Gaggle? GAGGLE?

I just got to play in a really-real nationwide game show and blew it within - literally - the first few seconds of my appearance. Details here.

Despite my best all-smiles efforts I can't help but feel upset about this, being driven from "heh I'm doing good at this tonight" to "HOLY SHIT I'M PLAYING FOR REALS" to complete choking flameout defeat, within the span of a minute. I hear the ghost of the laughter of every 7th-grade gym-class tormenter ringing in my ears.

This will be erased by the time I wake up next, so hooray for it being so close to bedtime now. But: ugh.

More hooray to derspatchel for also getting called up to the stage and making a much more impressive show of it!

Update: Fuck you, "contrarycoho". Now is so not the time.

Man, that was an unfortunate round you got Mobbed for. Right after Gaggle kicked all us twitchy maniacs in the fingers, the second question took away the rest of the mob.

But hey, considering we got picked out of a crowd of how many thousand is pretty damn sweet.

that sounds really amusing to onlookers. Sorry.

The glowing fact I held tight to my breast while the thing happened was: This will make a good story.

I felt that nervousness at just the auditions for Wheel, so I totally understand. It wasn't until my turn was over and I sat down and was calm that I went, "oh! GOLF COURSE!"

Incidentally, "contrarycoho" seems to be a spambot.
