Who wants to be a millionaire

[MJ]

"Millionaire" continues to do well in the ratings airing four times a
week, its audience is among the oldest on TV and has increased ABC's
median age to 46, second oldest only to CBS. That's a concern in
Hollywood, where advertisers place a premium on youth. "We're not
unhappy at all," Bloomberg said. Still, the network is bringing
proven magnets with young people - Nick Carter and Howie Dorough of
the Backstreet Boys - on the game show in February. Metallica's Lars
Ulrich, KISS singer Gene Simmons, Emily Robinson of the Dixie Chicks,
Sisqo and Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath also will be on the music-themed
special episodes.


Looks like we're getting some musical celebrities this time.I hardly ever watch the show but I'll watch Mark McGrath.Have you ever seen him on Rock N Roll Jeapordy...He's a machine...he beat everyone else by 20,000 dollars

[iggy]

And Emily beat the other Chicks when they were on Musical Jeopardy! I have low hopes for the Backstreet Boobs.

[insearchofjustin]

Nick Carter on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? This I have to see...

Regis: And for $1,000,000... how many hostess cupcakes come in a box?

[sunshinegirl]

If Nick gets the first question, I'll be shocked beyond belief.

Lance was supposed to be the "smart" NSYNCer and he embarrassed himself...

[NikDC]

If anyone remembers the debacle that passed as a quiz show on MTV's BackStreet Television, I think Nick's I Don't Know should compare to Rudy's similar answer on Survivor...that is if he can stop playing with the fast finger thing to answer the question. :rolleyes:

At least WWTBAM won't make me listen to "Alright!" over and over as Nick plays with the buzzer like a monkey with a new toy.

[sunshinegirl]

I saw the BSB on Rosie...

They played a game where they had to answer questions about the other guys in the group.

Nick has forgotten that he was in a garage band when he was younger and couldn't name the group...:rolleyes:

talk about Einstein...

[insearchofjustin]

What is WWTBAM? A song title?

[iggy]

Who Wants to be a Millionaire...I'm so not apt at the acronym titles found on boyband boards usually...this one took me a while.

We should place bets out of which orafice Nick will bleed the most when he is asked a question. Or a full head explosion is a possibility also. If Kevin is his phone a friend, he's doomed. Kevin can't complete a sentence in 30 minutes, much less seconds.

[sunshinegirl]

"Who Wants to be a Millionaire"...

You must have been looking at the ceiling through this topic ISOJ ;)

[sunshinegirl]

Kevin is one of the biggest morons on earth.

How much you want to bet that if Kevin IS a phone-a-friend that he'll find some way to whine about NSYNC during the question...

[iggy]

It would never work. All the grease in his hair would prevent the phone from staying in place during the critical time period. Reeeg would only hear, "Whoa, I dropped the phone...whoa, there is goes again. Damn NSYNC."

[GTRGRL]

You all sure are acting peddy and immature.

When you grow up, maybe I'll be back to talk about the 80's

[Muycaliente]

I don't know, I thought that, when one hates something, one avoids talking about it. Guess I was wrong.
I would have never expected ya'all to be that immature; guess i was wrong again.

[Jennifer K.]

Real maturity here. Gee I thought this was the 80s forum, not diss the Backstreet Boys forum. Its not like you're going to get the money anyway.

[sunshinegirl]

LMAO!

Oh no, now we're in trouble :rolleyes: We ARE acting "peddy" after all...

[bonzbabe]

I thought the proper pronunction of alright was "aight" these days. And if I'm being peddy does that mean I do bad things to children? New slang term for pedophile or something? :confused:

[sunshinegirl]

I don't know Bonz...it's hard to keep up with the kids' slang nowadays...

And I thought that part of being "mature" was being able to take a joke. But apparently now maturity is defined by picking fights with people who do not give a damn...

[GTRGRL]

For proving our point.

[iggy]

Who let the ass clowns in? I thought we carded at the door.

[sunshinegirl]

"Ass clowns"?

Who are you iggy?

Need to fire our guard...

[garnet]

Maybe Reege will have a question about nala esx. Nick will be a shoo in!

