Greek Phallic Disco Golf Balls: A Free Association Game

2011-12-14 · John, Hank · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

Together in Mountain Brook and, John says, not in the mood for a proper video, John and Hank play a game of word association from 'lemon' to Silvio Berlusconi and ask Nerdfighters to continue it in the comments.
