...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Point totals are as follows: Shelly is in the lead with $700; D-Rod is second with $500; Matt has $200; Drake Steel, TBinSTL and SkippyStalin have $100 each.
The category is Dicks, for $500.
Bzzzz...

Who are Dick Armey and Dick Gephardt?
I'll take shoe shoes shoes for $500.

Who are (VP) Dick Nixon and (VP) Dick Cheney?
By the way, Annie, the last category is supposed to be "Great Lawyers".
Posted by: shelly on Jul. 10, 2006With all respect to Shelly, please tell me it's "one new category (until the max of 6 categories is reached) to one correct answer."
Posted by: Victor on Jul. 10, 2006My bad, and my apologies to Shelly. Your name was buried in "DAILY DOUBLE."
Posted by: Victor on Jul. 10, 2006It's OK, Victor. No one else around here can read, either.
It's occupational hazard with lawyers...
Posted by: shelly on Jul. 10, 2006Bzzzzzzzzt...!
Ahem.
Who WERE Congressmen Dick Armey and Dick Gephardt?
They were congressmen in the past, y'see.
Posted by: Tuning Spork on Jul. 10, 2006Guys, Armey and Gephart (Howdy Doody) didn't lead for 14 years. Gephardt didn't lead much at all.
But he is and was certainly a Dick, in all respects.
Posted by: shelly on Jul. 10, 2006Who are 'the guy who replaced Tip O'Neil' and 'the guy who was senate majority leader at that time' ?
Posted by: Kevin on Jul. 10, 2006What is 'two guys'. Who are 'the guys who were named Dick who ruled the Senate for 14 years'. Stop me if I get it. Who is 'some dudes'. What is 'a pair of weenies'.
Posted by: Kevin on Jul. 10, 2006Kevin, you are a weenie.
First, learn to read. The, learn to read instructions.
You missed your chance with the fairy castles...
Posted by: shelly on Jul. 10, 2006oops, sorry i'm so late. Leif is first with the correct answer. As on the tv show, last names are okay if sufficient to identify the person. Leif, hopefully will be back soon and not off exploring Vinland, so he can select the next category.
And speaking of categories, technically Shelly should get to pick the final category, since he did guess right last time. And that is what i told the judges, but unfortunately they disagreed with me, and so I have to listen to them.
Basically the judges said that since we had "fuckin lawyers" as a category last year, we shouldn't have another lawyer category again this year. i think the judges just hate lawyers, which is kind of odd, when you think about it.
Anyways, they told me to invoke the "lameness veto" and so we won't be having "great lawyers" as a category this year. Sorry Shelly. I think "Ronald Reagan" is a cool idea for a category tho. Maybe somebody will pick it.
So it's up to me to pick the last category. I will choose something obscure and challenging.
How about "vexatious vexillology?" Sounds great, I'm ready, let's go!
Posted by: annika on Jul. 10, 2006Shelly, **ahem**, that was me who screwed up on the fairy chimneys.
Kevin, they didn't rule the Senate, they ruled the House.
If it wasn't Armey and Gephardt then I'm still stumped, so I'll say:
Bzzzzzzzzzt....!
Who are Dick Weid and Dick Hertz?
Posted by: Tuning Spork on Jul. 10, 2006Aah, there you are, Annie! :)
Shelly could've chosen the final category if he had picked it. But he didn't! He opted for Dicks for $500 so his option was negated. Good ruling, judges.
Posted by: Tuning Spork on Jul. 10, 2006Well, woo-hoo! Long-time listener and first time caller and all that. How very exciting.
I'll take Vexatious Vexillology for 200.

*sniff* Ok I learned to read early this morning. Where are the rules?
Posted by: Kevin on Jul. 11, 2006Thanks for explaining that Tuning Spork. I had no idea what she was talking about with that fairies comment.
Posted by: Kevin on Jul. 11, 2006Yer welks, Kevin. :)
