The "Bugle" incident:

The "Bugle" incident? Oh my. And how ironic that good ol' Viv probably also wouldn't get nor appreciate the hilarity of your inadvertent addition of a "gettin' his horn tooted" title to this scenario...

Just our luck - someone out there comes along, demonstrates definitively that they [str]actually have a life[/str] follow news that actually matters to Americans - and something like this happens to them.

"Unfortunate Outcome."



Edit - on some other forums, the [str] tag can cross out part of your text.
I'll leave it in just in case this forum adds it at some point.

He's talking about the "strikeout" tag, where the words within that tag appear with a line drawn through them. It's often used when one person uses a euphemism and someone else quotes the text, strikes out the euphemism and adds words that are more direct. They often add the comment, "fixed it for you."

Ms. Fox is also very scrumptious.

Viveca's first game show appearance was as a celebrity guest(albeit videotaped as all the celebrity guests appeared on videotape on this show) on Scattergories in 1993.

I was on in 2000, can I come back and play for charity?

That she won $64K back then is a promising sign.

I can understand Fox's confusion, but those who followed the story would be able to answer this, I suspect.

Nihil obstat®.

Back then, the audience and other celebs gave everyone help to reach 32K. That means she only answered one question w/o this help and had three lifelines available to do so. But she won twice as much as David Duchovny, who decided to guess at 500K.

There is a bulge joke in there somewhere

Poor Vivica, she just wasn't thinking dirty enough that day. I, too, was thinking of something to do with weight until the choices came up.

I watched part of this -- she's great!

This is where I came in --
