Robin Williams makes this guy look nekkid.

I think you mom just said that because she's afraid of your competition in the audition. She'd probably change her mind after you got The Call. But if she doesn't, I'll drive you, Annie! (I've never visited Oklahoma, so this would be a great reason to do so.)

And tell the J! producers you want an accomodation under the ADA and I bet they'd be able to give you a bigger button to press, mounted on your lectern, instead of those hand-held ones. :)

What's all this talk of nekkid squirrels? I hear tell you can see, not that I would know mind you, a little fur down at the local gentleman's squirrel club. It may cost a few nuts to get in. What am I holdin' in my avatar? Nuttin', jes nuttin.

Thank you so much, Mr. Marley. You are a goodgoodgood friend.

I also like your idea about asking for a special button. If I could hit the button with my nose, that would be excellent. I may have lost some footspeed, all things considered, but I've still got the fastest nose in North America.

Don't tell her I said so, but you probably are right about my mom considering me as strong competition. Part of it, I think, is that she's jealous because I'm tall and she's not, and because I have beautiful brown eyes, while hers are the color of the sidewalk, bless her heart.

Mr. Uly, I never before realized you were a squirrel! If I'd known earlier, I would have given you the very best nice squirrel part in my opera. (Alas, Rocket J. Squirrel, noted thespian, already has been signed for that role. You can still be his understudy, though, and you can be a featured extra as part of the chattering mob in the big crowd scene.)

Nice furhawk!

Will the tattoos be a problem? I have some, um, rather interesting ones on my tail.....

The tattoos will be okay. We'll pretend they're part of the medieval decor or something. If that doesn't work, we'll costume you as a wounded animal (in need of St. Guinefort's healing) and cover you up with bandages.

Due to a bit of good luck, I am also in the Jeopardy pool, though I'd be quite surprised if they took me.

I have nothing that could possibly top the LOLness in this thread (at least not this late on a Sunday night), so all I can say is congrats and best of luck!

They could always choose you for R&R J!

Do they still have Jep!? Perhaps I could give that a go.

I'd never heard of Jep! until someone mentioned on the Jeopardy board recently. There's an episode posted on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khfsJGhiB7A
What network or cable channel was this on? It appears that each contestant's cable provider's logo was shown along with the contestants' names when they were introduced.

Weyoun, is there some particular reason why you think your chances for getting on J! are worse than anyone else's?

Yes, they know I have prior game show experience.

I would be excellent on that Jep! show. I could sit in the chair and reach that big button with my paw or my nose. Furthermore, I am close to the same age as the other contestants. I would still whup them, though, as I am a sort of a pup prodigy. (Mr. MKearney and I probably have a lot in common.)

My only potential problem would be if the judges didn't understand my answers. Some people think I speak English with a strong accent. I don't hear it, myself.

Now, I must get Annie to grow skin faster so they will let her and Lizbit stay at the boarding kennel overnight. Once I explain the situation, I'm sure she will cooperate fully.

There are plenty of quizzes and I need help staying ahead of psm in the TQOTD.
A few days ago, I answered a question and got an error message and my points didn't register. They don't give do-overs either, so I lost points for the day.

I hope that this doesn't happen to you.
That happened to me this morning. It was a Music & Musicians that I woulda got right for a change. :(

Big congrats! The live audition is somewhat easier than the online test, so you should have fun. Join me in the pool--we'll get pruny!

I just learned this morning that my asst. principal has also been invited to the Dallas auditions.

Here's hoping for LOTS of Oklahoma representation on J! this season.

I had my IQ in for a spring cleaning the night I took the online test.
Well, then
