Well, you've run into our "trolls" who get a delight into putting humorous
twists into the names of popular favorite game shows of ours, but I get a kick
out of them for a reason I'll get into shortly.
Another "twist" of this kind turned up years ago in one of the old Warner
Brothers' cartoons: Bugs Bunny dressed up something like Groucho Marx and
appeared as the host of "You Beat Your Wife" — a gag I still laugh over, even
if I did end up divorcing (in 1994) an abusive wife of my own I had married
only 16 months before. (It's a long story, best told in another newsgroup.)
Now here's why I enjoy the "gag" game-show titles these "trolls" seem to
keep coming up with: For 20 years, I had been a member of the Worldwide Church
of God (whose founder, Herbert W. Armstrong, was well known for his "World
Tomorrow" radio and television programs) and I learned during that time that
some of the people who wrote in for the literature that was offered on the
program wouldn't quite get the titles right — leading to occassional hilarious
results!
One person requested a booklet titled "Why Were You Barned?" (instead of
"Why Were You Born?), and another one wanted "Managing Your Personal Fiancee"
(instead of "Managing Your Personal Finances"). And there were so many more —
perhaps I can get them up on a personal webpage sometime.
Still, there was one such request that turned out to be more accurate (as
far as I was personally concerned) in its altered form: "Your Marriage Can Be
Hairy!" (instead of "Your Marriage Can Be Happy!).

How about that cooking game show, "Let's Make a Meal"?
To get rid of misspellings, why not just do away with game show names
altogether. TPiR could be renamed after that giant G-T asterisk, and
introduced by Rod Roddy as "...you are the first four contestants on 'The
game show formerly known as The Price is Right.'"

Win Ben Stein's Money has also had some categories based on the title:
-Win Ben Stein's Monkey
-Win Bernstein's Money
-10,000 Maniacs Who Haven't Appeared on Win Ben Stein's Money
-Win Yen Stein's Money <--- Mine.

Laughlin, NV, one night:

I used to flame Chris to a crisp when he was trolling. Being the idiot that I
was, I didn't ask anyone for advice on what to do about trolls, so I wound up
getting flamed. Had I done the right thing I wouldn't have. But somehow I get
a laugh out of the misspellings now. I must credit Randy for giving me advice
about how to handle the trolls, when actually he shouldn't have had to, I
should have asked for advice in the first place.

On a similar subject: The Broadway plays on stage at a time included I'M NOT
RAPPAPORT and TODAY I AM A FOUNTAIN PEN. A newspaper ran an article about New
York's TKTS booth, which sells tickets to stage shows. That article included a
reference to a customer wanting tickets to I'M NOT A FOUNTAIN PEN.

Me, I'd like to see a shareware game show homage called LET'S SPIN THE WHEEL.

No, Chris was GameLobstr (with a lowercase "o", not a "zero"). GameL0Bstr is
a blatant imitator.

No Chuck you stupid ass! You got it all wrong! Cranky is impersonating me!
Think before you speak next time you stupid troglodite! Wheel 2000 is NEW!

Chris Jackson
of the hosts as well. I still don't forget when you flamed me in e-mail about
"The Net Joker's Weird/Cord Sharps Hour" starring "Don Fenberg." Bo had Penny
Hardaway in a Superman outfit choking the life out of me (that was pretty
funny, way to go Bo. :)) And finally, I mangled Noiel Spearman's name and Net
Gambit (whatever happened to that, anyway Noiel?) Maybe someone should list
the misspellings of ATG-Sers that I started and that Steve stole from me.

I'm a Crank
I'm a Professor
I'm a Lobster

Chris Jackson
I think GrabBag40/PopeyeFeud made that one up.

>a blatant imitator.

Chuck, it goes beyond blatant imitator. He's a reject piece of shit who wants
to be like Da Crank.
Chris Jackson
>NEW! NEW! NEW!
What the hell? I thought I had this smartass killfiled. BTW Steve, I would
commit suicide if I were you.
