march 13, 2005

fill in the blank

So I'm watching Match Game and the question is:

"Fred said, 'I knew the honeymoon was over when I took my wife to an X-rated movie and she brought along her ________'"

If you said "knitting", you matched me,


Brett Somers,


and Raymond Burr!

I would have said "boyfriend."

A girl has to keep her hands busy. How funny!

Loved that show. Bret Somers -- alive or dead??

Is there another possible answer? : )

Ha, that's awesome! You're a quick draw with the camera...

Does this mean we aren't supposed to knit/crochet on our honeymoon?

I was just telling my knitting friends last night that I had to get rid of my cable because I became obsessed with reruns of "Match Game." You know Gene Rayburn was an avid needlepointer.

Photos from the TV! Great job.

And here I thought I was the only one who watched old Match Game reruns while knitting!

I wonder if you have any suggestions as to how I can get my hands on the pattern for "split neck pullover from the cover of Phildar's Automne 2003 catalog" I fell in love with your finished sweater But I'm not familiar with the publication you referenced. I MUST knit that sweater!!!! BTW it looks GREAT on you.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

OMG! Match Game! Love it - we used to watch it ALL the time. Great capture.

Posted by: Cara at March 13, 2005 9:49 PM

LOL!!!!!!! here's to TV/ movie knitting!

Posted by: Nathalie at March 14, 2005 12:44 AM

ha! i loved that show when i was a kid. it was so "naughty."

Match Game is the best game show EVER. And Brett Sommers is still very much alive! She had a little cabaret-like show here in NYC not too long ago.

Love Match Game! Yes, Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly are still with us and going strong as far as I know.

Lest you all think I sit in front of the tv with the camera at the ready, the pics are courtesy of TiVo and my husband, who can do anything with a computer!
