I'm not sure if it is publicly known but Bob Barker from the daytime game show The Price is Right was involved in many sexual harassment lawsuits with the women that he worked with. They were ironically called The Barker Beauties. The lawsuits were kept very hush-hush and not much information was known, until now. I have with me today one of Barker's Beauties who is going to sit down and do an exclusive first time interview with me here on 'Just the Cheese'. Please welcome to the stage Ivonna Bangkok.

The Movie Game with Guest Host Passionofthemom
Today I have a special surprise (well not a surprise cuz I told you about it on Monday). Passionofthemom is guest posting the movie game. She won the movie game so this is her prize. Now she worked hard on creating these questions so even if you don't know them you should still leave a comment for her. You will be emailing her your answers, not me. Email answers to Passionofthemom@gmail.com. Answers will be posted on Friday.
RULES: I present you with two movies, for example: The Matrix and Miss Congeniality. The object of the game is to link them together to another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Speed using Keanu Reeves from The Matrix and Sandra Bullock from Miss Congeniality. Another example is: Link Top Gun & The Shining. The answer is A Few Good Men, using Tom Cruise from Top Gun and Jack Nicholson from The Shining. Get it?
Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to hard and sometimes I like to throw in a challenging one to test those true movie buffs. You earn points for correct answers and I keep track of every one's points on the side of my blog. There is going to be a prize awarded to the winner. Try not to use the Internet. This is a game of memory and skill. I ONLY ACCEPT ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF AN EMAIL, DO NOT PUT YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, LET EVERYONE HAVE A FAIR CHANCE AT PLAYING. EMAIL ANSWERS TO Passionofthemom@gmail.com. GOOD LUCK!!
Easy -- The In-Laws (2003) to EdTV (1 point)
Medium -- Better Off Dead to Beethoven (2 points)
Hard -- Soapdish to Wayne's World (3 points)
Challenge -- The Good Shepherd to Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny to Primal Fear (5 points)Here is the new addition to the game. It's sort of like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon but instead of using Mr. Bacon I am going to give you 2 random actors/actresses and you have to find the quickest link using movies. For example: Will Smith to Al Pacino. The answer could be: Will Smith in Men in Black with Tommy Lee Jones who is in Batman Forever with Chris O'Donnell who is in Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. If you finding a quicker link than good for you. The less movies you use, the more points you get.
Link: Anton Yelchin to Justin Bartha
Points are as follows:
In same movie together: 5 points
Using 2 movies: 4 points
3 movies: 3 points
4 movies: 2 points

Battle of the Cereal Mascots: Semi-Finals Round One
In today's match we have Snap, Crackle & Pop versus Toucan Sam. As per the rules in the first battle the Rice Krispies boys can only fight one at a time and tag out when they want to, there will be no ganging up on Toucan Sam. Since I already interviewed both of these characters, I wanted to get the opinions of some fellow co-workers. Before the fight I interview the Janitor and Camera Man #3.


