An actual update instead of a LoudTwitter post? Can it be true? Sure it is. Especially when it's time to play LJ's favorite game: Five Questions! These five are from no less than ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) renaissancegeek:
1. Let's see -- Russian Roulette, Crosswords -- history. What other shows do you plan to kill in the near future? :-)
Kill?!?! I didn't kill those shows, man. GSN just changed directions and Crosswords was D.O.A. That being said, I'm planning to play the Phone Game to try out for the new ABC Who Wants to Be A Millionaire this month. Failing that, I would give anything to try out for The $1,000,000 Pyramid if it gets picked up by CBS.
2. I know your work schedule has been a little crazy, but have you been able to stick with your workout program?
I usually go once a week when I can. Two weeks ago I missed because I went up to Glendale to hang out with riversidedimple,loogaroo (especially), Ben Ziek, Adam Nedeff and a few new friends (including Alfonzo "Al" Smith from the Invision boards). Last week I had to work six days...and the sixth day was on Tuesday. I WAS going Tuesday and Wednesday, but the Wednesday night guy is not only an asshole, but his class is boring. It's fast-paced, but it's more like a 24-HR. Fitness class than a boxing class. Lame.
3. What's the weirdest thing you've ever witnessed personally in the casino in the wee hours?
In the ass, Bob. Oh wait, sorry, I misunderstood the question. (I guess she did, too. ;D)
I've seen my share of weird stuff, including a woman literally dropping dead at the table. But the weirdest thing I've seen is security drag some woman (or try to drag her) out of the casino kicking and screaming like a two-year old for no apparent reason.
Either that or "Sabrina," a drag queen who's one of our regulars and usually plays stupid-9...which isn't so weird except that the fool has adopted a ridiculous stripper walk which he uses ALL THE TIME. Natalie, one of our late-shift dealers (and an incredible cutie if ever there was one), once commented that "I'm a woman...and I don't walk like that." I know "Sabrina" is a drag queen because he's been playing at the Commerce for a while, I know what he looked like before he started dressing as a woman. He's supposed to be a white woman, but he's actually a rather creepy Asian man. The bastard used to stare at me like I was the entertainment; usually he'd show up near the end of my shift, and I was hoping for the table to break, but it wouldn't because people kept winning so I (foolishly) got frustrated.
The funniest part is that some of the male players who don't know that "Sabrina" is a man actually give him looks like he's attractive.
4. If Phil decides to retire, who would you like to see brought in to coach the Lakers?
This is actually a moot point now that Phil is coming back, but part of me would secretly like to see Avery Johnson coach the Lakers. I really thought he did a great job with the Mavs, and I don't think he should've been fired. He's a good bask-eet-bawl coach.
I'm sorry, I LIKE his pronunciation of that word.
Am I insane, or can anyone else see Kobe Bryant as an NBA head coach himself after he's done with playing?
5. Drew Carey -- pro or con?
In spite of my overwhemling fondness for Todd Newton (and for the raw deal a certain associate of mine got last year), I have say that I am pro-Drew. The man truly loves his job, and wants so very much to make the show (and the fan's experience in watching it...and attending the tapings in person) the best it can possibly be. He still needs help with his hosting skills, but otherwise, I find myself very much jonesing for the new season to start...and to visit the show in person again just to see what's up.
(Theme from Classic Concentration plays.) Randy West?
Randy: Yes, Joe Van Ginkel?
Tell our friends how they can take part in the fun!
Randy: Okay, Joe. Log on to gameshowman.livejournal.com, click on "leave a comment" and ask for Five Questions of your own! Okay, Joe!
We'll be back (clap) with more stuff (clap) right after this! |
