15. Remember "Mystery Date"?

Sun Jun 14, 2026, 01:59 PM

Sunday

Yes, I'm dating myself by mentioning this again, but I can never look at a side-by-side of the Orange Idiot and Gentleman Obama (especially in formal wear) without thinking of the old 70s board game "Mystery Date". The game play involved going around the board collecting an outfit/accessories to suit a certain date. Then one rotated the doorknob (to "randomize" the date selection) and opened the door to reveal the mystery date. Winning involved revealing a handsome fella attired for the "Dream date" you were prepared for. The less-desirable outcome was getting "the Dud" I'll leave it to you to determine which of the pictures above reminds me of which...

Wikipedia entry on the game.
