BPOTD - Warning: Extremely Bad Taste edition

There used to be a game show where contestants had to pick two numbers off of a board trying to match the prizes associated with those numbers (like the game Memory) - if they did match, they got to see a piece of a rebus puzzle that was hidden behind the numbers. It was very popular and was hosted by Hugh Downs. In fact it was so popular that I developed a special one-week summer program designed especially to help people improve their skills at playing the game - memory exercises, puzzle solving activities, etc. It sparked a lot of interest but I for some reason I could never fully convience anyone to actually sign up for my
Concentration Camp.

So maybe you should have made it a Concentration Boot Camp, and someone would have stolen sliver's credit card to sign up for it........

I would have signed up for it. I could have packed in the beautiful matched set of American Tourister luggage that Hugh Downs gave my mother as a lovely parting gift....
Oh, wait.

Me? No. Just your garden variety Collyer fan.
But since you brought m....her up, when was the last time you visited m....your poor, sacrificing mother? Children just don't appreciate........
And they don't make luggage like they used to, either!
