(audience cheers) (Doug presses button revealing Round 1 questions on the toaster) Doug: In the interest of full disclosure, Rick's not related to me or to Ryan. John, you won the right to go first. Pick A or B and we'll start the game. John: I'd like A, please.
Doug: (grabs A) A it is and we're off and running. (walks over to the panel) New game. Everyone plays. Here's the question... Carla said, "The President just passed a new bill allowing basic-living grants for the homeless. Just the other day, I saw a cardboard box that had a << BLANK >> built into it."
(MG '7x wank think music plays) (stars write down answers) (three of them, Joe included, finish writing) Doug: BTW, we've got some news involving Joe -- as well as a surprise. Joe is going to be the new host of Net ShowDown. (audience cheers) I know you'll join me in wishing him good luck. Joe, here to present the "ShowDown dice" to you as a passing of the baton, here's Amy Jo Johnson. (more cheers) (AJJ walks out holding the dice) Amy Jo: Thanks, Doug. Joe, good luck when you roll 'em for "ShowDown". (they hug; AJJ kisses Joe on the cheek; AJJ waves to the crowd and exits stage right) Joe: Hang on a second, I need to recover... (comically staggers around the stage for a moment; audience laughs hysterically; Joe recovers) Joe: Wow. A most unexpected surprise. And appreciated. Let me make this clear: NetShowdown is in good hands. I am delighted and excited to be taking over the helm of this great game and I can only hope that I can maintain the high standard that you set for NetGames with this show. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. (audience applause) Joe: Amy Jo! Come back! (audience laughs) Doug: Joe, I'll know you'll do well with those "ShowDown" dice.
Doug: And... um... I guess they're all ready. John, before we have any more surprises, let's see if you can win some moolah... Carla said, "The President just passed a new bill allowing basic-living grants for the homeless. Just the other day, I saw a cardboard box that had a << BLANK >> built into it." John: A toilet. (three folks clap; three others boo) Doug: Some in the crowd think that answer went down the toilet. But, hey, it's a Round 1 question. Anything can happen. Let's see what happens starting with Ethan. Ethan: I was originally going to say "Swimming Pool," but then I realized that we have a swimming pool for the homeless already in Los Angeles; it's called MacArthur Park. (some of the audience laughs, with others grossed out) Ethan: If you groaners lived in LA, you would know! In any case, you know what usually happens if a person gives a small amount of money to a homeless man, they go and buy liquor with it. So if the government give a homeess man a grant, and I wouldn't be suprised if Santa Monica did it tomorrow, what would the homeless man buy? +--------------------+ | A BAR | +--------------------+ (buzz) (smattering of applause) Doug: BTW, I have to ask, who's the dingbat who left the cake out in the rain? Anyhoo, Jay, what did you think was in that cardboard box? Jay: My cardboard box has a JACUZZI built in (buzz) (audience applause) Doug: Now I like that answer. Joe, I trust you've recovered. Got an answer for us? Joe: Incidentally, my fellow AJJ fans should be watching her website, amyjojohnson.com, for the release of her live concert CD, which she'll be selling over the Web. I also recommend her original CD, "The Trans-American Treatment." I've been to her concerts, and GO(MG98 "censored" cuckoo)N, that woman can sing. Anyways, I saw a cardboard box that had --------------- | Air | |Conditioning | --------------- in it. (buzz) Doug: Got some AC in there -- but no toilet as we visit Ryan. Carla said, "The President just passed a new bill allowing basic-living grants for the homeless. Just the other day, I saw a cardboard box that had a << BLANK >> built into it." Ryan: Next item up for bid... +==============+ | Refrigerator | +==============+ (buzz) Doug: A fridge from Ryan. What from Matt? Matt: I matched Jay... (card) A JACUZZI (buzz) Doug: My next question: Where's that box? Cindy and I might want to visit. And Eddie, what'cha say? Eddie: It's basic for me. I know I couldn't live without it. [flips card] TV SET (buzz) (smattering of applause) Doug: TV -- but no commode as we review...