[iggy]

Speaking of esx, garnet. What is up with your new location? Going Viking are we?

[insearchofjustin]

Hey, nothing wrong with that!

[sunshinegirl]

Only if it's Daunte.

Or Robert ;)

[garnet]

Um...no. Thor is the name some girls on the BSB board gave to Nick's member :D

[iggy]

Must resist typing jokes about Thor's mighty hammer.

Damn that Loki.

[garnet]

Don't resist...feel free

[insearchofjustin]

The feeling of nausea overcomes me.

[kentuckychic]

Nikki or Richard, maybe one of you can help me out with this question. Why is it that we've been told to stay away from the BSB board and not to go over starting fights with them etc....then when they feel the need to come over and intrude into one of our conversations it is okay. I can recall several occasions where some of the members of this board went into the BSB board and started something or simply gave our thoughts about a topic. Once all the little girlies got upset we were told to leave and to not come back, leave them alone, stay on our board etc. Yet, when one of our topics wanders (as it always does) some members from the BSB board can freely come over and say whatever is on their mind. If I had been here I wouldn't have been as nice as bonz, sunny, iggy and whoever else responded and I would have been reported to the 'higher authorities' and a request would have been made to block me. Has something changed and now all boards are fair game and we can go and let our opinions be known without any repercussions? Or are we still supposed to sit back and let the little people speak their minds and say nothing? It seems to me that if we have been told to stay away from their board that they should be told to stay away from ours so that their feelings don't get hurt.

[iggy]

I reckon that the higher ups believe it's alright if it takes place in the confines of our little realm. We have fun rattling others...and it gives them an escape if they can't take it. The worst thing that's ever happened is Nikki became our moderator...blessing in disguise. Would have happened sooner or later. We're fine with it...and it rarely occurs.

Yes, I said reckon and yes I complimented Nikki.

[sunshinegirl]

Chicken little, the sky is falling!

The BSB girls can come over all they want. I find their pathetic antics amusing...

[vester]

Hope I'm not intruding on this ...

It's ridiculous to say you can't say what you want on this board. Or state your opinion in any other forum. I love 'NSync (there I've said it, first step is admittance) but do I not see humour in them? Of course I do. Did I cringe when Lance was on WWTBAM? Holy cow, yes.

This is one of the wittiest forums on here and when you have a chance to be "peddy" and immature - take it!

[iggy]

Vester likes us...vester really likes us. Most importantly, (assuming) she gets us. It's all done in fun. There are too many terrible things going on outside my window to worry about stepping on cyber toes. Education and experience will teach anybody that.

Theoretically, I like NSYNC too, but I'll crack on them till it gets dark if it provides me amusement.

[garnet]

What struck me funny about that post is that there are people in the BSB forum who talk like that. Somebody posted a topic about the boys being on the show and there was some "concern" noted about their knowledge, especially Nick's.

There aren't a lot of people in this forum that like BSB and like to joke about them but I don't get offended.

[vester]

Absolutely! I will tell you my theory on Lance. If you ever look at any pictures of NSync, Lance is never looking at the camera. My theory - he sees dead people.

[sunshinegirl]

"gets us"? I didn't realize there was something to "get". But then again, I sometimes forget the level of some of the people we are dealing with...

Hi vester, btw!

[iggy]

Yeah, Lance's eyes are unholy.

Anybody, group, or action is fair game with us. We kid because we care...okay, that was a stretch.

[sunshinegirl]

I think we kid because we're bored.

And we love to hear ourselves talk...type.

[vester]

Howdy sunshinegirl, or sunshine, or SG ...
I think it's just that higher level of humour in here. A bit more subtle.

[sunshinegirl]

Subtle?

Obviously you have never met any of us ;)

[NikDC]

Well, shut my mouth! iggy said something nice about me. :o

KY...ig's comment about does it. There's also a smaller group in here and it's easier to say that it won't get out of hand. If you go over there and say something, unbelieveable chaos ensues and everyone and their brother comes in. Juju and Tania have enough problems over there without adding to it. As long as it's here, it's just general comments not intended to start anything.

