This is what I do with my life.

I don't know if you kids have ever seen Lingo, in case you haven't, it's a show on the Game Show Network, it's a word puzzle game, maybe I'll just find a description and post that. on second thought, it bothers to explain unnecessary things, so fuck that noise.
Here's the shakes of it:
You have 5 guesses to guess the word they want you to guess. They give you the first letter, and that is it. So, let's say they give you an "M." You might guess "Mound" It then tells you if you have any of the letters right, and if they are in the correct position. So, it might go "Mound" With only the "M" right. The you might guess "March." Let's pretend the r is not only right, but in the right position, and it tells you the a is right, but not in the correct position, so now you know it's M-R--, with an A somewhere in the mix. So maybe you guess "Moral" and it's right, huzzah. Now you know the shakes of the game. Moving on.
Some of the contestant on this game have to be the most retarded people ever. This Asian couple, that include a woman named JooBee, yeah, that's right, JooBee. They get the letter "C." Now the remainder of what I say is not necessarily verbatim, but it was something akin to this.
The board goes like this: with letters they get correct and in right position capitalized, I would go further into right letter but wrong position, but it is not necessary.

COuld
COver
COves
COuld

Okay, normally they would get one more guess, but Alan, JooBee's partner said Could, which they had already guessed. Let me break the rest of the board down. Cover, that's a good guess, it introduces three new letters, none of them are right, so moving on. They guess coves, it only introduces one new letter, very poor lingo strategy. Then the brainbox says Could again, and it then goes to the other team, because that's nto allowed, I surmise. The other team got one extra letter, it was a c. COC, they guess cocoa right away and win.

The are even more examples of this stupidity. In the final round you get a chance to use bonus letters, it gives you an opportunity to move quickly, because it's like a lightning round. These two dudes, who I still think may have been gay, Terreance, a black guy, and Tate, a white dude. They get a GL---. First guess is Glove. Every letter is right except the V. Let's think this one out GLO-E. What could it possibly be? Well, they didn't know, and they sat there and stared for about ten seconds, and finally one of them said bonus letter, and it put the "B" up. So, there it is GLOBE. Heres the catch, you still have to bother to spell it out, you have to say the word, then spell it out, to make sure the judges know what you mean, usually it applies in the game, but even if it is all the way spelled out, they make you spell it out. the white dude, first of all, pronounces it GLOOB. Then, after staring at the word for about 10 more seconds, the black dude finally realizes they need to spell it. It was painful. If you want to feel smart, and can stand to listen to Chuck Woolery watch the show and watch the stupid people go!
