Winning Strategy
I think this all started with Indecent Proposal, where (spoiler alert!) Demi Moore has sex with Robert Redford for one million dollars and then her husband is all upset about it, because the money's great, but his wife is, well, a whore, which makes him cranky.
So then normal people started asking their friends if they'd sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars (and the answer is, "sure, but where would I get the million dollars?") and then the game degenerates into someone asking "for fun", "who's the most disgusting person that you'd sleep with for a million dollars?" to see who will outgross everyone else. And trust me on this, people will say "Tom Cruise, he's such a Scientologist and a weirdo" or "Mel Gibson--that drunk Republican anti-semite."
Well, I'm here to share my winning strategy.
"A threesome with Andy Rooney and Giuliani."
No one will beat you and it's not like you'll have to prove it by actually having sex with these people, so what do you have to lose?
Well, maybe your dignity, but since you're playing this game in the first place, I'm guessing you're not at the local Mensa chapter meeting to begin with. Or whatever the dignity equivalent of Mensa is.
Have a great weekend and good luck getting that image out of your mind!
Announcements:
The winner of the Shopping Spree Giveaway will be announced tomorrow. The contest closes tonight at 8 pm EST.
Recap of the rules is here.
Also, Jessica,Wendi, Christy, Anna and Kelcey (that's comedy royalty, people!) have put in to do a room of their own at BlogHer '09 on the topic of "Humor'. It's called, "Dying is Easy, Comedy is Hard". If you're interested in being a part of it, we'd love you to sign up. Go to this link and tell BlogHer that you'll go to the room to hear these funny ladies. I'll be there too, taking notes and fetching them coffee. And maybe looking through their purses.
And have you been to Secret Spineless Whine yet? I think you really owe it to yourself to check it out.

That is such a funny game, I have never played! I am tired so I probably couldn't have sex with anybody!
Nope won't be playing that game!
You win.
I've never heard of that game...but it's probably because I live so close to sheep and cowboys. (Don't make me draw you a picture.)
I'll go to the Blogher as you have requested, my queen.
Thanks for the image. Now I've successfully lost my appetite.
And you are fight about the comedy royalty! You should be in that group, too.
I usually say that I will sleep with whomever is asking for one million bucks, but that I normally charge two million. That usually ends the conversation so we can move onto something more productive.
You know, after 9/11 totally could have jumped Giuliani's bones. (Did I just admit that?)
Swap him for Blagojevich and that's one frightening combo.
Um, I'll pass. I will however go to that blogger link for the comedy royalty - even though I sadly won't be in attendance.
This shameless self promotion is nauseating.
Teach me.
And trust me, Mensa is overrated. Oh yeah, I know.
Geez...don't get the game. I totally would have done Robert Redford for a million. But Andy Rooney..gag...
Coco
I think that I will pass playing that game. lol
If we can just say that you win, then the rest of us don't have to play and you don't get your money.
God...I think I need to take a shower!
:)
You are such a whore Madrinka!
A threesome?
Can I watch?
AND yes I did use spell check!
Yikes, my mind is permanently scarred from that image. I concede victory to you. :-)
Sounds like you're going to have a good night.
Carrot Top & Mickey Rourke - ewww.
You totally win.
Yeah, I'm with Angie, I'm pretty sure I'm scared for life!
I don't think it'd be THAT unpleasant--I hear Andy can do magic things with those eyebrows of his. And he's WAY sexier than Larry King, who are we kidding?
And thanks for volunteering to be our BlogHer runner. But watch out cause I hear that Jessica is a HUGE diva.
Tom Cruise is gross enough!
Tim Burton and Carrot Top
A million dollars? Hm.
I play this game all the time. Seriously, I am a degenerate. My friends and I do a game called Would You Rather?
You pick 3 people. You have to sleep with one, murder the other, and one walks away scot free.
Lots of fun, hours of fun.
I don't think Giuliani would be that bad... I'd consider Andy Rooney if he weren't so *old*... I'd probably have to do all the work! Hey, a million dollars is a million dollars!
Sub Cheney for Guilani and I'll kick any extra sawbuck your way.
Andy Rooney...with those wonderful eyebrows....something about him is so sweet. But RG...icky. Even with lipstick.
I can't believe that I gave you people my winning strategy, for free, I might add, and you're all like "I've never played that game" "Eww" and "No, thanks."
You know there's a word for people like you, right? Liars. Ungrateful liars.
except for Deb. And Scary Mommy with her Rudy lust--wtf?!
