Comments on: Wanted: The next Sam the Lion http://gearino.com/index.php/2008/09/02/wanted-the-next-sam-the-lion/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 19 May 2012 00:07:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: John http://gearino.com/index.php/2008/09/02/wanted-the-next-sam-the-lion/#comment-3751 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:20:52 +0000 http://gearino.com/index.php/2008/09/02/wanted-the-next-sam-the-lion/#comment-3751 What a dilemma! It seems only we three-leggers participated in G. Dan's Name That Character for A Kiss Contest. Fortunately (for me and Mikey and Terrell - who I think was multi-blogging with WAW and www.dawgnation.com - boy I bet they were scratching their heads over his "Last Picture Show" response) only Doug and Uncle Frank got the right answer. Fortunately for Uncle Frank, Doug was first with the correct answer. Unfortunately for Uncle Frank, Doug's declined his "prize", in writing, with a seal of a local notary public and a Larry Craig-esque disclaimer. Uncle Frank, it just ain't your lucky day.

Uncle Frank, it just ain’t your lucky day.

Though I got the right answer I will pass on my reward. Feel free to give it to Terrell Pryor.

Shoot, even if the lion was named Sam, that wasn't the right answer either. Hell. Leo's such a corny name for a mascot. That's like calling a dog Spot or a cat Morris. I could really use consoling right now. How about that Rice A Roni? It's the San Francisco treat, you know. Of that I'm positive.

Named after Samuel Goldwin maybe? A Yankee Dime. Jeez. Pucker up, Gearino. And no tongues. Cripes. I never win anything worith a damn. This is worse than that case of Rice A Roni I got as a consolation prize on JOKERS WILD. How about we share an email handshake instead? They say a tie is like kissing your sister. Well, after considering the alternative prize for winning (planting a wet one on you) I'd trade my left coccyx for my sister right about now. There must be a graceful way outta this. I got it. Disqualify me on a technicality - my answers were in the form of more questions which is wholly unacceptable. It lacks conviction and confidence. Like my mom always said "Sound off like you got a pair!" Maybe one of your pulchritudinous readers will offer up the correct response in its more suitable, declarative form. That gets both of us off the hook. And if my answer is wrong, never mind. Isn’t that the MGM mascot that growled at the beginning of every one of their movies? Named after Samuel Goldwin maybe?
