I didn't spill the beans because I didn't want to spoil the fun for everyone else and because I don't have a quote in mind for the next round.

[PhilippaConnors]

I actually have two quotes that I'd like to put out there - one is probably easier than the other...but then we're all such diehard fans of this show that perhaps the quote I first thought up won't be as difficult as I think it will be. Guess I'll just have to try to solve another puzzle down the road to use my other quote. It's fun to be able to do this, because the show has so many funny lines.

Okay, well on that note -

*resuming no-nonsense game show voice*

I'd like to solve the puzzle, FiRocks. (if that's okay with everyone, of course!)

Go ahead and solve the puzzle. Of course it's okay with everyone! (uh...was it okay with everyone for me to say that? HaHa!)

LOL!!!!

Okay, then -

Is it:

[Oh, how I wish Wheel of Fortune still had those rooms filled with prizes...I don't know when they stopped doing this, but I know in the late 80s they were still giving away actual prizes that you had to buy with your earnings. Does anyone else remember this? And you know, you couldn't walk away with more than X amount of cash (I think it was maybe $250? I'm not sure). Anyway, there'd always be some expensive but lunatic item that people could buy that was worth about $200 or thereabouts...a porcelain dalmation. A box of insanely pricey stationery. A gold-plated ashtray, lol. My best friend and I in high school used to play a hangman version of Wheel of Fortune and would actually go so far as to create fake prizes to bid on with our earnings. I'll have to ask her if she remembers this (and whether she'd be willing to resurrect our Wheel of Fortune game playing days! ]

ETA: I've tried a dozen ways to try to make this more readable, but alas haven't had any success...hopefully with a few more letters this will become easier to read!
