As the show began, Cyril again wondered if the nappy hat was such a good idea…
I see a policeman dozzing off… hummm…
see how I use my jedi powers to lift this ball in to air!
…I see an amazing Irony that this stations call letters are wRGB yet we appear in black and white…
“Yes, officer, I’m telling you that we’ve raised this giant pearl since it was but a small grain of sand within our oyster collection”
Dan, I don’t think we should leave the new GE super doppler weather radar in the studio.
Every night the same thing, “Hocus pocus in your nocus.” If only “The Shadow” would come along and save me from this dreary story line, ‘Helen thought’. If this fake gypsy could read my mind he’d know what was in the sphere, A GUN. A gun I’d use to drill him full of holes and then I’d turn and kill this stupid cop and shoot the camera man. Then I’d…..
It could have been HIM in the turban. Six years of drama classes and still the dirty copper. Once the lights go out, Ivan will strangle the woman and dive out the window with the turban and leave…. them…. guessing. Ha, ha, ha, ha,
No amount of editing was able to redeem the conceptual fiasco that came from Pillsbury’s tired marketing department, confirmation to the young Rudy Perz that perhaps his “magical doughboy” idea wasn’t quite so preposterous.
Really, do I have to eat the last pea before I can leave the table?
The General Electric WRGB Microwave has produced the largest cream puff in history! Amazing!
Alright you two, I can’t keep stopping by to ask you to stop chanting ‘Meckalecka-Hi-Mecka-Hinny-Ho’. I’ve had enough Paul Ruebens incidents for one night.
And that’s when I took the dinosaur’s egg and used my turban’s magic powers to fly out of there!
In the 1950′s law enforcement tried some unorthodox interrogation techniques. In the picture above New Jersey police were trying to use superstition to coerce a confession out of a reputed mob boss’s wife. The Chief of Police (who had a failed career on Broadway) often dressed up for the part.
“I see only disaster for you if you hook up with that time-traveling starship captian.”
Husband: This is the last straw! I will not eat giant ball for dinner one more time! Enough with the Giant Ball!!!
Wife: You used to love giant ball when we were first married. What has come between us?
Copper: I’d say giant ball!
Audience: laughing
WRGB Announcer: And now it’s time for a word from our sponsor, General Electric…
This is my happy place.
Sesame street, episode #14. Titled: “Circles and why they are important”
“Well, I’m sorry officer– fire, earthquake, it’s all the same idea. Can’t you see they’ve given me a MARBLE ball? I need a CRYSTAL one for it to work right.”

“In which Mrs. Wilson presents the thieves with their ransom: a giant ball of wax. Unbeknownst to the thief however, this ball of wax is a FAKE!”
(and just for the record, I’m not allowed to win, but I can play!)

“As you can see officer, those kids always hit their ball through our window during the dinner hour.”
Unfortunately, Master Rajip was unaware of the cruel joke the other actors were playing on him that night. The crystal ball was replaced with a silver balloon filled with a nasty surprise. The back stage pranks have been long going on long enough and it high time he got his. ON CAMERA.
“One day, all the corporations around the world will make their logo look like this.”
“Ok kids, for the last time, when these NBA players say ‘give me the rock’, this isn’t what they are talking about.”
“Behold, the Statue of Liberty’s Gumball.”
“We are really on to some thing here. We’ll sell millions of these. How about this new globe for the classroom, after a nuclear fallout drill, when all the kids have hudled under their desks, we swap out the recognizable globe with this one. You know, because there won’t be anything left. This represents that. It’s educational.”
Night, after night, after night they sat there waiting for Lewis to levitate the moon ball. The sponsors were loosing interest. The live audience had taken to milling around in the isles, Joe the cop really wasn’t a cop. The grip man was clutching the camera for sanity and any moment Lewis would break out in a sweat, again, night, after night, after night. WAIT a minute! Is that movement?!!! No, the witness sighed.
What we have here is a classic case of “Good Cop/Bad Psychic.”
The matching RFID tags on Officer Samwalton’s hat and uniform offer a glimpse of the future.

The world’s one and only gourmet tofu cupcake surprise was no more.
Habib introduces the world to the latest craze in the world of the supernatural: Psychic Bleaching.
Instead of a human test subject, a simple bright red, blue, and green beach ball was used.

School Teacher: “So, Billy… would you care to tell us where and how you found this ball of playdough and exactly how it came to be in your possesion?”
Billy: “Well, I was out by the swing with the other students and we were playing frisbee. I was just running along like everyone else and the next thing I knew I was flat on my face. When I looked at my feet, I saw this giant ball that I had tripped over. Honest!”
Officer: “I’m not buying it.”
School Teacher: “Me either. You raided the playdough vault again, didn’t you Billy?”

“You’ll never in a million years be able to use that oracle to discover where I’ve hidden the tiny, jagged pieces of the rotting body,” she scoffed quietly to herself. “The officer has already tried to get it out of me.” “But go ahead and try, you funny little bow-tie wearing man.”

…”what am I gonna do with a headless pilsbury doughboy!? We’re on in five minutes! Someone’s gonna get the axe for this one…
bowtie: “what the… you are incompetent!”
the law: (quietly to himself) oh shoot. Alright, relax…think…there’s a back door to the studio on the other side of this set. Just slowly walk backwards and get around the wall before the boss realizes I’m gone.
dame: (quietly to herself) Perming his hair again. Doesn’t he realize how stupid it makes him look? I think that’s the last straw. I don’t care if he owns the studio. I’m dumping him.

Ok, it’s not Friday, but where in the rules does it say it must be Friday when posting in order to win the prize?
