A wonderful, unnamed, popular national psychic told me today in an email:

This energy we're in is like being on the Gong Show.


How frikkin apropos!

1. Rick you crack me up!

Gong Show?

Well, folks voting for MItt think they're cleaning up on
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

[elleng]

2. Like this???

[Ricochet21]

3. That was just awful

I remember watching a man eat a hoagie while sitting in a rocker once.

[elleng]

4. Never watched it, Rick!

5. Heh!

As I recall, a lot of funny bad acts, and a huge amount of rejection!

There's a lot of Get Outta here to contend with!

That connects a lot of dots, really.

6. Sooo, who would be the Unknown Comic?

He was the guy who wore the brown paper bag over his head.

[kimmerspixelated]

9. I remember him!

7. I sure would like to see Mitt

and some of those Republican clowns get gonged in a 'national debate' --that would be satisfying on so many levels!!

[Ricochet21]

8. All you would have

heard was a constant gong

[southerncrone]

10. And years later we find out that Chuck Barris was

as CIA operative! You just can't make sh!t like that up. Life IS stranger than fiction!

11. I once watched a man dressed like a nun

on the Gong Show. He sang The Whiffenpoof Song. He had a mustache, too.

I never did figure it out. The mustache was the final bit of puzzling whimsy.

12. I remember auditioning for the Gong Show with my "New Age" rock band

and were ---> rejected

we didn't even get our chance to get gonged!!!!
