I have been sitting at home as a "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" lifeline all day

[mitchum]

An old friend is competing today and I agreed to stay here by the phone until 7:30pm EST

[ghostsofgiants]

1. That show still exists?

[LSK]

2. I was just about to say that

:rofl:

[mitchum]

3. That was my question when he called the other night and asked if I would...

help him out
Who knew?

[Beaverhausen]

12. you know what's funny - I have watched it 3 times and 2 times I saw contestants win the million

one was just last week. It makes me wonder how many times they give the whole shebang away???

[MrCoffee]

4. if he calls, tell him to try to cop a feel on Meredith Viera

she loves that.

[mitchum]

6. I told him that she likes to go pantyless...

His responses to that:
That's exactly why I want to be able to call you
Maybe I can work that into the chatting

[Mojambo]

5. So, I don't get it

How do they make sure you're not just sitting there ready to google the answer?

[mitchum]

7. I don't need no steenkin' Google!

We were also wondering that
We guess they assume 30 seconds isn't long enough. Probably not in their experience...I mean...they're TV people...

8. I'd like to try that with my ex-husband

I'd take the science stuff, and he'd do the literature/pop culture stuff (we used to be a killer team at trivial pursuit).

Of course, if they asked us about sports, we'd be screwn.

[mitchum]

10. That's why I am not his sports lifeline...

if it were a sports question before 1972, I may know it. But I quit paying attention after about the age of 12.

[terrya]

9. If I ever get on "WWTBAM"...

IntravenousDemilo is going to be my phone a friend. He's dazzlingly smart on every level.

[mitchum]

11. You would be better off than my friend whose math/science...

lifeline had to sign off at 5.
And he knows better than to call me with questions in those areas.

[mitchum]

13. I'm free! I'm free!

Either he didn't make it...or didn't need me
