It was a long drive.
Our buttoms were squashed much longer than expected. To wile the time away, I traded Battle-of-the-Brainless questions with my special gurl. (You might've heard one of these jokes if you watch the Laban o Bawi game.)
Host: This happens to you when you look at Medusa. It starts with the letter S.
Contestant A: Satanismo!
Host: Mali.
Contestant B: Snakes!
Right. (Answer: Stoned.)
Host: Ano ang pambansang isda natin...
Contestant A: Bangus!
Host: Di pa tapos ang question. Mali. Ito ay merong letter I.
Contestant B: I-fish!
Right. (Answer: Milk Fish.)
Host: Ito ang pinakamabilis na sasakyan. May 8 letters ito at dalawang letter O.
Contestant A: Eroplano!
Host: Hmm... ayaw ng judges. Sayang. Mali.
Contestant B: Aircraft!
Right. (Answer: Concorde.)
At this point, my mom butts in.
MOM: Asan na ba tayo? Teka. Alam ko 'to eh.
ME: Capas?
MOM: Hinde. It starts with A.
ME: Apas?
SPECIAL GURL: Haha! Letter A nga eh!
MOM: Alam ko na! Bamban!
It can be infectious, you know. That, or my mom forgot to take her vitamins.

kids should know that...
The height of the game show era began in the early 1970s, thanks in part to the success of popular game shows like The Price Is Right, Match Game, The Joker's Wild and The $10,000 Pyramid. Many of these game shows provided amazing game show sets filled with flashing chase lights and sometimes flashing neon lights. During this golden era, most hosts' wardrobes were supplied by Botany 500. This era of game shows officially ended in the late 1990s, leaving The Price Is Right as the only daytime network game show remaining on U.S. television. In syndication, however, a handful of game shows continue to be popular, including Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!, and to a lesser extent, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Family Feud. (wikipedia)
