Boy, how time flies! It's hard to believe that yesterday marked 8 years since me and LB first met. He parked his fanny in my chair of woe and proceeded to have the most horrifying hour of his entire life as he showed the entire nation just how incredibly stupid and inept he is. I have to say I miss him, and tubadave, and AlphaDummy, and Winnamill, and all the other unfortunate souls who all got to watch an entire WWTBAM taping from my confines. You see, the past 8 years haven't exactly been kind to me either. I got laid off back in 2002 and spent the next two years working in the waiting room of the unemployment office. I got called back into work in 2004, but that didn't last long and I was back out on the street again. There isn't much of a job market for cursed chairs, but I did manage to finally find work in Evil Dentist's office. The screams of terror I hear everyday are almost as hair-raising as those made by the RoF'ers who were sentenced to a slow, painful death in my electric chair during my glory days....
I am hopeful that this news about a possible return of WWTBAM means I'll soon be back in my old familiar spot in the studio, but in the meantime, LB gave me the opportunity to revive this classic game he allowed me to first post during his all-Merry Man March 2003 LS. It contains 10 songs that always remind LB of that bittersweet time in his life when he thought he might actually get a shot to win 1.86 million dollars. Don't bother trying to figure out the connections these songs have in LB's mind.... you'll just waste precious brain cells in vain. Just play the game and don't let my negative vibes affect your performance....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....
1. See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
2. When you rolled up in the Escalade
Saw that truck you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling
3. Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
4. Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping-tom techie with x-ray eyes
5. Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
6. Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let...fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
7. what you wanna ball with the kid
watch your step you might fall
trying to do what I did
mama-unh mama-unh mama come closer
in the middle of the club with the rub-a-dub, unh
8. Now he's getting a tattoo
He's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'
9. She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
10. Things look swell, Things look great,
Gonna have the whole world on a plate,
Starting here, Starting now