Fear not...if they poke y'all with sticks, I'll bring down the wrath of Nikki upon them. :D

[iggy]

Yeah, we're as subtle as an angry hive of bees.

She gots our back...should we need it.

[insearchofjustin]

Everyone needs a good poke now and then. As long as it doesn't involve "Thor".

[iggy]

TESTIFY!

[garnet]

I beg to differ, ISOJ

[sunshinegirl]

Reminds me of that song by NEXT "Too Close"...

"...feel a little poke coming through..."

I hate that song. So glad I knew those guys...:rolleyes:

[insearchofjustin]

Oh Garnet, what are we going to do with you? ;)

[garnet]

ISOJ, I'm not sure. I barely know what to do with myself.

Sunny, you'd feel more than a little poke coming thru from what I hear.

[vester]

Never mind ... forget subtle.

[insearchofjustin]

*plugs ears and hums to self*

[sunshinegirl]

Ewww...

*daisies, summer days, fresh cut grass, Nick's schlong...

Crap.

Thanks garnet :rolleyes:

[NikDC]

For Sunny...to help.

[insearchofjustin]

My kid's friend Peter in 20 years.

[sunshinegirl]

Why does he look like he's in a drug-induced daze?

No bother...it took my mind of Nick. Now there's a "thor" that I would like to get my hands on...

Subtle, huh vester? :D

[iggy]

Hey...I have a jacket remotely like that...why do the boy bands keep dressing like me?

Note to self: boy band proof your closet when you get home.

Special note to self: find out why you ever had similar clothes in the first place.

[insearchofjustin]

Ig, does your jacket say "member's only" on the front pocket?

[sunshinegirl]

Tell me you don't have those pants.

Oh and iggy, remind me sometime to find the pic of all five NSYNCers wearing "fun camo pants" very similar to yours. It's almost eerie...

[insearchofjustin]

Iggy is the 6th NSyncer.

Yesterday MTV played a Making The Band marathon. I could have watched it for HOURS. Thank God it finally ended.

The curly haired latino boy who's always sick should be kicked to the curb.

[iggy]

Nice Frankenstein pants...who shot the drapes?

Okay...after looking again, my jacket is only slightly similar. It can stay. The fun pants are off limits though...they've had a life of their own.

[insearchofjustin]

My does JC continue to dress like a Michael Jackson concert goer?

[vester]

Clever, yes. Subtle, no. :D

iggy, I'd like to know what other boyband articles of clothing you have. Do all your shirts have the arms ripped off them? Pants with different animals prints such as squirrels, cows or zebras?

[kentuckychic]

Apparently no one saw the point of my post.

Sorry to have bothered you.

[garnet]

We saw the point, we just got carried away as usual. Sowry, KY.

[iggy]

KY, we saw the point and we share in your frustration. There's a million double standards here, but I have learned to take the high road...can't expect the same from the Mousekateers on other boards.

V: I have multicolored pimp suits and matching hats. Not to mention shiney metallic jumpsuits with attached glow sticks.

[sunshinegirl]

Wow...ig, if we would have seen those in your closet, we would have been decked out.

You leave us with fun pants and Hugo Boss suits and leave all the fun stuff hidden?

I want an outfit with glowsticks...I think I'd start throwin them at bad drivers in rush hour...

[vester]

iggy, you must shop at the "Hot Boyz Zone" in JC Penny.

[insearchofjustin]

Do they play Cash Money Millionaire videos on the 13 inch televisions suspended from the ceiling?

[sunshinegirl]

Some sad news...Clinton apparently has skin cancer. :(

I figured that since we never stay on topic anyway...

[insearchofjustin]

Is skin cancer catchy? Monica might want to check her mouth. :rolleyes:

[garnet]

And the guy that played QT from 2gether died...

[NikDC]

"Had", sunshine. The lesion was removed and there's a low chance of recurrance.

[kentuckychic]

Garnet, are you serious about QT or was it just part of the show? The reason I ask is because sometime here recently I was watching that show and I noticed he was nowhere in it, including the video at the end. I had been trying to figure it all out.

