Where would you least expect to read an audition report?

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Thu Jun 26, 2008 6:40 am

How about in the middle of a court report column? :)

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/ju ... fiti-case/
Until they got caught, the high-rolling defendants in the Bank of China federal fraud case were spending millions of dollars they allegedly stole from the bank.

So maybe it’s only fair that one of the jurors who could decide their fate be given a chance to become a millionaire.

U.S. District Judge Philip Pro recessed the lengthy trial for a day Wednesday so that the female juror, reportedly an alternate, could attend tryouts for the prime-time network game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

The juror sent the judge a note last week saying she had made plans to attend the tryouts at the Cannery in North Las Vegas before the trial began.
So, did she pass the test? 8)

And here I thought Marley would be happy that the "prime-time network game show" was coming back....

You know, if she did pass the test, that'd be a pretty good interview hook, saying that a judge had recessed that big trial just so she could be there! :lol:

No, we're going to make beast happy by letting it happen without any artificial gratuitousness.

Do I smell a challenge?

Of course, it will probably happen while I'm having lunch at Chez Birdfeeder with my luck. But I did come close one time....

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

--squirrelmama (10/3/07)

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Sorry, but it seems to be all gone. I've got a couple of cigs. Want one? And where's my damn wallet?
