You sure there isn't a chocolate bunny shortage? I thought that was a chocolate horse at first glance.  :P

Bidding Order:
TPIRfan#9821 ---------> $1,289
gamesurf ----------> $665
JayC ----------> $725
PatrickRox80 -----------> $731


1233: Chocolate horse? I'm going to just say you were a bit hungry while making that bid.  :-)

Anyways, the price of that fancy non-edible rocking horse...





...so come on up, TPIRfan#9821!!!!!

{applause}
{walks to door 2}


Your aggressive style has already paid off TPIRfan. Let's hope it helps you throughout. What do we have behind those doors?


Announcer: We've already giving you a rockin' rocking horse, so let's keep it going with...


{door 2 opens}

...2 rocking prizes for the price of 1!!!




First, this 39" tall rocking chair/nursing seat hybrid is constructed of plywood and polyester microfiber!! {modeled by Rachel}

And then, you and a guest will fly round trip from LA to Aspen, Colorado, where you will stay 6 nights at The Little Nell mountain resort and stay in a deluxe room with a view of the great mountainside view!! {modeled by Manuela}

This is a great prize package worth $5,904!!!!


{loud applause}



1233: I know I'm going to immediately get hate for saying this, but that trip would seriously rock! 





...




{dead silence, some jeers from the crowd}



Yeah, I know. But I stuck to it. Just don't throw any stones up here.  :biggrin:

Now TPIRfan, your game is 2 for the Price of 1 and as the game's name would suggest, you win both prizes by telling us the price of just the rocking chair. To help you out a bit, we'll even give you one number for free.

Which digit would you like?

...wow, my strategy was actually rock solid?

But man, I feel like I'm going to hit rock bottom with these prizes. I guess I'll take the middle number, but I don't know how well that will go.

What? No zero ending? Your name wouldn't happen to be Roger, would it?  :P

To 9821: I'm thinking the first number is 7, and it's quite possible that the last number is 1...I wouldn't put anything past Numbers at this point.

1233: And to think I thought this show got off to a rocky start.

The middle number is...





{ding}

...a 4.

Given how difficult this setup is, I'd say you're quite the underdog, like this guy was...

Yeah, I'm shook. I guess $548. I guess my logic is a rocking chair shouldn't cost that much, and maybe it sometimes with an ottoman, which would give two things that ended in 9?

Eh, I still come home with a rocking horse :P

{ding, ding}

{inner boxing coach comes out}

1233: Are you asking me if your logic makes sense or are you telling me your logic makes sense? Come on now, you came out so aggressive down in the Row, remember? Don't go soft on me now. Say $548 like you mean it!!!


{TPIRfan#9821 repeats answer, with a bit more vigor}


AGAIN!!!


{repeats it again, full of fire and gusto}


That's more like it!!

Now let's light up that board!!!!






{dramatic pause}









{ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding}
{audience roars}

What a win! That's the underdog story we were looking for!! You can't write this stuff!


...


OK, I understand I am currently writing this stuff, but you get my point. Have fun in Aspen, TPIRfan!!

While we get the movie writers out from backstage, enjoy these short commercials. We will have more fun and games coming up soon.

Roger? When was the last time they offered cologne and perfume as an IUFB?

Hasn't happened since 979 AD!

$979 then!

I don't know which spread to cover. That third bid made it a bit easier.

$984!
