That was bad, even for me.  Dare I say it, that was (au) gratin.

Throwing potatoes at you two would be letting you off easy.  Anybody got any watermelons?  Hmm, Hot Watermelon...

Those are not the orignial ones, they used orange covers until '75 and blue covers until around '81 or '82.

Interesting what people will do to sell stuff on E-Bay.

The cold end of a fireplace poker is put in the ears of pseudo-celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Pauley Shore, and Uwe Boll.  The contestants wager on how badly they burn their hands trying to pull it out.

I hear Michael Skupin will be playing the game, too. He's an expert at it.

I'll lock myself in the TTD90 room now......

Well, what purpose would that serve?  You can't harm what ain't there.

You're almost there--perhaps if I told you that this thread had also given me an idea for the ideal contestant pool, it would help.

That's the attitude! It's rather like the jester who worked for a king who hated puns and sentenced the jester to hang. On the scaffold, the king relented, and offered to let the jester go free if he never uttered another pun.
"No noose is good noose," said the jester, and died a happy man.
