That is bloody brilliant. Someone needs to make a movie. Or write a book. ("Quiz Show" was great, too.)

In the thing I'm editing at the moment, one of the lead characters makes a deal with the devil in order to win big on a game show. His plan don't work too goodly.

On an unrelated note, my high school's Class of '95 is having a reunion. I'm not too enthused about it. But I live about 20 minutes from the school, so it's a matter of mere weeks before I am found and dragged into things. Dammit dammit, what to do, what to doooo? All these years of pleasant hermit-like existence, up in smoke.

man, wild horses couldn't drag me to a class reunion. i have no desire to see any of those saps. but that's just me. perhaps if i were maintaining the world's leading Official Canadian Bee Shooting website- i mean Charlie Kaufman, i would go...

sadly, i never got into sale of the century...my faves were name that tune, let's make a deal, match game (i still watch that on GSN), tic-tac-dough...

i also had the family feud home game, which had a plastic board and you could slide pieces on it to reveal the answers...i just thought that was the best thing ever. i would BEG my family to play that with me, and they rarely wanted to. :( i always HAD to be richard dawson, and i would be all schmoozy and kiss everyone and be all like, "LET'S PLAY THE FEUD!!" and amke the "EHHHHHHHHH!" wrong-answer sound...so silly...:)
