by DavidMac | Sep 10 '03
This is what happens when you watch too many old game shows on the Game Show Network..........if you don't get the references, I'm very sorry!

I Love Match Game! (Reply to this comment)

I'm in withdrawl since I got rid of digital cable and no longer get GSN. Sorry Richard Dawson took one from Millinocket - I kinda like him - he's such a dirty old man.

This was great!

and I'm not sure that they are good ones.

Sad thing, is I could really picture this with two of the little "faces" from the logo as the contestants...

I think everyone has done it...been caught watching soaps. Any good ones in Canada? I grew up watching Days of Our Lives...wait a minute...did I just admit that? LOL. I can't help it. My mom and her friend watched it. It is sad but the same junk is still going on today! TTYL!

Well, I was thinking Shatner because I saw a clip on the internet of him coming unglued and throwing a chair on the 20,000 Pyramid, so I think I could top that...... I've seen the old Squares a few times, but am not as familiar with that yet as I am with the Match Game.

Oh my!! When Goodson-Todman came up with The Match Game, I don't think that they were thinking of that type of match game -- matching you up with three studly Hollywood celebs? I think that this is going to turn into the Dating Game!
Yea, I agree that Dawson must be stopped! haha!

Nipsey was a funny black guy who could create humorous poems at the drop of a hat. A true genius in my book who would of never , never , of made any of those creepy and bizarre Priceline .com commercials like Captain Kirk opted to do.

Access old Hollywood Squares episodes that also included Paul Lynde to see what I'm talking about.

Come on, man, if you include Nipsey you will be eligible to win... A NEW CAR!!!
Including a beautiful living room set from Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills if you guess the price right...

Think about it.

Dawson got the knee (Reply to this comment)
by millinocket
after peeking down my shirt one too many times. The cad. Something simply had to be done! Might I suggest Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire and Brendan Fraser join me on the next installment? Just a thought.............;)

Sue - would have left a comment last night - but had to play Mommy

Actually, the soap opera channels aren't available on sattelite or cable up here, but do you want to know something? I used to watch soaps when I was in junior high... now that's spooky enough!!

Well, since there seems to be actual demand for another installment of Match Game, I think I'll use Shatner (I've never seen Nipsy anyway, so I wouldn't know how to write him)..... I already have an idea of what Shatner will get up to on the set........

So you remember that assignment to get the fools out! This was beautiful, David. I'm looking forward to next weeks, but how about Cher instead of White?

Well, not that I necessarily want you to watch more porn...but if you do, at least send me the write up before you post it here!

God I really do need to come up there and take you out! We need to initiate "Operation Rescue David".

David you need an intervention.

If I do come up, there will be no watching of GSN or porn! I will keep you plenty occupied! ;)

Hugs,
Karen

Yes, I watch way too much GSN.... but would you want me to watch too much porn instead?? Then this essay would have been really scary!
Sue read and rated this article last night..... why didn't she leave a good comment? :( After all, she was the one who kneed Dawson, she should have at least offered a decent explanation! haha!

Funny David!
OK, I think that you are watching too much GSN though! I need to come up there and take you out on the town.

One thing though, I think my answer to the second question would have been the same as Jan's!

Kudos to Sue for kneeing Richard!

Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh!

you're really into the Match Game of the seventies. By the way, Gene Rayburn died in 1999.
Thanks for sharing!

Resurrect Hogan! So we can all find out for sure if John Carpenter really whacked him with a tripod. I, personally, think Dawson did it.

I don't think I can handle seeing a puffy William Shatner anymore. How about Nipsey Russell instead?

Thanks!