PTM: How do you feel about today's combatants?
Janitor: Those dweebs? I’ve seen more roughhousing at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Rehearsals.
PTM: What do you use to clean up blood after the match?
Janitor: It’s this cool trick my mama taught me called the Sponge Bob Band-aid.
PTM: In your professional opinion, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
PTM: On a cold winter night, do you prefer the taste of Rice Krispies or Froot Loops?
Janitor: Hell, if I’m gonna eat that **** at all, it ain’t gonna happen on a cold winter night. I’m just sayin’.
PTM: Camera Man #3 has been talking smack about you for the past week. How do you feel about that?
PTM: One last question, Can you shampoo the couch that's in my office? RawknRobyn and Camera Man #2 left some stains on it last night.
Janitor: RawknRobyn? Dang, she acts all sweet and innocent. No wonder they call her “Rawkn” (said with an elbow nudge). Don’t worry about the stains, man. I’ll just pour red wine onto it, and you won’t see them anymore. It’s a little trick I learned while working at the White House in the 90’s.
PTM: Is it true that you have a gold statue of Toucan Sam in your house?
Camera Man #3: Yeah, in the corner of my bedroom. His nose is so long, he’s my idol!
PTM: Does it bother you that RawknRobyn is fooling around with Camera Man #2?
Camera Man #3: Nah, the only thing that bothers me about her (‘cuz she’s pretty damn near perfect, actually) is that she writes all this crap about celibacy on her blog, like she’s some hoity toity expert on the matter. I’m telling you, that little hot number doesn’t know the first thing about celibacy.
PTM: Did you vote for Obama?
Camera Man #3: Who’s that?
PTM: Why do you have a problem with the janitor?
Camera Man #3: One night when I was putting my equipment away, he walked by pointing and laughing at my lens, saying he never saw one so small. It really hurt my feelings. You know? Gotta tissue?
PTM: Have you always wanted to be a camera man since you were a little kid?
Camera Man #3: Nah, I just always wanted a bigger lens. I thought I might get one this way.
PTM: Okay, final question. What do you think of these shoes? I stole them out of Cap'n Crunch's locker last week.
Camera Man #3: Dude, those are some big, long shoes. I’m impressed (said while giving PTM a high-five).
I want to thank RawknRobyn from Life by Chocolate for playing the Janitor and Camera Man #3. If you don't follow her blog already then there is something wrong with you. Now the most important part, it's time to vote. And you are not voting for the Janitor or Camera Man #3, don't forget the battle is between Snap, Crackle & Pop and Toucan Sam. Polls close on Sunday at 11:57pm. The next round will commence next Tuesday. Come back tomorrow for Passionofthemom's Movie Game Guest Post.

Inside the Actor's Studio
PTM: My first question I know is on every one's mind. What does the "E" stand for in Wile E. Coyote?
PTM: Interesting., I thought it stood for Egbert. What is your life like when you aren't chasing the Road Runner?
PTM: Good for you. Do you have any kids?
PTM: I'm sure that kid tasted like pot roast. Are you friends with Road Runner off the set?
PTM: I ordered those skates once, they were hard to use and there was no instruction manual. If you could make a career change right now, what would you do?
PTM: A vegan coyote? Now I've heard everything. I heard a rumor that your wife had an affair with Foghorn Leghorn, is that true?
PTM: That's sad, I would of eaten that over sized rooster. Do you get tired of chasing that Road Runner? Do you wish that they would just end it and let you catch him?
PTM: Like how Trix Rabbit doesn't get the cereal. This last question is from one of our audience members, Gayle Prudent from High Ridge, Colorado writes: I love you Wile, you are the reason why I became an Ostrich farmer. My question is, how do you feel about Linda McMahon running for senator of Connecticut?
PTM: Well said sir. Well that's all the time we have today.I want to thank Wile for sitting down with us today and also for not eating any of my camera men.
If you haven't yet go vote on the 3rd round of the battle of the cereal mascots. Polls close on Sunday at 11:59pm.
Something else to enjoy.

Special Guest Interview
PTM: So Robyn which interview do you think went better and why?
PTM: I totally understand. I just took some Ritalin with the Janitor. Thanks Frank!
Did anything I say during the interviews shock you?
Is it true that you were paid by the Mars Company to conduct those interviews? If yes, how much did they give you?
PTM: I spoke with the Uranus Company before the show and they said they have never met you or even heard of you before. I think you were hallucinating again.
Have you had a chance to try the coconut m&m's yet?
PTM: We are stricken with budget cuts too, no tissues. Just wipe your tears on your chair. I will loosen the restraints for you.
In only 4 1/2 words describe Camera Man #3.
PTM: You do know that he has a glandular problem?
If you were stuck on a deserted island what cheese flavored food would you want to eat?
PTM: Oh I forgot about the cheesiness of Swiss Miss, that takes me back to Kindergarten.
That's all the time we have for today. It's time for Robyn's chocolate shot, she gets cranky without it, I want to thank Camera Man #3 for not filing that lawsuit against Robyn. (I told him it was the meds talking). If you haven't read the interviews on Life by Chocolate, you can go HERE and HERE.

