Just tell me what the sketch means and I'll drop it. You dzinkin, can end this whole thing with one post...one explaination.

Because some have informed me that a "strong suggestion" may not have been sufficient, I will now make this as clear, as direct, and as unambiguous as I can:

DROP IT.

Zink, I don't think you could have made it any clearer for him. I second Aaron's recommendation: thin ice, dude.

Fine. You don't have to tell me what that sketch is about.

Subject...DROPED!

Congratulations on coining the newest GSF cliche!

Guys, seriously. Knock it the hell off.

As for "Things that are personal," I have your definitive clue. "Your identification number."

No matter how many times you tell people to knock it off, it won't get through. Maybe if musicman stopped posting on the board, it might help matters.

EDIT: Didn't see someone said it.

Robert Hutchinson · « **Reply #171 on:** January 25, 2006, 07:46:05 AM »

Someone else had already said "identification number". I think that that one looks more obvious when you know the category: "Oh, of course, personal identification number." But with just the last two words, I'm not sure it's quite that simple to get there. Just my opinion, of course.

Thought I'd run a few of these by you guys...I've used them in the Palace when I host Pyramid...and wanted some feedback on these (posted the two below too for comparison):
$200-Things that are ridden
$250-Things you memorize
$300-Things with an ending

$200-Things you promise
$250-Things that are treasured
$300-Things that are catered

$200-Things that are extended
$250-Things with a hook
$300-Things that Hover

I now see why Pyramid may have reused material...after writing 30 games solo, it was hard to come up with much new.

$300-Things with an ending

If I'm not mistaken, that was the last category on the original "Pyramid" in 1980 (I think it was worded "Things That End", but I'd have to check the tape).

Bill Cullen was the clue-giver, and said "this show.....the world one day" and the contestant got it. Quite appropriate for the final show!

It was Things that come to an End. The $300 box in the final WC on the Clark $100K Pyramid was Things you Finish.

I'm flabbergasted on how one could guess this.

Sometimes you get lucky, Brandon. I did think of some clues: "a horse" "a pony" "a bicycle" "a unicycle". If you really want to get crude, "a woman"....

"A carousel horse", "a Greyhound bus", "Mr. Toad's wild automobile"

It's actually easier than it looks, because the judge has to take the more likely "Things You Ride (On)"

Wouldn't that be better suited for "Things you avoid"? lol

Oh, duh. I was thinking about the state of being full of something, like "ridden with holes."

Nevermind.
