I think Chris's reaction stems from the fact that in the history of this forum and ATGS, we HAVE had quite a number of people claim EXACTLY that.

I'm rather a big fan of the show myself, but I will freely admit it's certainly not even close to the greatest mental competition ever devised.

meaning that $6.70/hr would be doubled. We haven't reached that threshold yet.

Not to mention upon checking the department of labor's website, min. wage in Maryland is $5.15 as of 1/1/04, unless they've changed it since then...

No... they haven't.

$5.15? But the point is that as a whole, the economy and people's yearly pay have increased a decent amount since 1986, and $5000 can't buy you nearly as much today as it could in 1986.

[quote name=\'wheelloon\' date=\'Dec 10 2004, 08:57 PM\']BTW i don't if anyone else on this website lives in MD, but I do, and I am paid the minimum wage that supposedly the state has set right now... $6.50...

Did you not see bossjock77's reply on this thread? Look back a few...

[wheelloon]

Okay then... apparently my employer has misinformed me about MD minimum wage... I shall have to look more into that... but anyway...

What does everybody think made Wink Martindale so good? I never really thought too highly of him, I don't think he was a bad host, he just seemed kinda boring to me...

And if you read before you assumed, you would know that quite a number of people here don't think much of Martindale. I personally think he's the most contrived and cornball (and yes, I know he tried to be cornball) host in game show history.

Well i didn't just mean here, i mean on a lot of game show forums i've been on, people have said they really loved wink... and yeah, i have to agree that he really is kind of a cornball at times

I've said it before and I'll say it again--in my heart, Mr. Clementson is right in everything he says about "PYL," but I'm still drawn to the set whenever I put that show on, whether it's the original or the admittedly-inferior remake.

Perhaps Peter Tomarken's the anti-Christ.
