i'm partial to the gong show myself.

also, my favorite cookie is the oreo. i've read that canadian oreos are sweeter.

im really hooked on the chocolate peanut butter chip cookies lw and i made the other night. but i have a recipe called 'who needs a man, i have chocolate chip cookies' for the best cookies ever. i want to try the new pb and choc oreos. have you had them elt? the gong show is great-do you get the game show network? we do up at school so friday afternoons my roommate and i used to tune in and reminisce. i always liked press your luck. BIG BUCKS! NO WHAMMIES!

I hate Wheel of Fortune.

Cookies:

I have always favored Jeopardy and Press Your Lucky. Mindylieu, I have had those PB and Choc Oreos...that's some good stuff. My grandparents are really into Wheel of Fortune, and although I can't stand to watch it, I have to when I am visiting their house between 7:00 and 7:30. I am pretty damn good at it, too. I just hate those idiots who scream and go 'COME ON BIG MONEY'. But, yeah, Jeopardy is awesome. And, then again, I am a nerd.

I don't really watch game shows, but I really like cookies. I like the soggy Chips-A-Hoy. Do you realize that I don't really care if that's how it spelled? Well, I don't. Snickerdoodles are damn good, too.

Does anyone remember Keebler Magic Middle cookies? Those were better than Girl Scout cookies. On the outside, they looked like regular choclate-chip cookies, but the inside was filled with creamy chocolate.

gameshows:
Survey Says!...I had an unhealty obsession with Plinko on the Price is Right as a child. Let's Make a Deal was a favorite. I would totally own Rock and Roll Jeopardy. I use to play along and keep score. Mark McGrath may know a lot about Blondie and Spandua Ballet, but I'd make him my bitch.

cookies:
I still, literally, have an unhealthy obsession with cookies. Those Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip are amazing. I hold a soft spot for Girl Scouts and their cookies. Samoas!

the price is right

plinko is also my favourite.

god, i loved those.

i make my own cookies, but when i don't i buy the chocolate chip cookies from the kroger bakery.

Samoas are the best Girl Scout Cookies. What are those cookies called that has the elves on both sides and had the creme in the middle? Those were good.

Game shows (If there is a black person on a game show, I always pull for them.  Don't ask me why.  This is not a racist thing, or a negative thing at all, it's just been my instinct since I was a young child.)

The Price is Right
Double Dare
The Wheel
Win Ben Stein's Money
Supermarket Sweep (or any such game show)
The Feud
RnR Jeopardy
Sale of the Century
Endurance
The $20 Sack Pyramid

Cookies:
Lord, just about all of them I like, especially homemade ones.  Cookies that I don't like:
-'Wedding cookies', or any kind of cookie with powdered sugar on them
-Lemon cookies
-Uh, that's about it.

It was always my dream to go on the college tournament of Jeopardy while attending somewhere like Motlow...then beat the asses of those rich kids from Yale, Harvard, et cetera. I think I could do it too, but I may aquire the jitters once I got on camera. Then I would be relegated to just saying 'suck it Trebeck' over and over.

I was wondering when someone was going to chime in with the $20 Sack Pyramid joke.

'I know Doc...Dre go through my music and shit...uhh...Snoop and me be goin' to the swap meet...'

'Oh I know...Things that niggas be sayin' to get the pussy!'

Jamie, I too always pull for the black folk as well as little old ladies. Caucasion males that attent UCLA should not be on game shows.

Right on with the Double Dare.

Family Feud

Did anyone see the bloopers from gameshows? It was nbc a couple weeks ago. It was funny.

Thin mints are the best girl scout cookies and samoas are now called something different.

No, I got a box of Somoas a couple of months ago. I got them from my psychology teacher. The Box said Somoas.

DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN....those were the best cookies ever. i know that sounds overdramatic, but i am a sweets addict. they also had some with fruit in the middle for a while. i love the peppridge farm verona cookies. they're the ones made of shortbread with a fruit jelly center. i want to go eat cookies and watch the gong show. chuck berris is my idol.

when i moved up to JC i noticed a change in names on the girl scout cookie boxes. come to find out, its a regional thing. in knoxville, samoas are samoas, but up here they are 'caramel delights.' tagalongs are peanut butter patties, etc. i asked some of my friends and they thought i was crazy because they always knew of them as 'caramel delites' or however you spell it. anyways, i asked a troop leader because i wanted to get to the bottom of this and she explained it all to me.
isn't it funny that baby plural is babies, but cookies singular isn't cooky? same with movie(s)...hmmm...

