Ooh, I'd have loved this stack. ATA on a deckle edge, because I'm too uncertain to go for it straight, and I'm looking at the $100K question with three lifelines left.
IMO the Rockne question is a higher level than $50K. Knew it, but wouldn't have seen it b/c I knew the Bakke answer.

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

New York, NY
Steve says he is from Harlem.
So? Is that supposed to be a hook or something? Is he going to do the Harlem Shuffle? Was he in Harlem Nights? Is he a member of the Harlem Globetrotters? He just looks like another WE to me...

Let em know when they make something that'll reach through the TV and swat these dimwits in the Hot Seat upside the head when they screw up....

Ummmmmmm..... what!?!?!?!? Is this another New York tradition?
Steve is a literacy teacher. Nights & weekends he is a professional tee shirt folder.
No way. There is no way somebody can become a professional T-shirt folder. That is like me proclaiming myself to be a professional TV operator, because I know how to turn my TV on and off (Well, I usually turn it off by throwing something heavy through the screen.... so I guess I'm not very professional after all). But this has got to be some kind of joke. Do you have some kind of degree in T-shirt folding with Sally Struthers signature on it?
There is an art & skill involved. There are several different types of folds. There are tee shirt folding classes, seminars, workshops.
Bullcrap! I laughed at the contestant two years ago who said she went to "spinning classes", but at least there was a remote corner of my big, fat, fabulous brain that could accept the fact that there actually was such a thing. There is no way there are T-shirt folding seminars and workshops, and any college that offers classes in T-shirt folding is likely one anonymous call away from relocating to another state before the police raid its offices. I'll bet you aren't even really from Harlem....
Tee shirt folding is very serious. He gets his tee shirt folding
fill at work & doesn't bring it home with him. Meredith thinks Steve is a very funny guy.
I think this guy is some kind of pathological liar, or maybe he's just really, really messed up in the head and pretends that when his mom lets him fold the shirts at the laundromat that he's actually pursuing a career. But it's nice to see Mere is still a complete dumbass when it comes to her opinion of the contestants...

Most people would've known it by being able to figure the damn thing out. It isn't that hard to figure out which park has mule rides. Doesn't your TV viewing affect the quality of your folding?
$8000
Echoing the themes of her five other New York Times bestsellers, a 2007 book by guru Suze Orman is titled "Women and" what?
A: Food
B: Money
C: Dating
D: Children
The word "guru" gets thrown around an awful lot nowadays, and usually gets attached to people who don't deserve it like Miss Suzie here. A guru is supposed to have superior intelligence, like me. Please, feel free to call me a guru, but not some nutjob who tries to push their agenda on us in the form of self-help books...

I'll bet our folding guru here knows how to fold paper without creating any torn edges. No wonder he had to ATA on this question...
When Steve got the call to be on the show, he was at the laundromat doing his laundry in Harlem.
Oh wow, who would have guessed! Shame on you for interrupting his intense session of folding shirts....
He couldn't jump
around and act excited there. He waited until he got home
and did a happy dance. Meredith makes him demonstrate the dance.
Was Danielle taking notes as they led her out of the studio? Mere makes yet another contestant make a fool out of himself for no good reason. Not that I particularly feel sorry for our folding dumbass here, but still the point stands...

Brilliant, Eric! Steve is no better off now since he already had folded this question in half to achieve a 50/50 position. Instead of wasting all that breath with your useless guess, you may as well have just opened your mouth and sprayed a whole can of starch in it....
Meredith says she could hear his mind working.
Steve says Eric's mind is like a computer.
That was the sound of all the synapses snapping while Eric tried to do some heavy thinking while under the influence of fabric softener...
Meredith tells Steve he knew it before he made that phone call.
Yeah right, Joe Isuzu. And you're really a goddamn professional T-shirt folder....

I am inclined to agree with MBFFB about the fun "T-shirt folding" would have generated with Regis Philbin. Oh boy, would it have ever. Amateur tall story raconteur competing with the pro of them all.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Transcript May 21, 2008

He was thinking Mimi, however he decides to call his friend Eric. You can definitely hear
typing in the background. Eric says he thinks it's Mimi. Steve asks how sure and as time runs out it sounds like he says 50/50.
Meredith says she could hear his mind working.
Steve says Eric's mind is like a computer. Meredith tells Steve he knew it before he made that phone call.

Bakke's problem was in part not only was he a WG he was almost a MAWG. I think nowadays not much problem with med school, but no chance whatsoever for a game show....
(he was an engineer wishing to change caneers, rejected at age 33 and age 34, admitted at age 39, trained in anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic, and started his practice at age 47. I believe he is retired now).

And does his laundry at a laundromat, where he got the call. He said he didn't want to freak out there, so he had to wait through a spin cycle and then go home before doing so. He even demonstrated his "happy dance".BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Steve Mahoney

I didn't think he was so funny. OTOH I've never heard of a professional T-shirt folder.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Steve is a literacy teacher. Nights & weekends he is a professional tee shirt folder. There is an art & skill involved. There are several different types of folds. There are tee shirt folding classes, seminars, workshops. Tee shirt folding is very serious. He gets his tee shirt folding fill at work & doesn't bring it home with him. Meredith thinks Steve is a very funny guy.

I wouldn't have seen this one, but would have known the answer had it come up in the stack. So I'd be going for $100K with 50/50, PAF and STQ still remaining.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$50000

I've never watched "Dumb and Dumber", but I've watched this show which is based on "Dumb and Dumber". But that wouldn't help me answer a question about "Dumb and Dumber"....

I'm hoping the transcriber was responsible for that, not the show's writers. (I forgive the transcriber, as undoubtedly it was a mere typo, and I thank him or her for the effort. I would not forgive a member of the professional writing staff, which presumably has sufficient resources to double-check this sort of thing.)

I don't know if I saved it the show or not, but I'll take full responsibility & probably won't go back to check it.
I will admit I was in a hurry and just wanted to get the damn thing done.
I don't even think, I just mostly type.