[garnet]

I'm serious...he really died.

http://www.mtv.com/sendme.tin?page=/mtv/news/headlines/

[insearchofjustin]

Wow... first Joe C. and now QT.

[PB&Kev]

How does a 16 year old die of natural causes? Is that stupid or is it just me?

We must be broadening our scope of "natural causes" these days.

[garnet]

His lungs gave out...

[kentuckychic]

I know you all will think I'm stupid for saying this but that is really sad. :(

[NikDC]

I was wondering when MTV would put up a report.

So sad. :(

[garnet]

I don't think you're stupid, KY. That IS really sad.

I always wondered why he wasn't in those last couple of episodes too.

[PB&Kev]

I thought "natural causes" was reserved for when an elderly person died and there was no exact cause. Guess not.

[insearchofjustin]

The truly sad thing about it is that as I was reading the report, I didn't know whether to believe it or not. MTV screws around and makes fun of this stuff so much, that you don't know what's real and what's not.

[iggy]

I never thought he looked well...a bit skinny and ashen.

[Jennifer K.]

Well, I hate to butt in here again, but I just better stick up for myself. I know you guys are talking about something serious, and I understand. There is NO ONE out there in the world that deserves to die to such a horrible disease, and at such a young age...its very terrible. I guess you can only say prayers for his family and hope they are ok, along with his friends,fans, and anyone else who cared for him. I agree MTV should be more serious about it, and they should also make a documentary about the people whose lives were cut short this year. They make documentaries about everything else.....

Anyway, I just wanted to reply to those who were offended because I called you guys immature for bashing the Backstreet Boys. I myself am completely offended to be referred to as a "little girl" when I am not, and I never heard anyone in the BSB forum refer to any of you guys in a belittling manner. I am not a little girl, and yes I am a BSB fan. Because I am a fan of theirs does not imply that I am 15 and desperate, and I think its also rather rude, since most 15 year old BSB fans are a lot more mature than people think. But anyway, I never thought there was a rule not to post in a forum, nor do I think what I wrote was offensive in any way. I came here because I wanted to see what the forum was about, and I thought it was weird to see people in here calling them names like moron and once again bashing Nick about his weight, but hey, if you don't like them and that's the way you want to express it, that's cool.

Think whatever you want. Nick is fat, Kevin is a moron, they all suck....That's fine with me, but just don't refer to all BSB fans as crying little girls, when we just simply replied in a pretty mature way. I also have nothing against having a little fun, and I didn't know you guys were joking around. I thought you were serious...

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that I have no problem with any of you guys, and I am newer to the LD board, so I don't know what happened earlier with the bashing. If you were stating your opinion at the BSB forum, then why do you have a problem with me stating mine? Its not even an opinion, more of a reply, and it certainly wasn't derogatory. Oh well...thanks for the time, and I apologize if I added to the annoyance in any way. Don't think all BSB fans hate people that don't like BSB. I am totally cool with you guys,just not being referred to as a little teenybopper when I am not.

[iggy]

don't think anything about it

All people are fair game in here...regulars and drive-by posters. That's the only rule (albeit unwritten) that we have in here.

[sunshinegirl]

Whew...she's ok with us. I couldn't be more relieved.

No one was offended that you called us immature...because, well, we are.

The BSB board has been declared off limits to anyone who doesn't like BSB. Fact of life.

[insearchofjustin]

So for all you BSB haters... come in here and we'll discuss it!

Posts longer than a paragraph make me dizzy.

[PB&Kev]

I agree totally ISOJ. :D I quit reading, somewhere in the beginning of the second paragraph.

Must be that "shiny thing" attention span of ours. I figure if you can't fit it into a paragraph---2 at the most, just keep it to yourself. :) Now I'm tired. That whole thing made my ceiling look entertaining.

[NikDC]

Take everything with a grain of salt. People in here pride themselves on their wit and sarcastic ability. By the way, several people in here have beaten people down for calling their 'Nsync-loving selves teenyboppers so you're in good company.

Stay and play with us.

[iggy]

Some are more deserving of that pride than others.

[sunshinegirl]

iggy thinks himself the king.

We usually think of him as more of the court jester...

