Well, gee, Anthony. Some Harvard graduates also have heard of the word "zoology."

*Sam Kinison scream*

ZO! Z-O! As in "zoo" or "zoology", dumbass!

Nihil obstat®

My thoughts exactly on the word "zoo"! It was good that he was thinking about the zodiac and realized that some were people and some were animals (and some are objects, like "scales"). But he should have been able to figure out the root "zo" no matter what. To his credit, the lightbulb did eventually go on for him. But folks you have all the time you want! I promise you, they'll edit it down if they need to.


For the Rick James question, I would have asked Leeza if she was "a very freaky girl, the kind you don't bring home to mother". I think she would have had fun with that.

Well, at least I do agree with at least one thing that he said during the show...

He's only got one lifeline left. I bet he doesn't go far tomorrow. I won't see what happens because I'll be in a dentist's chair getting my teeth cleaned-ugh.

I was screaming "haven't you heard of ZOOLOGY?" at the TV when he got the zodiac question. He wasted the 50/50 on that-it may come back to haunt him.

Okay, since I was up so early today and got my morning stuff done, you and tmitss have intrigued me enough so that I will have to look up the schedule and actually watch today. If it's still on in the mornings (it's been so long since I saw it that I'm not even sure of the channel).

Dots

And, wouldn't you know it? I got busy doing stuff and spaced out even looking up to see when BAM is on! I don't generally read the transcripts, so somebody needs to alert me when these are up so I can check out what both of you were talking about.

Fan, check your email!
