A couple sitting next to me on a plane were playing a fast two person card game that looked fun. I asked what it was called and they told me it was "Bomb City". Possibly I heard the name wrong. I figured I could easily look it up online and get the rules. No such luck. Does anyone know the rules for "Bomb City"? It was a two person game ( possibly more - I dont' know ), played with a deck of standard playing cards including jokers. I think each person started with three piles of two cards in front of them with the top one frace up. Each game seemed to take 5 or 10 minutes. Thanks in advance. - Dave

Song recommendations that are fast-paced and under one minute in length, start to finish. A few seconds over is ok, but around one minute (or less) would be ideal. I'm looking for something that could go well with a super sped-up movie or animation (think guy walking down the street, but at 5x normal speed).
