Subject: Short Attention Span Theater's take on the $10,000 pyramid

The other night, SAST had at least three hilarious sketches parodying  
the $10,000 pyramid.  I wished I'd had a tape in the VCR, but they went  
by pretty fast.  I just *might* be able to translate one of them into  
text and make it funny, so here goes.

(For those not in the know, the $10,000 pyramid involves a secret  
category and two teammates.  One teammate is shown the category and  
gives examples as clues to his or her partner, who must guess the  
category.)



Alf is giving clues to Bob.  The category comes up:  "Streets of  
Rejkavic, Iceland."  Alf gives a knowing look, and speaks deliberately  
and confidently...


Alf:  "Third."

Bob looks confused.

Alf:  "Thiiiiiiiird."

Bob:  

Alf:  "Fourth, third."

Bob:

Alf:  "Fooouuurth."

Bob still has no clue.

Alf:  "Maaaaaiiiin."

Bob:

Alf:  "Main, third, fourth, maaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiin."

Bob leaps out of his chair, "Streets of Rejkavic, Iceland!"


Applause, and the next category comes up:  "Things a pinyata might say."   
Alf looks a little lost as to what clues to give.


Alf:  "Uh...  I like having... young children... dance under me."

Bob:  "Things Ricardo Montalban might say."

Alf:  "Uh...  Come on and beat me with that stick, you big Mexican."

Bob:  "Things Angie Dickenson might say."

Alf:  "I've got some candy for you."

Bob:  "Things a pinyata might say!"


More applause.  The third category comes up:  "Things in the universe."


Alf:  "Mars, the Milky Way."

Bob:  "Candy bars."

Alf:  "Uh...  planets, solar systems, stars, lots and lots of stars."

Bob:  "Things in a Carl Sagan special."

Alf:  "Everything you've ever known, touched, or experienced."

Bob:  "Things you'd find at Sears."




I'm afraid that's all I can remember, but I hope you've enjoyed it.
