Ooh. You're guessing R twice, the famous Sugimori-Jennings gambit!

SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE. . . || **R****-R****** ********** || Used: R
Badri3211: 292 dollars
buhubs: 0 dollars
ianthegecko: 0 dollars

You guessed the letter twice, so you get double the money!
. . . at a price. You must now buy a vowel or lose a turn. And vowels cost. . . *checks rules book* $292.01. Oooooooooooh, so sorry! You can't afford a vowel. So you lose your turn. Buh--

*a stagehand taps mathgrant on the shoulder*

. . . What? *checks rulesbook again* OH! Apparently, you scored a bonus for something called a "TOTP". I don't know WHAT that means, but whatever it is, you just got $500!

SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE. . . || **R****-R****** ********** || Used: R
Badri3211: 792 dollars
buhubs: 0 dollars
ianthegecko: 0 dollars

Looks like you can afford a vowel after all! Which vowel do you want to buy? Or would you rather just lose your turn?

You're lucky you got that "TOTP" whatever thingy earlier, or you'd've lost a turn. That would've sucked. So, spin, vowel, or solve?

Sheesh, audience, haven't you paid any attention at all this week? This is Hesitation Week, where every episode is sponsored by a different hesitiation word! Today's is "er", yesterday's was "um", and tomorrow's will be "uh"!

Spin the wheel.

*wheel-spinning sounds*

You landed on. . . NINE MILLS! Not mills as in millions, or even mills as in Hayley Mills, but mills as in nine-tenths of a cent. You know, the stuff at the end of gas prices.

Ooh! The T is orange! You know what that means? You have just triggered a SPAMFEST! That's right, every time a contestant posts, that contestant receives $7.77! But there's a catch: If you double-post (unless you are performing a Sugimori-Jennings gambit), then you go BANKRUPT AND TEN DOLLARS IN DEBT. And that's the worst kind of bankruptcy there is. That ought to stir things up around here. . .

So, spin, buy a vowel, or solve?

You landed on a $1 gift certificate from Cheap Dan's Dollar Store! "We can handle all of your one-dollar needs: small sodas, small ice cream sandwiches, single kernels of popcorn, cardboard boxes with the words DIGITAL CAMERA written on them. . ."

Do I get another $7.77?

mathgrant · **Joined:** Fri Jan 14, 2005 8:26 pm **Posts:** 1644

Even better; you get $7.78! You get one cent for every time you bump the thread. If this thread dies a lot, you could make MILLIONS doing NOTHING!

Oops. You double posted. That means --

*shoulder tap*

Huh?. . . oh. Right. I posted in between your posts, so you didn't double post after all. My apologies, sir. You get $444.44. :-)

ianthegecko posted, which makes it his turn now. Sorry, Badri. And since an audience member posted, that ends the Spam-a-thon. But that doesn't mean there won't be another one if [s]I want to revive posting in this topic[/s] I feel like it.

Hey, I wasn't informed of that...

And where the heck is my latte?

I'm spinning, mathgrant.

*spin sounds*

You landed on. . . JU JU MASTER'S LATTE! THAT'S where it was. It's worth $1,000.00, because it's from the local Sunbucks, and you know how overpriced THEY are.

*buys Ju Ju Master a new latte*

Hello?. . . oh, hi, mom!. . . Yes. . . . Bye.

It was mom. She said my invisible milk mustache is ugly. So, ian, spin. . . or no spin? Vowel. . . or no vowel? Solve. . . OR NO SOLVE?

IantheGecko · **Posted:** Fri May 12, 2006 2:50 am

VOWEL, Howie! I mean, VOWEL, grant! I'll take an I.

Ooh, nice strategy, TAKING a vowel instead of PAYING for it. You go directly to Jail without passing Go.

Er, I mean, of course!One I! (This puzzle's a cyclops!)

*rattata-rattata-rattata. . .*

You landed on Community Chest! (Since when was THAT a space on the wheel? I don't recall it. . .)

I need you to draw the top card from the Community Chest deck and obey what it says. However, the deck is all the way across the studio, and I can't read the cards from over here, so you'll need to read it out loud to me.

IantheGecko · **Posted:** Fri May 12, 2006 3:04 am

*Goes over to the deck & draws*

Pick any 3 letters that have not yet been used in the puzzle; you get $181 per letter.

G, M, & A, please!
