Last time I went out with people from work, we were on the firm tab and could only spend so much. Someone said it was just like the mountain climber game--if we spent too much we'd plummet to our deaths. We kept checking in with the waitress to see where we stood, and when we got the total, someone would do the yodel.
In retrospect, that was had-to-be-there funny only.
I love the Punchboard game with the $10,000 prize. It's one of my dreams to Punch-a-Bunch someday. Also, Hole in One (or Two) gets me all hot when Bob does his little inspiration put.
I don't know if I can do that today, Scott -- I'm still feeling a little too icky. But I've decided to just get on with being well, and hopefully that will follow. I could regale you with the stupidity of the advertising that's run during the Price is Right...
At The Price is Right Live Show (which is now at Harrah's in San Diego and Atlantic City), they have a damned good replica of the Cliff Hangers game, complete with the yodeling SFX.
And, yes, when the contestant loses, the yodeler crashes to his death, just like in the show.
Charo... I haven't seen her lately, ever since the Carol Burnett show went off the air there really hasn't been an outlet for Charo... Though she was in The Concorde: Airport '79... Scott I though you'd like that airplane reference...
I'm happy to report that I've put some clothes on, opened the curtains and windows, and actually went out into the real world! I just went to the bank, then Second Cup, then home again. But it's a start. :)
