Plasticene's Crosswords episode airs on Wednesday

#1 Post by plasticene » Mon Mar 03, 2008 8:28 am

Don't miss it if you can! :)

It's the first episode for the two-episode stations, so it will be on the one-episode stations as well. I'm David, the spoiler on the left, wearing a blue shirt and striped tie.

Now that I know it is on at 11:30 here, I will venture to catch the show.

Will you please do a reminder Wed morning?

I guess the WWTBAM APs didn't warn the Crosswords APs about that! 8)

All I can say is that when I was on BAM, the "wardrobe mistress" chose the blue shirt that I took from the two that I brought with me, so it was her fault that I was in the MAWG uniform my first show. For the second, I didn't take a blue shirt at all.

I have a blue shirt saga of my own. I brought three shirts, as requested: a green one, a blue one, and a brown one with a subtle pattern. The AP in charge immediately chose the green one, which was my favorite as well.

But once the five players for my episode were chosen, it turned out that one of the other two men was also wearing a green shirt, and he hadn't brought any others. I brought my other shirts out, and the AP pointed to the blue one and said she would throw a tie on it and it would be great. I think she wanted to hide the white buttons, which might have been too bright.

Thanks for everyone's good wishes, and I'll be sure to bump this thread on Wednesday morning.

I hope it doesn't interfere with Emma's viewing of Greed.

I hope she taped that, so she can watch you whenever she wants to.

Thanks Pea for pointing out 11:30! Otherwise I might have taped Judge Brown.


DVR all set!


The dreaded blue shirt? At least it is not the red shirt on Star Trek.

You should feel honored that Emma likes you. As you know, she's very picky about who she tolerates.

So, she truly does like it when I flip my eyelids?

I guess describing my TV wardrobe in detail was a little superfluous! The funny thing is that I chose to use my own picture in my avatar so that people who haven't met me would feel a little more like they knew me when my show aired, but I didn't think about that when I wrote down my description.

If anyone has been curious, that's a three-toed* sloth named Buttercup that I'm making goo-goo eyes at in my avatar. OperaSinger and I visited the Sloth Sanctuary near Limon, Costa Rica, during our Panama Canal cruise over the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

*You may have heard of two-toed sloths and three-toed sloths, but all sloths have three "toes" on their "feet". It's the number of claws on their "hands" that differentiate the two families of sloths. The confusion possibly comes from a mis-translation of the Spanish dedos, which, like "digits", can mean either fingers or toes.

I haven't seen the show yet (it was broadcast this morning at 4:30AM), but I had a dream last night that plasticene won almost a million dollars on the show (the exact figure was $795,300). Of course I know that's impossible given the show payouts, but it was a nice dream.

It wouldn't surprise me if David won a record amount on the show. I know that he beat Jeff at Scrabble and he is very gifted with language.

Just aired here, or will be done soon. That was fun.

Thanks! The show comes on in a little over an hour here, and I've set up a television with rabbit ears in a large office whose occupant happens to be out today. I can't wait to see it myself!

Outstanding job, David! :D

And some very difficult clues on that board. "Nero's circus"? :?
