Hey, Appa, since your kids are active in dance, do you know Tami? Maybe she's one of their instructors?

What are the odds that she's appa23's children's teacher?

The overwhelming response made elwing ask what the largest percentage of the audience vote turning out to be wrong was. I told her I'd ask here because someone would probably know the answer.

I do not, as she is a baton twirling instructor.

However, a quick Google check reveals some interesting information.

She is one of the coaches/teachers for the Stepper-ettes, which is the 2-time national and reigning world chanpion in baton twirling.

I now recall a news story about their world championship. Tami has a twin sister who also runs the Stepper-ettes. Their brother was a champion baton twirler. At some point, he had made it a goal to win the world championship. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident while in college.

Here is just one story about the family.

If she's a true carryover, I hope she held off on that!

I believe that back in prime time days, 80% of the audience (on a mid-tier question) thought that Microsoft owned Wired, rather than Slate. --Bob

Why not have fun while you are in New York?

Are they starting the tapings before noon?

If not, then she would not need to be up that early on the 2nd day.

Nuts. Not Appa's children's dance teacher.

I cut it quite close with this one. After blankly staring at this one for several seconds, I suddenly made the connection to "hack", slang for taxi driver.

Jeemie was referring to the fact that, since she carried over from the second to third episode taping in the same day, "tomorrow" was actually only about 20 minutes later.

I'm sure they did go out for another beer or two, after the day's taping was over.

They may be world champs in baton twirling but she mentioned on WWTBAM fb that she hit Meredith with the baton.

Tami Foehlinger- Koel
Meredith was very friendly! Tomorrow you will see me twirling a baton and I actually hit her with it during taping!!! They edited that part out. Even though I injured her she was still really nice to me!
