By the way...and this will likely be my last comment.
I am here to help. And my company is all about winning, promotion and charity.
It is between YOU and God as to what you think of it. And if the Aetheist
featured on TVtrips.com can win 500K so can everyone else.

God Bless,

Mark Anthony DiBello

On just one of my shows (Wheel) I won 65K because God gave me the answers.
Fact is: I can't spell IRS...so how much have you won? ZE-O....God bless you.
Good Bye.

That explains why God was unavailable to be on my PAF list. He'd already been
called twice that season. I had to make do with four saints and a guardian angel.

I am a lot cheaper than his charities. Send your money to me and I will
channel whatshername-Knight, J something-and talk in a low voice and I will
gather and harbor highest tier answers and I will dispense them to worthy bb's.
I will also get someone to make me a sparkly website so you know I'm spiritual
enaht.

I need some more new shoes, so send ME the money. I will get you to that upper
tier. Trust me. Really.

I will ban you from my sparkly spiritual website for your lack of faith in my

kind donations, in which case I will prepare loads of contestant-
building, um, stuff, for you.

The ability to discern character flaws of potential sparkly-website
participants is not evidence of spiritual unenlightedness-abob. Easy for you
to say. It is merely an exhortation and, truly, a free consulting service for
which I SHOULD charge for, yet, in the interests of building my client
database, I won't. Yet.
Curses don't work on sparkly website people, however, if you persist in
casting bad karmic threats and all around I might be persuaded to dredge up
some Druidic shaman monster to settle your happy self down.

Oh, just great. Sparkly website personaes DON'T avail themselves of U.N.y
sorts of facilities and most certainly NOT from some wuss frog neighbor with
holey cheese as an export.

I'm just sayin'.

However, if you'd like to present your credentials as a
channelee/contestant/contributor I'd gladly accept your CHECK, MONEY ORDER,
CREDIT CARD or whichever ANNUITY or LOAN you'd like to offer.

Honestly, the crowd here.

If you will just send me a little bit of money I'll make you a never-ending

back to regular sandwiches.

And I'm sure it would be deDUCTABLE and good for a free Chippendale table
dance. (your mileage may vary)

WWTBAM fans...organizing support team for 2 promising contestants set to
audition on 9-20 and beyond. Want to put together team to participate. This
has worked in past, as you can see Armand Kachigian mention my school and win
$500K at TVtrips.com...At this stage, need testing Q and A's--contestant is
very good on personality, show, and upper-level Q's--needs help on current
events. If anyone has or recalls some common answers or questions on the test
(once taken by her); will offer % to you. You may log on site and e-mail
(use "partnership" on CONTACT page) and I will forward an agreement. Thank you.

No one here works for money or cheats on the test. We provide emotional
support and study guidelines, plus Phone-a-Friend services for free.
You were told where to find the transcripts. The rest is up to you.

You may find that people here are reluctant to share test questions. There are
concerns that the producers do not have a high opinion of posters here in the
first place and if we get a reputation for pooling test information that
opinion may go even lower.

Good luck to the contestants, though.

Nancy...I saw your show and you did great--and I used you as an example to
Armand on personality. As for Armand, I've known the guy 2 years. I was being
lighthearted...you should stick to answering 1m questions and let me do my job.

If this is the case then I think you need to leave the game show business and
enter the psychic business, seeing how Armand immediately followed Nancy into
the hotseat.

Let's see how this works:

Nancy tapes and wins $1M

Armand comes out and answers seven questions and then the horn sounds.

You consult Armand on how to have personality like Nancy even though Armand
has already cleared the hurdle where having a personality is important (the
interview).

Armand comes back the next day and wins $500K.

Exactly how did Nancy Christy's example help Armand, again?

If by you being good at what you do you mean confusing me, then you are correct.

Subject: Re: TVtrips.com Message

Mark, please don't let these naysayers stop you from continuing all the great
work you do to make the world a better place. I'm sure you're just hearing
from the vocal minority. I personally learned so much on your web site that I
am now kicking myself for not signing up for your program earlier. I wish I
had your foresight and audacity to declare myself a non-profit religious
organization. I'm sure I could have saved myself some serious bucks by doing that.

This item from your bio caught my eye:
{{"The 90's began with performances at select Florida stand-up comedy venues.
As well, Mark Anthony performed live and in an array of classy videos as a
Chippendale dancer. As an offshoot of the staged shows, Mark created an
impersonation show of Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler (replete with lip-
synching, choreography, and an elaborate wardrobe)."}}

For years I've been trying to break into the world of Chippendale dancing,
especially doing the classy videos, but it seems to be a closed society. Got
any tips on how to get my foot in the door? Where can I buy the outfit? How
much can I expect to make in a good night? Are the tips good? What about
other "side benefits," if you know what I mean? I'd have no problem with
giving you your 10% cut. I agree with you that keeping 90% of something is
better than 100% of nothing, which is what I currently earn from my chiseled physique.

I'm baffled why a guy with your impressive list of credentials and penchant
for publicity would be curiously missing from imdb.com, which usually does
such a great job of documenting even the least known players in show biz. The
only "DiBello" listed is Carla. You might want to look into that. There's not
much about you on Google, either. Did you play your college football games
under an alias?

I'm still trying to absorb all this great new information, but thanks for
making today an interesting day on this board. By the way, you might want to
correct the spelling in your disclaimer below. The word is actually
spelled "deductible."

{{"NOTE: Tvtrips.com and TPIR.org is a registered 501 (c) (3) non-for-profit company. All donations and contributions are completely tax-deductable. In addition, $TPIR-TRIP$, TVTRIPS.com and TPIR.org reinvests 90% of all finances back into this unique television ministry. In addition, we donate 10% of all proceeds to Christian churches and charities across the nation."}}

Hey, I know Snaxx works answering people's questions and trying to be helpful. But he also has some coworkers whose job it is to turn a more jaundiced eye on people. I'm just saying that this game show "ministry" might be one of those places where those fellows ought to be let loose!

Oooh, I feel the glow of something or another after reading those posts. Now I need to wash it off.

I met MAD when I did 1 vs 100 last year. That cat's not quite occupying the same space-time continuum the rest of us are. There's a phazy, etherial quality to him - kind of like talking to someone in the fog, both literal and metaphorical.

Thanks for the history lesson. Way to pwn him, bored!

And just how did noted "aetheist" and $500k winner Armand Kachigian get sucked into the MAD orbit?

I still wish the original thread had been salvaged from the old Bored. MAD showed up asking questions about the auditions and we started giving him the same helpful advice we'd offer anybody. And then he started talking about contracts, and as I said at the time, it was like that scene where Mr. Potter tries to tempt George Bailey with that job offer. George shakes Potter's hand, then stops and stares down at his palm, like he's just touched something foul and slimy...
