Deal or No Deal.
May 22, 2008
I am a TV vegetable right now. A potato. I am a couch potato. I have been sitting here for close to two hours. I skipped dinner for no apparent reason. I am glued to the tube.
As you know, I usually set aside an hour on Thursday night for CSI. Tonight, though, it’s a re-run, so I’m sitting in front of Deal or No Deal. I’ve been here before. It’s torture. My stomach is in knots and I am literally covering my eyes with my hands. I cannot take the suspense. The game is based on nothing but luck, and with so many people telling the contestant what to do, it’s maddening.
My husband and I are trying to play along, but we have different philosophies about this game. I am an “all or nothing” girl, and he is a total deal taker. He asks me if I would listen to him if I was the contestant, and I say, “Probably, becasue I would need someone to blame if I took the deal and then ended up with the million dollars in my case.”
I think I might fill out the application to get on the show. It requires a video too. A VHS tape. You’re supposed to tell the producers what you would do with the million dollars. Well, for starters, I’d buy a VCR to play the damn VHS tape. Who the heck has a VCR these days? You would think they’d have some sort of video upload system. It’s 2008 people, let’s move it along into the digital age.
But seriously, a million dollars? A million dollars would rock my world. Wow. No more debt. No more car payment. No more mortgage. No more trying to figure out how to pay for my kid’s college tuition. And the best part, no more Boot Camp…going straight to the Bootie (and Boobie) Doctor with that cash. Just let me dream.
