I was thinking of some ideas of things you SHOULD NOT do if you want to be a contestant on TPIR.
1- Wear a fur coat
2- Wear T shirts that say
"I love Dian" (or any former TPIR model, but ESPECIALLY Dian)
"My cat (dog or whatever animal) just had kittens (or puppies or whatever)"
"Heck with Bob, I want to kiss RICH FIELDS"
"Monty, I want to make a deal!"
"I want to win a MAZDA"
-
More bad T-Shirt ideas:
"WHO FARTED?"
"RANDY GOT SCREWED"
"I <CLUB> MY PET" (however, "I <SPADE> MY CAT" might get you called)
"I KNOW HOW TO PLAY BLANK CHECK"
"I AM NOT PART OF A UNIVERSITY GROUP"

LOL!! Thanks for keeping the thought alive!! I really am laughing out loud!!
Meanwhile I'm alive and well, happily earning a respectable paycheck, ironically from the very same payroll account. But most importantly I'm far richer for the entire experience with Mr. Barker, Roger, the Fremantle family, and the staff and crew at CBS. Things have a way of working out. I'm thrilled with the incredible luck I've enjoyed in my career, and the many new friends I've made on this board and from my TPiR experience.
But I still nominate Chris for the laugh of the week award!

Another T-shirt that won't get you on TPiR...

...of course, if a contestant *only* wore such a shirt, would you even be allowed into CBS Television City?

Reminds me of the "Inferno" episode of Coupling (UK). Jane tries to pass herself off as "bi-vegetarian," and when her psychiatrist Jill tries to tell her that's not possible, she torments her at dinner by giving the lamb chops sound effects, capping it off by saying, "If you like animals, you'll love lamb!" (What I am saying in so many words is that this could be a variation on the quoted legend)
Anyway, this is a thread that needs to go on and on forever. So, how about...
