I feel sick

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I've just been watching the US version of Who wants to be a millionaire? As if that wasn't bad enough, there was a right geek guessing his way towards the million - he answered the $250K question and said "final answer" to the $500K and bliddy ABC News cut in with a news flash. Can you believe it?

And what was the big news? GWB's acceptance speech having been declared winner in Fla. And that's what made me feel sick. I have never witnessed such a smarmy, siccophantic (sp) set of words - ever. Yeurk. What time does the next plane leave???

Nurse - get that drink.

PS. The geek went on to the $1M question. And he bottled it.

What plant is named after the first US ambassador to Mexico who brought it to the US?

A. Fuscia B. Juniper C. Camellia D. Poinsettia <xmp> <p> God, if it had only been me, I got it bliddy right <font color=white>Poinsettia</font>. Arggghhhhh! Now I feel even more sick. <br><br> -- Anonymous, November 26, 2000 </blockquote> <hr> Moderation questions? read <a href="user_faq.html">the FAQ</a> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
