Transcript 01/09/08


Laura Miller
Lake Ariel, PA
Special ed teacher
Carryover contestant

50/50 & PAF still remaining

Meredith says Laura was "all freaked out" yesterday, but today her whole attitude has changed.
She's used to being in front of small children and this is just adults.



$25,000 - Constitution Day, which celebrates the historic 1787 signing of the U. S. Constitution is celebrated in what month?

A:February
B: July
C:September
D: November

Laura phones Brian, a good friend of her husband's and best man in their wedding. Brian says he's pretty sure it's September.


$50,000 - According to legend, a New Jersey native made history in 1820 by eating a basketful of what
food to prove it wasn't poisonous?

A:Eggplant
B:Tomato
C:Strawberry
D:Garlic

50/50 leaves B. Tomato & D. Garlic

Meredith tells Laura she now can freak out because of happiness.
Meredith asks Laura what she would like to do with the money. Laura says she would like a vacation
as they haven't had a vacation since their honeymoon,
which was only 3 days because of a lot of tropical storms and hurricanes.


$100,000 - in 1963, the Rolling Stones lent their signature sound to an advertising jingle
for what decidedly un-rock-and-roll product?

A:Rice Krispies cereal
B:Crest toothpaste
C:Kleenex tissues
D:Arm & Hammer baking soda

Laura says she knows some Rolling Stones songs but nothing is jumping out at her,
so she would like to switch the question.

$100,000 - Introduced in 1930, what popular candy was named after a favorite horse
owned by the candymaker's family?

A:Snickers
B: PayDay
C:Sugar Daddy
D: Whoppers

Laura thinks about it but thinks she can be happy
with $50,000 and decides to walk.










Answers:
$25,000: C. September
$50,000: B. Tomato
$100,000: A. Rice Krispies
$100,000: A. Snickers

$25K: Just not sure enough. Burn the 50:50, then go for September.

$100K: NAFC®. Switch it.

$100K #2: And a great switch for me! I'll be looking at the $250K question with no lifelines.

She noted that in front of children you can do anything, like burp, and they think its funny. I'm pretty sure if she had burped in the Hot Seat the audience would have laughed.

I wouldn't have needed the lifeline - tomatoes are in the same family as the "deadly nightshade" and were thought to share in their poisonousness.

I have no idea, and I doubt this is an easily Googlable question, so, like Laura, I'd be using STQ.

No idea on this one, either, but since I still have PAF left, it's time to use it.

Surprisingly easy to Google. <"rolling stones" advertising jingle 1963> gets you the answer in one. You'd probably need a good Googler, but then, you always do.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

25K: Was I supposed to know this? What am I missing? PAF!

100K: I want my PAF back. STQ!

STQ 100K: I know what I would name a horse (& I was right!) but I don't know this, if you know what I mean. I still want my PAF back, but ATA, 50/50, take a deep breath, & if my choice is still there (& it would be!) go with it.

Trust me on this, eating a bushel full of me today will definitely make you sick.




Wait a second, that didn't come out right...


Oh, wait again, yes it did.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.
-- Robert G. Ingersoll
