I'd like to buy a vowel, please...
Mar. 18th, 2005 01:22 pmCharlie has recently discovered the unadulterated fun that is Wheel of Fortune, a game show that has been on television since I was his age. I always get a big kick of watching him enjoy things, and this is no exception. He cheers on the contestants, groaning when they get 'bankrupt' (or 'bankgrout' as he calls it) and shouts 'big money!' when the wheel spins, which just cracks me up. So, I went to the Wheel of Fortune's web site to see if they had online game one can play, which of course they do.
It is terribly addicting. I had to tear myself away from it. Not good on a Friday - it's hard enough concentrating on work on a Friday.
( slightly more serious topic )
Right. Back to work.
Oh - question to my British friends - my local DJ this morning told a story he said was in the Mirror about Val Kilmer at a resturant called Ivy. Apparently he was in the men's and the guy next to him said 'you can be my wing man any time' which I believe was from Top Gun, and Val Kilmer, instead of fixing him with a steely glare, said the next line back to him. Then, at the guy's request, Val Kilmer went up to the guy when he was back at the bar with his mates and said 'hey, Dave! Good to see you!' or similar. I thought that was just the coolest thing to do, and I was wondering if it was really reported, and if so, what the chances are of it being actually true.
