I'm so happy!

[Shade]

Today I was in the audience of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire again, and it just happened to be NetFlix movie week, so everyone in the audience, including myself got 1 year FREE subscription to Netflix!!! Not only that when they were throwing T-shirts into the audience I managed to get one, but that wasn't even the best part of the night. There is a comedian that keeps us hyped up and entertained, well he asked if there were any questions and I got his attention and asked "Can I say hello to Meredith" I was a little nervous asking this question because I'm kind of shy. The reason I asked this is that Meredith is usually talking to one of the producers during commercials and breaks, so she is sitting there not talking to the audience. Also, I LOVE when I am able to get a celebrity to talk to me or acknowledge my existence just for a moment. So when I asked, he tapped Meredith on the shoulder and said "That guy wants to say 'Hi' to you". So she looked, directly at me!! and I waved and said "Hi Meredith" she waved back, smiled and said "Hello" she also asked me a question, I think it was "Where are you from?" but before I could answer the whole audience started yelling their hellos too. But the important thing is Meredith said Hello to ME.

The bad news is, I didn't pass the audition test, but my dad's friend sue did, so there is a chance she'll get on the show. I really thought I was going to pass that time, I felt good about it.

Anyway, I had a great time and thanks for reading

I'm sorry you didn't pass the test, Shade, but don't let that worry you. Lots of people are non-passers on their first try. I am delighted that you've already succeeded at the most important part of the process -- having fun. Meredith is indeed a nice person. Congrats, too, on the NetFlix subscription and the t-shirt. Keep smiling!

Good luck to your dad's friend.

Excellent day for you.

Let us know about your dad's friend, and we'll fire up the ole cheering section.

Yup, I'll let you know. She is really smart, but I'm not sure how photogenic she is.

Actually...it was my second time (I had a better time this time than last time)

But I did have fun, third times a charm

Goodness, I agree that does sound like an exciting day!

I'm impressed that you caught a t-shirt because I can never catch those t-shirts when they are being thrown. What does your's have on it?

YAY for your Netflix subscription! I'm a faithful fan of their company. Have you ever used Netflix prior to now?

[peacock2121]

I love it when people are so happy!

Probably my favorite thing.

[MarleysGh0st]

Sorry about non-passing the test, Shade, but I'm glad you're happy with the rest of the day.

They've gotten stingy with the shirts, lately. There was a time when they'd hand out enough for everybody in the audience. I've got a bunch--usually wear them to the gym.

Yeah, I never got a T-shirt either.

One time the two peeps I was with both got one and I didn't. Okay, they came from further away. But then they both ended up winning some serious money eventually.

You know who you are!

[peacock2121]

Uh oh.

Was one of them me?

I have such a bad memory about who I saw shows with.

I have BAM shirts coming out my butt.

[peacock2121]

It can't be me - I didn't come from further.

sigh of relief

[Rexer25]

I have BAM shirts coming out my butt.

OK, not only is that a bad visual, but it sounds rather painful as well.

Yeah, my Dad's friend Sue went to the show a few years back and everyone got a shirt. the Comedian kept say "if you don't get one it's no big deal, they are like 2 dollar shirt" My question would be (but I didn't say this) "If they are only two dollar why not give everyone a shirt!"

Yeah, I think it was because I was talking to one of the stage hands before hand about wanted a T-shirt and I think she may of been the one to throw it to me. I can't be sure.

No, this is the first time I've ever had a Net flix subscription

Passing that test would of made that evening perfect , oh well.

In the Peacock household, whenever we have an extraordinary amount of anything on hand (tuna, string beans, minced clams), we say we have them coming out our butt.

It's all Sting's fault.

This is an even WORSE image. Especially the string beans. Evokes the memory of the cat I owned when I got married and his first encounter with tree tinsel.

It's all Sting's fault.

Sure, blame the guy. Although I must admit that phrases like this do tend to be a guy thing.

A few years ago Jeff and I went to several tapings in several days. At each taping we got several shirts, so we have quite a few.

We also have Meridith Money, Gold goins with Meridith's picture on it.

[Odyssey]

I did not catch a shirt on Monday's taping, despite sitting in the first row. They only threw out 4 T-shirts for the entire audience!!

So, they're picking contestants who won't win much money, and cheaping out on the goods to boot!

I wonder if any of us won the thousand bucks they were giving away...

Maybe they gave out too many shirts early in the season and have to scale back on how many they give out until the season ends.

We'll find out next week!

[MarleysGh0st]

Nope. I was there on the second taping day of the season and they were stingy then, too. The generous days ended a couple seasons ago, IIRC.

[T_Bone0806]

I have BAM shirts coming out my butt.

Judging by your new avatar, the pictorial proof was evidently snapped just a bit early, then

Next they'll start collecting the pencils after the test...

I gave a bunch of shirts to Goodwill a while ago, probably should have thought to see if anyone here wanted them first. They're just too big for me. I racked up several in my first year's attempt to tilt at the windmill. I still try to catch one now and then but usually it's to hand off to someone who actually wants it.

I'm really not sure what to do with my collection of Play-It couture, either. I've worn my jacket all of three times thus far and I am not a polo shirt kind of girl. The pins I'm keeping though, despite the temptation to see what I could get on ebay for a completed set.

The Play It shirts and hats are useful if you're going to meet another BB for the first time and want something instantly identifiable, but otherwise they're not something that really fits in for normal wear, are they? Particularly now that they don't even have the attraction any more.

I haven't checked on the eBay prices for the pins and stuff lately. They never came close to the official value, IIRC. I wonder if they have gone up any since "they don't make them anymore"?

Most of the stuff wasn't girl-friendly, which was my objection. I tend to be a skirt and nice top sort of person, so it's all too casual for me. Jeans and polos are generally worn for running to the market or cleaning house and that's about it. I wouldn't be caught dead in a baseball cap if I could help it.

Someone asked what I'd take in trade for my million point pin at the parks a couple of trips ago, but I didn't ask what they would offer for it because I wasn't interested in parting with it. I've actually removed it from my pin lanyard since then, because I don't want to be asked. If I were a pin trader I'd probably do well with the higher value pins, but I think most people have given up on the fantasy of completing that particular pin set by now.
