Title: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Da Rat Bastid on March 08, 2012, 08:20:51 pm
Hi, folks, and welcome back to the all-new HOME EDITION of Wheel Of Fortune! :D

We've reached the speed round, so here's how things will go: I'll post a letter* (or a punctuation mark, of which there are a few) every day or so, until 12 have been posted (sorry, but we won't be spelling everything out for you, tsk tsk! :P ).  Contestants can give answers at any time, and the first person to solve the puzzle will win today's fabulous prize, which is....

....a PICTURE OF ME, YOUR HOST!

Yes, folks, won't that be amazing!  Refill your beverages, sit back, and enjoy the fun as the speed round begins!

* Spaces between words will be omitted in the puzzle itself.

10 -- R

EDIT: Oops.  I seem to have mis-posted this.  Mods, could you please move it out to the main Confidential Confesssions section?

This is... the most bizarre thing ever. :o

Can't you just do it like: W**L*****R** ?  The current way is pretty confusing :(

It took me a while to figure out how it worked
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Da Rat Bastid on March 13, 2012, 02:39:03 pm
Yeah, on second thought, that was a bit awkward. :(

Here's the board so far, including the newest letter:

W**L*****RR******

It's clearly "WHARRGARBL."  What do I win?

*laughs* Not even close, dear.  As for what the prize is...well, you'll have to find out along with everyone else on the forum.  It is, however, quite a fine prize. :)

W**L*****RR*****?

W**L*****RR*****?

Will you Surrender?

To you, my dear, probably.  However, no, that's not it. :P

I'd like to buy an "E", please.

An H.

Sorry, Ironbite.  That's not how this lightning round works.  All you need to do is solve the puzzle as soon as you can. :)

W**L*O***RR****L?

"WILL YOU MARRY ME L?"

.....SERIOUSLY?

Ironbite-just..wow.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Art Vandelay on March 17, 2012, 10:06:31 pm
There's too many letters for that one.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: ironbite on March 17, 2012, 10:14:42 pm
Yeah.  There's not a second L in that first word or it would've been revealed.

Ironbite-hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: chad sexington on March 17, 2012, 10:15:44 pm
Ok, then.

here's how things will go: I'll post a letter* (or a punctuation mark, of which there are a few) every day or so

"WILL YOU MARRY ME, L?"

I forgot about the punctuation thing.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: ironbite on March 17, 2012, 10:17:47 pm
Its not Will you marry me L.  If it was, there'd be two "Ls" after the W.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Sleepy on March 17, 2012, 10:32:52 pm
He revealed both L's and both R's on separate occasions.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Art Vandelay on March 17, 2012, 10:41:29 pm
Still, the solution is 17 letters long. "WILL YOU MARRY ME L?" is only 16. Though I guess Chad's inclusion of a comma could well be the answer, seeing as a question mark has already been revealed as a "letter".
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Sleepy on March 17, 2012, 10:43:33 pm
Yep. Not that I was saying what I thought of Chad's possible solution, just pointing out that the third letter could be an L, regardless.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: ironbite on March 17, 2012, 10:56:22 pm
Doesn't matter.  You can't spell Will with only 1 L.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Art Vandelay on March 17, 2012, 10:58:45 pm
Doesn't matter.  You can't spell Will with only 1 L.
There's space between the W and L for an I and another L. There's no reason there can't be a thus far unrevealed L as letter #3.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: QueenofHearts on March 17, 2012, 11:01:20 pm
Yeah, he's not filling in all the letters at once, instead he's filling in one random spot per day. So, even though there is an L up there, there can be more.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: ironbite on March 17, 2012, 11:10:54 pm
This is the dumbest marriage proposal ever.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: chad sexington on March 18, 2012, 12:56:39 am
This is the dumbest creepiest marriage proposal ever.

