From the vicinity of my rock, the 1st I heard of this was when the writers or cast or whatever dragged Tyson, convicted rapist, up to share in whatever Golden Globe award they won.

They didn't say on the Golden Globes show that Tyson specifically was a tiger or whatever owner, but since I saw the GGs before the BAM episode aired, it would have been my "good guess".

I am glad to have gotten the feedback from some of the ladies on teh Board (and Marley)...

There are ladies on Marley?

Hey, he's single.

And he's got $1,000 in AAA money burning a hole in his pocket.

Oh, crud. I think I just destroyed the entire post I just wrote. So if it double posts, my apologies.

You guys are all so nice. I really wish that I had come back here after the taping, but I was too busy moping and trying to determine which brand of Halloween candy tasted the best. (After several added pounds, Heath bars emerged the clear winner, with Junior mints coming in second.)

As far as Jeopardy! goes, I shot that bolt 15 years ago, coming in second to Bruce the metrologist, an eventual 5 time champion. I did receive a lovely Acer computer and a lifetime supply of cough drops, among other things. The best part was going out to dinner at Suzanne Goins' then new restaurant, and having a delightfully snarky chat with her partner, whose mother had dated Trebek. (I'm such a stinkin' gossip.) I'm thinking about what show to try out for next, but my husband says we need to wait and build up his frequent flyer miles again. I think that he just wants to wait until the children are older - preferably in college - as his three day stint with them on his own left him completely incapacitated for the next several days. In the meantime, there's the Kohler School Friends Trivia Tournament next month. We have high hopes of winning it, as we came in 1st place 2 years ago, and second last year, with a half strength team. The grand prize is an astonishing - hold on to your hats - $200! Whoo-hoo! Of course, after you deduct the $100 entry fee, and our babysitter's payment, we would end up oh, about $25.00 in the hole. Assuming we won. But ya gotta dream big!

Oh, and Appa23 (I think that was you)? After some consideration, I think that I really do live in a hole. Or, more accurately, the Mommy cave. You know that you're in trouble when you get really, really excited over the fact that Neil Patrick Harrison is doing a guest shot as the Shoe Fairy on Sesame Street. Or actually turn on an episode of the Backyardigans even when nobody really wants to watch it, because its your favorite one. Or when you start to why Muno on Yo Gabba Gabba looks exactly a giant . . . well, lets not go there. I'll just say that it's a deeply disturbing image for a children's show.

Anyway, thanks for all the kind words. You guys are wonderful people, and this board is a very special place. I'm honored that you think I'm one of you, and I hope to make some small contributions to the excellent discussions here. Thanks!

Lisa, I really enjoyed reading your posts - you're a very talented and entertaining writer. And very funny!

Congrats on winning the 5 grand - no small potatoes after all.

The "experts" really need to keep their mouths shut unless they know the answer. And TPTB really need to open their eyes to the folly of this new lifeline. I can totally see how her response swayed you.

O.K., here is the disturbing part. I also saw that episode of NPH as the Shoe Fairy and totally was excited when he came on screen. (Much better than Jimmy Fallon's totally unfunny spot as someone trying to "rough it in the outdoors" on Sesame Street.)

Meanwhile, I still am waiting for Handy Manny to hook up with Kelly. I think that the sexual tension is starting to make the tools rather uncomfortable.

As far as Jeopardy! goes, I shot that bolt 15 years ago, coming in second to Bruce the metrologist, an eventual 5 time champion. I did receive a lovely Acer computer and a lifetime supply of cough drops, among other things.

If you've still got a tape of the episode, and have ever considered getting it into the Jeopardy Archive, we'd love to make that happen.