;) xo
I am far too whimpy for this game! You, on the other hand, must have some serious mind over matter skills.
Um, that combo qualifies for 3 million dollars.
I've seen Robery Redford. His eyes melted the snow right off my eyelashes. I'd find a million dollars for that.
You have quite a winning strategy, but there are a number of people that aren't worth a million dollars!
Good game... I can't even think who'd I'd pick!
Great strategy!
Oh, I love playing "What if?" games. Like, would you let Mike Tyson punch you in the face for a million dollars? With the cash you could reconstruct your face and still have some left over!
A million? I'd boink anything!
My ex husband.
you know a million doesn't go as far as it used to, so my standards have gone up. i'd have to get 2 mil for anyone less attractive than that guy that plays the new bond.
Ummm...yea...you win. Hands down...Just don't give the details afterwards. I want to keep my lunch.
We have a couple of similar games here in the UK.
You nominate three gross people (usually celebs) and the other person has to pick who to marry, who to have sex with, and who to go on a year long cruise with.
The other one is 'Dog or Dish' Flick through the pages of celeb mags and indicate dog or dish, fifi or fido, with regards to each celeb photo. Who to shag, who to bag?
Hours of endless entertainment for those of us who are fickle and like trashing other people we haven't met!
I'll trump you with Larry King and Dubya.
Ok after meeting Salma Hayek in person yesterday (read about it here:
http://momtrends.blogspot.com/2009/02/momtrends-exclusive-talk-with-salma.html)
she should be on everyone's list. Fun post!
I cannot believe it is Friday already! I hope I win.
now i'm all embarrassed b/c of that one night with andy rooney. i was drunk people.
We used to play this game during board meetings using the board members... and I worked for an actors' union so there were ALLLLL sorts of interesting people to consider... and by interesting i mean "gross, not so very gross, and extremely hot"
ewww. you win.
I can't think of how to top Rooney and Giulliani.
Unless you throw in George Bush or Cheney.
Lesson Learned. Never play games with Marinka. She will win at whatever cost (almost, unless it requires too much energy) and sear your brain with nasty images in the process!
Between your selection and WhackyGrandma's YUCK!
i'm so hoping there's a "twist" to your contest, and before the winner can claim the prize, s/he has to have sex w/andy & rudy. that'd be awesome.
I believe that Smores for Breakfast wins with Bush and Cheney. The thought! Gag!
I like the way you think! If you're going to play don't use some has been teen idol semi attractive weirdo go for the gross out!
Bush, Cheney, and Nancy Grace.
I so win.
Hmmmm....
I've heard of this game, but never had to play. I also say "You win."
No comment.
Oh wait, this IS a comment.
My answer for that game would have a lot to do with the conditions. Would I actually have to "participate", Could I watch TV or listen to my ipod to keep my mind off the grossness, could I erase my memory afterward. The caliber of my choice (on a grossness level) would really depend on this. And honestly - Indecent Proposal is so dated now... I how far does a million dollars go these days?
i am playing.
I can't play that game!!
CRAP!! I wish I was damn rich and could go to BlogHer.
damn damn damn.
Woo-Hee! Just back from a quick shower after your "winning" threesome suggestion. [shudder]
THANK YOU for the shout-out, oh, Gracious Bloggerina! We/I truly appreciate it. I will leave lots of tasty snacks in my purse in case you happen to rummage through mine.
[Note to self: leave safety ON on the Glock that's rolling around somewhere in the bottom of my purse so there's no accidental disruption during our riveting presentation.]
XOXO
A.
Dick Cheney and Sean Hannity -- now excuse me while I go puke.
You really are outrageously hilarious. No one could be worse than that combo (though I'm going to give it my serious consideration).
Ewwwww!!!!! Yea, I think you'd win that game!
I'm not very impressed...you could have gone with Woody Allen!
You stole my answer! Now I'm going to have to go to Secret Spineless Whine and complain!!!
How about Gene Shalit and Willard Scott?
I win.
you can have sex with me for free!
that's what my husband says anyhow.
Oh damn, I can't sleep with someone even a little bit disgusting for a million dollars. I-just-can't. Because I'm a woose. A sook. A sookie woose. A woosie sook. IT'S NOT FAIR!!!! (wail!)
You know you have reached mid life when you know, deep down, that who you will do for a million is a question with a scary answer. Like, what kind of freak would pay me a mllion??
I so wish I could go to BlogHer...
BTW You really should be on the comedy panel. You make me laugh every single time I come over here.
