Title: My Story

This is my story. Everyone thinks that they are the best at everything. If you don't i suggest that you do. because if you don't (this whare my story begins.) You might end up like Audrey. Now deep down inside she knew that she was THE BEST, but she didn't want to say it. I would know because she's in my class. she is so perfect. Always A's ALWAYS,ALWAYS ALWAYS! And it makes me SO mad. So one day our teacher, Mr.Smythe said to her,"That is the BEST picture of Mona Lisa I've ever seen other than Leonardi DiVinche." "Oh no it's not." "Yes it is." Have i mentioned that Audery had a crush on Mr.Smythe? The way they acted sounds like he liked her too! {but I knew he didn't because he's 29.} Anywho, she is always the teachers pet. ALWAYS! I can tell she doesn't like me because in 2nd grade she handed everyone a birthday party invetatoin. Except me. snobby, or what? Her Mother knows everyone in the class. Exc
show. Perhaps you have heard of it, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Before I start, I
have one question, why is there no question mark at the end of the show's title? I find it
kind of ironic that they have writers thinking up questions involving President Nixon and
"laugh" (yes I know, I too was surprised at first), but they do not have the grammatical
skills to know that you end a question with a question mark. But then again, other shows
have been doing the same thing for years. Two Guys A Girl Their Friends Some Other
People and A Pizza Place never put a comma between each subject (Or should that be
noun? I never paid much attention in class anyway.)
Anyway, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is a quiz show where you must answer
fifteen multiple choice questions ranging from the color of BoPeep's sheep (black,
GEESH!) to how far the earth is from the sun (ninety-three million miles away). To help
you along the way there are three "life lines". You can "phone a friend" (which is
everybody you have ever met since you might win a million dollars(, ask the studio
audience for their opinion, and "fifty-fifty", which takes away two possible answers out
of a possible four.
But even before you are able to get on the "hot seat" sitting next to host REGIS
PHILBIN (I know, I was just as happy as you are/were, except I would have rather have
had Kathi Lee Gifford as the host), you must compete with nine other trivia buffs in a
"fastest finger" contest where you must put four things in order from east to west, west to
east, earliest to latest, youngest to oldest, and other ways. Some of the recent topics were
the order of youngest to oldest Jacksons (Janet, Michael, Bo, and Stonewall), state
capitals, and Oscar winners for Best Picture.
One interesting aspect of the show that people seem to enjoy is its soundtrack. I
personally find it annoying at times, considering that we are trying to guess the answer to
a question, not trying to figure out who killed someone. My point is that the show is a
game show, NOT a murder mystery.
One person in November actually wont the million dollar prize during the end of
November Sweeps. The winner, John Carpenter, even wont the game without using any
of his "life lines" unless you count using his phone a friend one to inform his father that
he was going to win the prize without any help. Another Twist to that story is that
Mr.Carpenter works for the IRS. So after he files his tax return this year, he is going to
harass himself. He also plans to ask the network to change the show's title to Who Wants
To Win $666,666,666.66 After Taxes? (I find it kind of catchy!)
Following the success of Millionaire, a few products have come out, including a
book, a home version, a computer game, and my favorite, a miniature Regis Doll. Your
Regis Doll comes with a power mini-power tie, the hot seat, and he says such
millionairiffic phrases: "Is that your final answer?," "Who WANTS to be a millionaire?,"
Pretty confident?," "Your my bestest friend!," "You have three life lines left." and "I love
you."
Also following the success of Millionaire, the three other major networks have come
out with versions of their, own. Winning Lines, the latest, is hosted by Mr. New Year's
Eve himself, two hundred and sixty-three year old Dick Clark. Well as prime time
approaches, I have to get going so I can yell at my TV as I watch my new favorite shows.