[iggy]

If the pointy shoe with bells fits...

Residual onion breath is the work of the devil. Man, this day is so not going my way.

[Short Chris]

Should we assume that you also have mustard staining your hands then? Cause that is usually a pretty good sign that the day sucks.

[Jennifer K.]

Thank you guys. Sorry I made it so long. You know, had to state the point and all. I don't mind Backstreet haters at all. In fact, I think you all are funny.

[iggy]

Funny like a pony.

I've managed to avoid digital mustard contamination today (sounds like an NSYNC song). Finally tracked down a co-worker with breath aid. I hate panhandling for Certs.

[Short Chris]

Jennifer K - welcome to our band of misfits

Iggy - Isn't begging for breath mints at work kind of humiliating? You might as well wear a sign around your neck stating "I reek".

[iggy]

I think of it as a public service. I'm civil minded like that.

If somebody says no, we all lose.

[vester]

Sort of like, "what's it gonna be punk?" Go ahead, smell my breath.
Tzaikai(sp?????), you know, the sauce you eat with souvlaki, is the worst offender. You are not getting rid of that smell for about two days.

[MJ]

Well I feel much better now knowing that I work in constant stink.Someone with onion breath would probably be a breath of fresh air after the smell of burning tires all day...of course with the auto industry in the *****ter right now its just a matter of time before I get an extended vacation...I'm down to 3 days a week already....oh well more time to play.

[insearchofjustin]

Sorry to bring this back to the original topic, but when can we plan on watching the Backstreet Boys using all their lifelines before the $1000 question?

[sunshinegirl]

Nah...Nick's not smart enough to know that he has lifelines to use...he'd just try to "pass" on the question.

Kevin would be too bull-headed to use them, thinking that he knows everything...

I just invite the wrath of BSB fans...

[insearchofjustin]

Who do you think Nick's "special someone" will be sitting in the audience? Surely not his mom... doesn't she hate him?

[sunshinegirl]

I know I would if I was his mom...

I bet Aaron hates him too...

Probably Brian...

[iggy]

My guess is Mrs. Butterworth.

[insearchofjustin]

I was thinking his Aunt Jemima.

[insearchofjustin]

Wha??? Where did Sara Lee go? ;)

[hogjowls]

The backstreet boys are the greatest musicians in this entire filthy planet. Just look... they truly BELIEVE in what they're saying, they write all that complicated, beautiful music, they are hideously deformed, yet THEY STILL APPEAR IN THEIR MUSIC VIDEOS. They are just trying to bring their "message" to this ungrateful world. And that message is: "glark! floooooooooooook! marnqweee klacken egwaaarp." If you aren't able to get behind those words of inspirational wisdom, sir, then I'll gladly eat my hat. And furthermore, I think that these United States have gone too long without contributing anything positive to the cultural world in general. Think! Right this minute, the Backstreet Boys are somewhere on earth (or elsewhere) giving it 101% for cultural enlightenment of those other backwards yobs all over the world. Without the glory of His Highness the Lord Pope Egberto Mosquito III and his words of scripture (affiliated in no way with Menudo), where would we be??? Am I rambling on? Okay. Farewell!

[sunshinegirl]

Ok who emptied the asylums?

[Short Chris]

OK nurse, let's get that lithium drip running stat.

[iggy]

Great, now I got that glark floooooooooook song in my head.

[Jennifer K.]

Alrighty then there bud. I believe everything you said. You forgot to mention a few things here and there, but I think overall you may be right.*shrugs shoulders*

Anyway,thanks for letting me hang with you guys. I promise to not open my mouth about one negative thing you all say about the Backstreet Boys, even Kevin, although he is my personal favorite and was such a nice guy when I met him. You could be right....He may just be a moron. I agree he needs to wash the hair though. You'd think with the money they make they could afford some shampoo. Oh well, lately maybe they haven't been making that much, or perhaps he has spent it all on those long coats he always wears-or hair gel...

Anyhow, umm...you guys forgot Howie is on the show as well. Its not just Nick. Although Howie doesn't watch tv or read the newspaper, he may be the only chance they have. Yup! I'm seeing the money now.....
