Hey, just wanted to point out that Oprah DID in fact pay the taxes on the cars... that's what's so amazing. Oprah's been doing this kind of thing for how long now? She's really getting it down to an art. The "favorite things" episodes no longer have a random audience; look at the 2004 show with all teachers, or the more recent 2005 holiday episode, with 350 people who volunteered for Hurricane Katrina Relief. Give the women some credit (or at least look into it) before you critisize her. :)

you got any pics of yourself on the show? man, eric's brush with greatness! (sort of) it's cool that you were able to do well on a game show. i'd freak out. my stepsons kept urging me to go on vh1's rock & roll jeapardy (because i could answer almost all of the questions)....but i'm sure if i sent on there i'd forget who the leader of the Steve Miller band was.

I had some semi-substantial winnings on Tic Tac Dough in my early-20s and believe me, the feds were all over that before I got home that day

A government so greedy (and believe me, nearly every government in the world has tax rules like that) makes me ashamed.

Those women weren't just jumping up and down and screaming. At least one of them was literally humping her new car. I never saw anything so silly in my life!
