I gotta calm down now... my eyes are all teary and I'm shaking...

WOW...

Thanks everyone! If I can get in, there's hope for everybody. Never give up, never surrender!

I'll have to start looking for PAF volunteers soon. I know I'll need help in movies, pop culture, sports, literature, art, and probably dozens of other areas.

Congrats to my birthday (several years younger, I'm sure) share-person!

Break a leg or something!
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Wooo freaking Hooo!
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Yeah, I was just kidding. I'm sure you wowed them with your Y'allbonics. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and I'm sure you'll get plenty of PAF help here on the bored.

WTG, Mike!

I watched Million Dollar Password last night, and the set, lights, music, and of course, Regis in the host's seat, brought back vivid memories of Super Millionaire. That was probably the closest I'll ever get to the Hot Seat. But you're going to climb up there and kick butt!

EXCITED beyond belief !! (But strangely enough, no nervousness or fear.) What a rush!!!

I think this was around attempt 11. I'd passed the written test every time, but something must have clicked with the interviews this time. There's hope for all the OMAWGs out there!

Excellent news! Too few from Alabama have made it to the hotseat. I hope you are the next.
