Comments on "Food-Burning Stove??"

I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one with that stupid line burned into my brain. I have NEVER forgotten it.

when the oil's gone, the mouth breathers will learn what a wood burning stove is.

I think you'd be surprised what sorts of stupid things come out of your mouth when you're nervous and on T.V.

I also have that E.T. answer burnt into my brain even though I just saw it one time when I was a kid. I still use it as an example whenever talking about the dumbest people in the world. Nice to know I'm not alone.

Once I saw this lady on Wheel of Fortune who had "F_ANKLY _Y DEAR I DON'T GIVE A DA_N" and she tried to solve it with "Frankly my dear, I don't give a darn!" And she lost the game, and a good sum of money, simply because she was too polite to say "damn" on TV. And that is why I always fucking swear.

This one is my favorite. I love irony!

Thank you for these three little shafts of light this morning! I loved the consecutive guesses of "food-burning stove", "food-burning stove" again [?], and "hood-burning stove".

My favorite moment of Wheel idiocy was the guy who completed "ORIGINAL FORMULA CO__" as "original formula corn". Which in these days of genetically modified corn actually seems like a good idea.

This is still the best moment in gameshow history.

I don't watch T.V. on the internet so I don't know if one of the youtube links is to my alltime favorite gameshow blunder:

The Newlywed Game (mid 1970's)

Question to the brides: "Where is the strangest place that your husband has made love to you?"

First answer, (a bit confused look): "In the butt?"

Host looks like he may fall dead.

That's the urban legend version, Rain Monkey. See here for the real story: http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/newlywed.asp

@9 - Al ... thank you!! I'm still laughing.

I've had a food-burning stove for quite a while now. In fact, every place I've ever lived has been inexplicably equipped with a food-burning stove. Is there another kind? Maybe a trip to Homo Depot is in order.
