MY AUDITION FOR WHEEL OF FORTUNE!
Why do I always get myself into things like this? Always - - with the dorky adventures and ridiculous escapades. Well, this weekend was nothing short of "the usual" silliness... AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
Momma decided to go to Tulsa and put my name in to audition for Wheel of Fortune. Why? You ask? Well, I am not sure - just sounded like fun.
So I get there yesterday and I was late thanks to the lovely Crystal who had to brush her hair FOREVER, and made me have to speed to the casino. Well, thankfully my cousin Melissa was there waiting and got me a application to fill out. There were a ba-jillion people there, some of which were dressed up like the big wheel (I kid you NOT) and some just looking like wierdo's in general. We were talking and I said "What aret he odds of one of us getting called?" About that time They say "ALL THE WAY FROM OKLAHOMA CITY - - JOY KETCH"
I screams HECK YES! and started running to the front like one of those silly freaks on The Price is Right giving everybody high 5's all the way down. They took my picture and I waited for my chance onstage.
NOW...
They tell you they want to see alot of personality. They want to see you really show what you can do. Basically, they want to know you can handle a huge crowd. Hah. They dont know Joy. Heh heh heh.
I get up there, he asks my name, asks what I do and what my hobbies were. I said that I sing at which point he interrupts and says DID YOU SAY SING???
Heck yes I said sing...
He hands me the mic and asks me to sing something. I told the audience that I am a greek with a very long maiden name. As a child my Mom had to teach us a song to help us learn how to spell it. (well it IS 13 letters)
It is to the tune of the song OKLAHOMA
P eeeeeeeeeee

PAPPADOPOULOS!!
I had everyone clapping in time to the song.
It was great. I love that I get myself into crap like this. Its the stuff that makes me cool in my kids eyes.
So then its time to play the game.
The category was before and after.
There were 5 of us up there. We cycled through 2 times and when it came to me the 3rd time i had guessed it. I picked a Z!
The puzzle was ZIP CODE OF CONDUCT.
I ROCKED THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE AUDITIONS!
My big prize was a Wheel of Fortune fanny pack, a keychain and a blinky pin that looked like the wheel. Hoh yeah. Don't be jealous...
So they will call me when (and if) they want me to come back for finals. If I do well there then I guess I will get to be on the show! OMG OMG OMG!
Big Money, big money!
Pat Sajack rocks my universe, lolol!

OMG!!
I so remember you!! I was waiting on the sidelines to go on while you were singing your pappadopoulos song! I was the one in the I'm a Wheel Watcher T-shirt and recited the poem about: I have a buddy, my buddy's a toad...
I wrote all about it on my blogsite: threepiratesmom.blogspot.com
I hope we get to the finals together!! And yes, I remember the freaky lady with the clown hair and face paint and such!! At least she wasn't rude like the freak-lady Saturday at the Flea Market!! THAT lady was a freak AND she was tacky!! I'm thinking she probably shouldn't be both!!
