TV schedule conflict

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Thu Jul 17, 2008 9:14 am

I'll be watching 5th Grader tonight, because--well, if I don't post a report about it, who will? 8)

But I do hope that Annie will fill me in on Greatest American Dog! :)

If you wish, I'll post a AYSTA5G report since I'll be watching it.

Ever heard of a VCR? How about DVR?

I don't have Tivo.

and...........






























I can't believe you are still watching that show!

I think secretly, Marley wants to be on this show.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Yes, I've heard of a DVR but I don't have one. I haven't wired up the splitters and whatnot to tape a program on my VCR simultaneously with watching another.

Ear, I appreciate your offer, but there are some things that are too important to delegate to someone else! 8)

I openly would like to be on the show. If they come to this area for tryouts, I'll be there.

Of course, I'd like to be on 5th Grader. It'd be an easy $500K, before I recited the requisite "I am not smarter than a 5th Grader" sign-off, along with a disclaimer that not gambling it all on a questions sight-unseen is a perfectly smart decision.

However...

While I continue to hold the tiniest shred of irrational hope that TPTB might some day let me slip into the Hot Seat on WWTBAM, I know, with the utmost conviction, that they'd never, ever cast me to stand up there with Jeff Foxworthy. :|

It's all his fault. That'll be $10.

None of us, unless we're independently wealthy. You have to risk $475,000 on a category. I am not prepared to take such a chance.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

We've discussed risk toleration many time, usually when I'm ranting about some SyndieBAM contestant who has walked on a 50/50 in the middle tier. If your level of risk toleration is high enough to put $475K against any undisclosed, obscure factoid they might dig out of any 5th grade textbook, good for you!

As for me...just talk TAYSTA5GPTB into giving me the chance and we'll see. :|

I'm with you, Marley. I'd take the $500K and be happy to say "I am not smarter than a 5th grader".

If it was math, I'd do it. Otherwise ... no.