Its not cooky?

well i guess some people spell it cooky. i have always spelled it cookie. back to the cereal topic-isn't it cookie crisp? not that you can go by cereal names-captain krunch, froot loops, trix, etc...

I like the Louie Anderson Family Fued because he hosts it like he knows that he's hosting a crappy game show. It is very loose sometimes. But Jeopardy really is the best value for viewing time as far as game shows go. Especially Rock n Roll Jeopardy.
The cookies with elves on either side and filling in the middle were E.L. Fudge. I am not sure if they still make them.

Some one at my church brought them to my church once and we ate them. They were good. Yum, yum.

They do still make them, even with double fudge in the middle. I will bring them for everyone at DitD. Between Tom Foolery and I, you all will have tons of treats, including M.U.S.C.L.E. men and cookies.

Will they let you bring cookies into DitD? They don't let you bring anything else in.

I will sneak them in. I have ways...

i've snuck a flask in before, but that's another story all together.

Rock on. If you get me some gummy bears in there, I'll pay you.

is press your luck the show with the whammies? bc if it is, that's my fave. i LOVE supermarket sweep and shop till you drop. price is right is a good one too.

Being John Malkovich is coming on tonight at 7:30/6:30C on Comedy Central. Everyone watch it. It's a great movie and everyone should watch it.

yup-no whammies! gimme big bucks!

man oh man, i loved that show. i loved it when they would come and scrape away all your money in clever ways.

You know what I find interesting? That the topic started as game shows, we talked about game shows for a while, then cookies, then sneaking stuff into DitD, and now y'all are talking about game shows again. I know the threads go off topic all the time, but do they ever get back on topic after a couple of days, or is this just wierd? By the way, Being John Malkovich was good. I hope y'all all saw it. If not, it's really good and is coming on Comedy Central again tomorrow at 2:30/1:30C. Watch it, please.

two words.....double dare!!

Do you have some sort of investment (woah, I originally wrote incestment. weird) in this movie or something. I mean it's good and all, but...

i was wondering the same thing. it is a wonderful film, no doubt, but i think justanotherdrive has royalties on it or something.

crocodile dundee is better than being john malkovich.
paul hogan owns stock in canadian oreos.

it's no fun watching movies on tv anyway...you have to sit through all the commercials. just rent it.

I saw Whammy earlier on the game channel. It was interesting. In the beginning, he was announcing the people and they were running to their spot. I thought that the running was kinda gay, but the rest of the show was pretty good.

What the hell are you talking about?

The game show Whammy.

big money, big money... STOP!

ARRGGH! WHAMMY!

Yea, that show.

Yeah, it's called Press Your Luck. I don't remember running being involved.

At the very beginning, the announcer calls out their names and they run to their place. It's real short and easy to miss. It might have just been that one. That's the only time I'm ever seen it.

it must be some sort of plot for the game show network to feed of people's 80's nostagia desires. this is just an assumption, as i have never seen not heard of the aforementioned 'Whammy.'

LW, have you been drinking even more than usual tonight or has J-City finally turned you into an idiot?

guilty on both charges, sir. i have no idea how that happened.

ps mike's hard ice tea sucks. i drank a six pack plus a few beers and i feel nothing. yes, yes, i know-i'm a big pussy.

Johnson City can definitely do some damage.
I have never seen the contestants running on Press Your Luck either, but I haven't seen that show in a while.
Has anyone ever watched Beat the Geeks?

I think I lived it in high school.

Well then what was your specialty?

(Edited by StephanieW at 2:59 pm on June 12, 2002)

Losing my lunch money to football players.

My specialty could probably be on 'The Breakfast Club' if they wanted to get that specific with it. I used to watch it everyday, so I would have to practice to get refreshed. But, that would be on the only category I would even have a chance in.
And as we all know, a lot of us could be 'Saved by the Bell' experts.
And, Tom, I will protect you.

OK, Ms. Smarty Pants, what 'flavors' of pixie sticks did that weird girl put on her sandwich?

i love that show. lw blows the music geek out of the water. he needs to get on that show.

i would rather go on rock and roll jeopardy. i think i could kick ass at it.

me too, i think i could even beat cici deville.

I could totally be the pro-wrestling geek. Most people who know me will back me up on this.

My brother would do well as a pro-wrestling geek, too. He's been watching since he was about 5.

HOLY SHIT! American Gladiators is on TNN right now!
