You can chalk up its failure to a number of issues, including the near-simultaneous release of more powerful consoles like the Sony PlayStation and the discomfort caused by crooking your neck to play the thing.

When reading your cell phone, hold it up rather than craning your neck down, and use an earpiece so you're not crooking your head toward the handset (or if you're trying to go hands-free, jamming the phone between your ear and your shoulder).

The event, now viewable on YouTube, took place halfway through a decade that had begun with a surge of personal, provocative, and rule-crooking new films, including some of that year's clearly troubled nominees—not just Dog Day, but also contenders like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and the way-darker-than-you-remember Shampoo.

Drying defects are the most common form of degrade in timber, next to natural problems such as knots (Desch and Dinwoodie, 1996). There are two types of drying defects, although some defects involve both causes: # Defects from shrinkage anisotropy, resulting in warping: cupping, bowing, twisting, crooking, spring and diamonding. # Defects from uneven drying, resulting in the rupture of the wood tissue, such as checks (surface, end and internal), end splits, honey-combing and case hardening. Collapse, often shown as corrugation, or so-called washboarding of the wood surface, may also occur (Innes, 1996).

Exorcists believe yawning can indicate that a demon or possessive spirit is leaving its human host during the course of an exorcism. Thus, covering one's mouth has been conceived as a protective measure against this. Yawning has also been described as disrespectful (when done before others) or improper (when done alone). For example, in his commentary on Al-Bukhari's hadith collection, Ibn Hajar, an Islamic theologian, mentions that yawning, in addition to its risks of letting demons enter or take hold of one's body, is unbefitting for humans as it makes them look and sound like dogs by crooking men's upright posture and making them howl: Superstitions regarding the act of yawning may have arisen from concerns over public health.

The image that Iago projects to his peers is that of the common soldier, a realistic—or cynical—man of the world: "unimpressed by fine emotions and super-subtle manners, a 'man's man', who cuts through to the nub of a matter, and preserves a firm self-sufficiency". Professor Felix Emanuel Schelling suggests that Iago was a "shameless egoist who proudly avows his villainy and bawls it to the gallery", his manipulation made possible with expressions of mock-sympathy. His description, early in the play, of the class of servant to which he does not belong, is that of the "knee crooking" subservients who wallow in their subserviency. Rather, he says, he is one of those who "shows of service on their lords / Do well thrive by them".

" In a review for Rolling Stone, Will Hermes described the album as "a shiny bouquet of synth-pop roses, with perfumed Eighties keyboard whooshes and modern stutter beats crooking a finger toward the dance floor", adding that "what makes the record are [Angelakos'] loose beats, shamelessly fruity melodies and breathless little-boy vocals, all pushing skyward." AllMusic editor Tim Sendra expressed that the album "could have been a total clustercrash of influences and sounds that ended up sounding hollow and pointless. Instead, thanks to the meticulous production values, the insane catchiness of the hooks, and the pure and true emotional underpinnings below all the gloss, the album is a total success of both sound and vision." The Guardians Paul MacInnes noted that while Angelakos' "euphoric mix of pop both electronic and melodic" is not "entirely unfamiliar", "the consistency with which various elements are blended suggests an artist with his own vision—signature details being crashing percussion left high in the mix and, even higher, Angelakos's piercing falsetto.
