Last night at work Wheel of Fortune was on, and the puzzle up looked like this:
_ _ CK Y _ _UR
_ _ _ _ E R
or something like that. My coworker and I looked at the exact same time and yelled out “FUCK YOUR MOTHER!!” Obviously that was not the answer, but does anyone recall what it was? Seems like it was “Pack a sweater” or something stupid like that.
Naggers!
Lick your finger? I got nothin’.
“I’d like to solve the puzzle- ‘Go tuck yourself in.’”
“You were close, Dad.”
“Yeah, I still can’t believe you missed ‘Kiss my hairy aunt.’”
“Three loins in the fountain!”
It’s pretty much one of the only shows that can get me yelling at my TV. Things along the lines of “Holy fuck, you morons, how do you not know it yet!?!?!?!!”

Well, sometimes I guess they’re spinning just just get more letters and rack up more dough. What I don’t get is someone whose pull spins the wheel almost exactly once, so while I can see the BANKRUPT tab getting gradually closer and closer, they apparantly can’t.
Well, actually the one that gets me is when the category is “Song Lyrics” and the puzzle is omething like:
_ L_KE B_G BUTTS
So, what do they do? “I’d like to buy an I, Pat”.
Really? REALLY?

What, you’ve never heard the Bruce Springsteen classic about Luke the Vietnam veteran who can only find work cleaning up cigarettes and garbage off the sidewalk, A Luke Bag Butts?
It’s COUNT RUSHMORE!!!
There’s two letters between “Y” and “UR”? Are you sure you don’t mean Y _ _ R? [Accounting for the “U” in your proposed “FUCK” not yet being revealed]
My favorite one was the puzzle that had:
CAPTAIN IR OF THE ENTERPRISE.
The idjit spun the wheel…and asked for a P. :smack:
It was doubly stupid because the P was already up there!
My funniest moment was when some guy blew it - it could have gone either way as far as the puzzle having the word “fine” or “mine”. Something along those lines. So he “solves” it and gets it wrong.
So the guy after him says THE EXACT SAME THING.

I feel for him. I once did the exact same thing in my high school quiz bowl thing. I was so flustered by being on a stage and having hundreds of people looking at me that I repeated someone else’s (wrong) answer instead of saying the answer I’d intended to give (which also turned out to be wrong so oh well). Everyone laughed and I felt extremely foolish.
But then I did pretty well in the rest of the game and my school ended up winning, so HA.
Reminds me of this Scrabble-Gram where the first word to be unscrambled was
EUTTSXB
It’s “subtext”, of course.