FTFY
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Art Vandelay on March 18, 2012, 12:59:34 am
Nah, the creepiest would be writing "Will you marry me?" backwards on your wang, then slapping the proposee in question across the face with said wang while the ink is still wet in the hopes that she'll see it next time she looks in the mirror.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: QueenofHearts on March 18, 2012, 01:33:04 am
^^^^^

You mean, that's not every girl's dream proposal?? You mean to tell me I'm the only one.......

Well, this is awkward....

A slap across the face? Psh, you're supposed to use chloroform and then press your wang against various dirty spots on the proposee's body.

Why not leave a floater in the proposee's toilet with "Will you marry me" carved into said floater with the proposee's toothbrush?

Now we're talkin.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: RavynousHunter on March 18, 2012, 08:04:08 pm
Could always just leave a "racing stripe" down the hood of her car and spell out said proposal with "used" tissues.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Da Rat Bastid on March 18, 2012, 08:04:47 pm
"WILL YOU MARRY ME L?"

WILLYOMARRYME,L?

DINGDINGDINGDING!  We have a winnah! :D

And as stated, the prize is a picture of myself.... *drumroll* ...but first, a few words from our sponsor.


My dearest Laura,

It was a little over 2 years ago when we first realized how we felt about each other.  Unfortunately, living half a country apart kind of put a damper on things.  With this persistent health issue I've been trying to deal with lately, I've been giving a lot of thought to how the rest of my life will be going.  I'd really rather not spend any more time than necessary without you in it.

Now, I'm certainly not about to ask that we do that "forsaking all others" stuff.  Hell, there's probably at least one other regular on this forum with whom we might end up shacking up together; s/he probably knows who s/he is. *flashes a cocky smile to the audience* The thing is, though: between the aforementioned health issues I've been dealing with, and your desire to have one or more children, I know it'd be much better if we had that special piece of paper to make things all nice and official.  I know our relationship is almost certainly going to last indefinitely, but I'd still like to have the piece of paper, so that I and our (currently hypothetical) children can rest a bit easier.  To that end, I'd like to know if you'd please do me the unbelievable honor of becoming my wife. :D

"WILL YOU MARRY ME L?"

Well, what say you?
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: Da Rat Bastid on March 18, 2012, 08:09:53 pm
*looks at the recent posts*

Hmm.  It didn't seem even remotely creepy to me.  It's just that, with L and I living apart, my options are rather limited.  (It's not like I can take her to a ballgame or rent a sky-writing plane or something like that. :P)  I figured that, since you are are such nice people, I thought I'd share this important moment with you, since it's not something that happens every day.

Hell, if you guys are comparing this to an unflushed turd, I shudder to imagine how L might feel.  While I still love L to death, I'm starting to feel sorry that I ever came up with this idea.  If you'll all please excuse me, I need to find a nice deep hole in which to (metapohrically) crawl and die. :(

Post by: Art Vandelay on March 18, 2012, 08:18:08 pm
Hey now, I wasn't comparing your proposal to an unflushed turd. While I can't speak for others, my posts on the matter were purely of a humourous nature and inspired only by Chad's mention of creepy proposals. If the two of you are happy, then I say more power to you.
Title: Re: Wheel Of Fortune -- home edition!
Post by: RavynousHunter on March 18, 2012, 08:20:07 pm
Well...I, personally, didn't think it was actually a serious proposal.  Mental Filter of the Internet, and all.

Ey, if she accepts, and you two are happy, that's cool, bro.

Post by: TheL on March 19, 2012, 03:32:24 pm
...Rat, I appreciate the gesture, and it's awfully sweet, but...

1. I have been too busy to even THINK coherently lately.  Now is definitely not the time for me to be making life-changing decisions.

2. I'm still trying to decide what I want with any of my beaux, and it's not easy.

3. I've started dating a local guy, thus making the whole situation even more complicated.


Seriously, it's going to take me several months just to determine where I stand.  Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not ready to make this decision yet.

*gives L a big ol' hug*

S'awright, love.  I completely understand.  Actually, I'd prefer you not rush into this.  I just...thought I'd ask, that's all. :)

BTW, I'll keep the ring-pop in my 'fridge for you, just in case. :) *small kiss*
