Flashback Friday #6

Big Money, NO Whammies!!!!

Flashback Friday #6 is brought to you by the 80s game show: Press Your Luck.  I thought this would be an appropriate end to the month of June, AKA the month of whammies.  I totally forgot about this show, until I sat down to do my Flashback Friday post, reflecting on our luck as of late.  

For those of you who don't recall the show, boy did you miss you miss out :)  It is not for the feint of heart.  If I remember correctly, it was a question/answer game.  If you got a question right (buzzing in) you got to spin the board that would light up around your face on TV.  On the board were different squares, some with prizes and "big money", and some with the dreaded Whammy! If you landed on the money or the prize, it went to you and I think you got it in the end if you collected the most, BUT if you landed on a Whammy, too bad so sad...he steals all your prizes and money.  My favorite part was the cartoon of the Whammy coming across the screen to take your loot.  Stupid Whammy.  I enjoyed watching the light go around the board at home yelling "STOP!" as if I were playing too.  The contestant selecting would have their face in the middle for added drama, and often times they would be chanting "Big money, big money, no whammies.....STOP!" hahahaha

Maybe my mantra for July will be exactly that...but I guess I wouldn't be sticking to the true meaning of "mantra" if I'm seeking "earthly pleasures" like money and prizes...hmm..."Baby, Baby, no whammies" - I guess that has a nice ring to it.  Happy Flashback Friday!
