Transcript 6/13/2008 - Laury Cuddihy (carryover contestant)
Laury Cuddihy
New York City, NY
Doctor
At work Laury is known as "Dr. Cuddihy" but her neighbors know her as "The lady who sleeps in her car". When she's on call all night she doesn't get home until 9 or 10, which is prime alternate-side-of-the-street parking and she can't find a place to park near her house. So she parks and waits, but she's so tired that she goes to sleep. Meredith says her neighbors don't know she's a doctor - they must think she's a bum. If Laury wins the million dollars she's going to buy herself a parking spot - that's all she cares about.
$2K - Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is located where?
A - St. Augustine, FL
B - Charleston, SC
C - Savannah, GA
D - Mobile, AL
Laury has absolutely no idea so she wants to ask the very smart audience.
ATA results:
A - 91%
B - 1%
C - 6%
D - 2%
Laury goes with the audience's answer.
$4K - Because it's considered bad luck to speak it's name, what Shakespeare tragedy is also referred to as "the Scottish play"?
A - Othello
B - King Lear
C - Macbeth
D - Hamlet
Laury doesn't want to guess so she asks to call Roy Krauss, "one of our great family friends". Laury reads the question and Roy asks for a repeat. He doesn't know so he'll have to guess and with 4 seconds left he guesses "Othello". Laury said she was thinking this also. She's scared but she's going to go with that answer. Laury exits the Hot Seat with $1K.
ANSWERS:
$2K - A (St. Augustine, FL)
$4K - C (Macbeth)

Yikes, on both.
Okay, I have a question for the smart New Yorkers in the audience. What exactly does "buying a parking spot" mean? Does it mean paying a monthly fee for a guaranteed opening in a parking garage or closed lot, or does Manhattan have some way to pay for ownership or temporary custody of a street parking space?

Thanks, Clem. I've only lived in places where there may not be a parking space as close to the front door as one might like, but there's always parking somewhere nearby.clem21 wrote:The former, although there are also people who pay yearly as well as own their own spacessilvercamaro wrote:Yikes, on both.

Those original Colonial streets don't allow for much parking

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Seeing as how Oklahoma City had the first parking meter I'm a bit surprised parking is not a bigger issue. Norman must be an even better place to park, about the only place in S.C. that you hear about folks buying parking places rather than leasing them is around the Gamecock Football Stadium, and its pretty big business there. These are dedicated parking lots not street parking.silvercamaro wrote:Yikes, on both.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I'm sure the only folks who appreciated that first parking meter were the OKC officials who collected the revenue.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:

"Hey, Harv, this is a great idea. We put these little machines on the street curbs, and we can tax those fat cats with cars by the minute!"
Okay, I exaggerate. The official story is that somebody in the 1935 Chamber of Commerce figured out that making folks pay for parking by the hour would cut down on the number of employee cars parked on the streets all day long, freeing up spots for prospective shoppers.
Still, I didn't get the impression that the contestant was referring to metered parking, but more the "condo" plan that others have described.

And, of course, it's illegal to tie one's horse to a parking meter (or it used to be when I lived in OK).silvercamaro wrote:I'm sure the only folks who appreciated that first parking meter were the OKC officials who collected the revenue.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:
