SideshowPA's Holiday TPIR

[sideshowPA]

123123123 goes lower again....

BUZZ!!!!

Now, this is getting serious!  Let's see the next prize...

It's an ugly Christmas sweater!

This sweater will be first-prize winner at your party next year!

Higher or lower than 7 dollars, 123123123?

[123123123]

I don't know who would buy that for $7.00 at a normal store, let alone a thrift store. 

Lower, please

[sideshowPA]

Hey, don't hate on the ugly sweaters!

Anyway...is it lower?

DING!

Yes, so at least you will have one window.  Let's see the last prize....

It's women's shoes.

Sure, somebody wore this dress shows before you bought them, but they were sprayed, so that makes it ok.....right?

$4.50...what say ye?

[123123123]

I'll go higher this time

[sideshowPA]

123123123 goes higher and....

DING!

Yes.  This is a nice comeback, as now you have 2 chances to win the loveseat.

Cross your fingers.....

And...

Light it up!

Oh no, that's too bad.  But we will see you at the big wheel in just a bit!

[sideshowPA]

Time for the second showcase showdown, where you can win as much as $26 here on the Big Wheel. 

Please give me two numbers from 1-20, and your stopping rule:

Spinning order:
123123123
Cyclone
cu2010

[123123123]

12 and 3 please, stop at 75+

[therealcu2010]

7, if that doesn't beat or tie the leader, 13.

[Cyclone]

I'll do my usual 7-11.  I'll wait and see what happens with 123, however, and see what my hunch says before doing the second spin (unless I'm behind after one spin).  Obviously with 70 or above I'm freezing, but haven't decided below that yet.

Cyclone

[sideshowPA]

All of our players are ready for the second Showcase Showdown....

123123123 is first, and his first spin lands on....

80

That is good enough for him, so take your spot under the scoreboard....


Next up is cu2010.  He starts with....

90

90 is better than 80, so take your spot under the scoreboard cu....


Finally, we have Cyclone...

His first spin lands on....

65

That's not quite enough.  So one more spin please.

It comes around, and lands on....

65

HONK!

And that is just too much here.

cu2010, we will see you in the Showcase.  And the showcases will begin tomorrow morning, at some point after I have had my coffee and oatmeal.  See you then!

[therealcu2010]

umm...sidey, why did I spin second? I was the biggest winner and should have spun last...

Dunno if it affects things any...but still, don't want to cheat my way into the Showcases.

[sideshowPA]

wow, that's a big time "my bad". 

what to do...what to do...maybe I should consult with the mod? 

dammit!  that's me! 

OK, this is awkward, since Cyclone's first spin was 65 cents, and he deserves an opportunity to stop.  So, here's what we will do:

123123123 is on the mat with 80 cents

Cyclone has spun 65 cents, and now has an option.

I apologize to the group for being a bonehead, we thank cu2010 for being a stand up guy, and look for an old can of Turtle Wax to give as a token of appreciation.

So now, the decision is Cyclone's!

[123123123]

Wait, if I have an 80 and Cyclone has a 65, wouldn't he have to spin again?

[Cyclone]

Yes, at this point, I don't have an option.

Cyclone

[sideshowPA]

LOL.  Man, I am having a bad day here.....

This is for all of our newer hosts out there, that sometimes it's not that easy to host.

Anyway, back to the madness.  Using Cyclones traditional 2nd choice of 11, he gives it a mighty spin and.....

1.00

HONK!

And that is wayyy too much.  Thanks for playing Cyclone.

Now, on to cu2010.  Here comes his first spin....

we find.....

1.00

One dollar! And that's exactly what you win for hitting it!

Karma is a neat thing sometimes.  cu's honesty gave him a re-do.  Give thanks to random.org for feeling generous today.

So, now we need another number for your bonus spin cu2010...
