Really? Then it'll be a breeze.

Thinking of wearing my glasses to look smart. Whaddya think?

OK. Update, so I watched it, and yes, on the surface it does seem that easy. Clearly the crossword bit is the place to pick up points if you draw an absolute blank on the jumbled words (please, god). But the bit I found really hard was filling in the blanks. Example

L------K

I tried doing this afterwards, and when you are trying to think quickly, it is tough to come up with anything. Now have severe nightmares about just drawing a blank and have some smug quiz geek steamroller me. Also figured out that "grand" prize will EXACTLY cover overdraft and credit card bill. eep.

Shit. Didn't make it due to sno'. I'll get another chance in a few weeks. I could have caned it, though.

If it's "snow" and therefore Nordic decided it was easier to type ' than w I will fall into a deep depression which no amount of jugband music will pull me out of.

Wait! This is a comedy message board?

I don't hear anyone laughing, Nick.

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 3 February 2003 00:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's not easier to type ' than w. I just felt like being playful with my keyboard. Don't be depressed, Chris Piuma.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Sunday, 9 February 2003 18:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, so you're saying a wasted a whole week of being depressed? Sigh!

Yes, I got to the semi-final and then the other guy wiped the floor with me. but I got to say "The Rolling Stones" on tv!!

Sometimes I think about how different my life would be now if I'd won that 3000-pound prize...

Woah, you were going to win an elephant?

― Stupid American Humor (Dan Perry), Thursday, 8 January 2004 01:25 (twenty years ago) link

yeah adam, you could've had a whole new life overseas, just think...

I went on that show too and didn't win. Someone else from ILX should go. There must be a champion among us!
