    Fella was pretty excited even before he managed to win $31,500 (hitting the $10,000 slot three out of five times).

    Plinko would be a must on my "I Pick" Price is Right show.

    Probably (in order of appearance):
    1. Plinko
    2. Hole in One (or Two!)
    3. Punch-a-Bunch
    ---
    4. Range Finder (assuming it hasn't been 37 hours since it was last played)
    5. One Away (Ladies, do I have all five numbers right?)
    6. Cliffhanger (I am not ashamed to admit that, when driving up a large hill -- both of my last two towns have had large ones -- I do the yodel from this bit).

    I remember when you didn't get a mulligan in Hole in One. Back when men were men.

    I remember when they'd do the four-prize game and all four prizes were L.A. sports season tickets.

    The sound of the plinking is mesmerizing. Same with the sound of Chuck Woolery's Scrabble when they dropped the tiles through the slot.

    Best thing about Plinko is the prize: Cash.

    When you win a trip on TPIR, all the flights are from LA. Not sure how that works out if you don't live there, but I'm sure you pay for the different and/or extra flight.

    And on both cars and trips, you pay a lot of tax because the prizes are considered "gift" income.

    Not if you insure it then set it on fire.

    I was half watching today. When the guy spun the wheel, he did it in a way that swept him onto the floor. Weirdo.

    Every once in a while, someone slips as they spin. They've put a mat down now. Before, people were just spinning while standing on the slippery floor.

    Do they still have 10 Chances? I would clean up with that one. The prices end in 0.
