Congratulations!
And I see that you are #1 on the Bored Sploofus list as well.
March is turning out to be a great month for you, trivia-wise.

Boston (of course). April 23rd. A good month, containing GW's, BIL's, SIL's and grandniece's birthdays (first one for the last-mentioned person).earendel wrote:Details! Details! When is the audition?

Then I need not panic - I'm up for Chicago, and it will probably be late in May or early June (if last year is any indication).gsabc wrote:Boston (of course). April 23rd.

Re: No longer taping my watch
For a few hours after playing last night, I was the overall leader, too. We'll see how long it lasts. Been getting a lot of softballs this month (color of Spongebob, the movie where Clint Eastwood sings, etc.), although I forgot to check the percentage of people getting Flipper's real name. Still, it's nice to be at the head of this group for at least a little while.trevor_macfee wrote:And I see that you are #1 on the Bored Sploofus list as well.

Re: No longer taping my watch
Good luck on "real test". They will tell you "don't take notes on the questions you don't know so that you can go back to them". (Because on the paper test you can go back to them, even though the clue is no longer up there). Its impossible not to do just that, at least mentally, but try not to.

Oh, I wouldn't worry too much about hair- or waistlines, or youth. You did see MY episodes, didntcha? Just remember the patented PheeAdvice: Be Yourself, Only BIGGER. And have fun. Remember that in the mock game, it matters less that you get thingsright, and more that you keep the flow of the game going, and that you're loud and enthusiastic. And have fun. And ithink they like self-deprecating humor (especially agony). And have FUN!!!
I'll cross various appendages for you!

Yeah, I think I saw your show, but there was big balding guy on blocking my view.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Great news!
I'm also waiting for Chicago. The last time I auditioned (3 years ago) I got the invite in April, and the audition was in June.
Go pass that test!

Re: No longer taping my watch
It's all by e-mail nowadays. I'm supposed to get the final information sometime in the next two weeks. No idea who else chose Boston and passed the test this time around. ghostie apparently didn't pass, and The Kahuna is no longer eligible, having been on the show before.frogman042 wrote:WTG!!!!

Good question, though. Am I to be the sole BB representative in Boston?

Re: No longer taping my watch
WOOO HOOO!!!!
I'm so happy for you! Congrats and good luck!
I can't remember if I chose Boston or New York...but I'm not "waiting" because I definitely did not score high enough on the test.
