition), p. 54

The lucky ones among us were able to see The Radleys at its World Premiere at Edinburgh International Film Festival on August 20. The good news is that the long wait will be over for the rest of us – and just in time for the Halloween! The movie’s distributor Lionsgate tweeted and invited us to meet The Radleys with a new official trailer along with a U.S. release date. The movie will be at select movie theaters, on digital and on demand on October 4. In the UK, The Radleys will be released in movie theaters and on Sky Cinema and NOW on October 18.

Well, I “met” The Radleys more than a year ago when we first found out that Damian would star in a supernatural black comedy adapted from Matt Haig’s Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller “The Radleys”. I listened to the audio book (read by Toby Leonard Moore aka Bryan Connerty from Billions!) first and then read the paperback.

Damian just dropped a Live EP of his Mission Creep Tour. And his tweet says it all.

Yes, the feels! Especially THE FEELS.

Currahee! – Here’s The Best Tattoo Story Ever

Damianista’s note: The lovely, crazy, adorable story you will read below comes from our own “Dark Horse” Vicky (well, she loves Soames!) who is one of the first, if not the first, fans that I met online the day Fan Fun with Damian Lewis was born in 2015. I remember that we exchanged a few words about Damian and she told me about how she became a fan of the “Ginger Prince.” Over the years, Vicky has written several posts for Fan Fun, participated in every Fan Fun community project, and become a friend. I know you will LOVE her tattoo story. I am thrilled to have been a little more than an extra in it. ENJOY!