Have we found the one?
This is Golden Girl (aka Nicole) coming to you live from Powdered Toast Headquarters with a wedding update for all those interested in the planning. However, before I get to the good details, I must say a few things. First off…for those of you who think I am a heartless person who doesn’t comment on the posts toast man writes about me, it's true I don’t comment, because I am not a fan of blogger. I tell him in person what I think of his posts. The only reason I am writing on this blog now and comment the rare times that I actually do is to make him happy. In a relationship, there must be some give and take…and this is apparently my give.
I guess I will get started now. I would love to tell you all about our latest adventure in wedding planning. We went out to visit this place called Green Tree Country Club in New Rochelle (New York). Actually, we went and saw this other catering place first, which I’m not even gonna talk about because its not worth mentioning. Anyways back to Green Apple…I mean Green Tree. This is the place I want to get married at. When we were in this place, I got butterflies in my stomach. This place is a historical landmark, a beautiful mansion over 100 years old. This very nice, charming old man and his wife bought this place and turned it into a magnificent wedding/event venue. This place has all original stuff…its HUGE! They have their own huge kitchen and bakery. They even have their own $400,000 back up generator that can probably light up the whole city in the event of a power outage….and the food possibilities are endless.
This is a family run place and the man who bought it is so cute. He is an older gentlemen (ask toast man, I love old men) and I think he took a liking to me, or at least did a very good job selling that feeling to me. What I liked about his style was that he took us on a tour first before going over prices and all that jazz. He is definitely a family man because he was showing us pictures of his grandchildren and telling us about his kids. It feels like our every whim would be met here.
We walked out to the ceremony site where we would actually get married, in the gardens, with a beach backdrop. At every other place we looked, I felt that the aisle was too short…I would like a decent walk…not a mile for god sakes, but I don’t wanna rush, take 3 steps and be at the altar either. This place was just right. The ballrooms where the party would be are huge and each are classic and I know we could really rock the house. I’m getting goose pimples thinking about it again.
The only downfall to this place would be the pricing. But compared to everywhere we have seen, this place takes the cake and has the best deals. No ceremony fee or extra gratuity, nor does he except kickbacks from other vendors. What we pay is just the price per plate plus tax and any extra food tables we want that are not included. Its $125 per plate…a lil more then I wanted…I just don’t know if I will find a place that will give me that feeling again. I DON’T WANT TO SETTLE!
Thinking about marrying toast man gives me the best feeling inside. I see myself walking down the aisle to him and becoming Mrs. Powdered Toast Man. I think about it everyday. I cant wait to be a wife and mother. I love you with all my heart and soul, especially when you hold me close like you did at Green Tree by the water. I know no matter what happens or where we end up, walking down the aisle to you will be the happiest moment of my life.
This is Golden Girl signing off from Powdered Toast Headquarters and remember, I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine.

The Movie Game Guest Post
The winner of this Movie Game will be awarded the chance to help me with the next round of movie game questions.
If you have never played before or need a refresher, read ahead...
You are presented with two movies, for example: Independence Day and U.S. Marshalls. The object of the game is to link them together using another movie by connecting the actors/actresses. The link in this case is Men In Black using Will Smith from Independence Day and Tommy Lee Jones from U.S. Marshalls. Now they all aren't this easy and sometimes there are multiple answers. The questions range from easy to challenging. Good luck!!
Easy - Link : X-Men & Transformers
Medium - Link: RocknRolla & Snake Eyes
Hard - Link: Iron Man & Little Nicky
Challenge - Link: Charlie's Angels & Elf & 16 Blocks
NEW Super Duper Challenge : Try linking the two quotes via the movie they appear in to the other. Same premise as above but instead of being given the movies, you must first figure it out what movies they are in by the quote then link them. This question will be worth 12 points
"There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die." & "Oh, what large teeth you have. I mean white sparkly teeth, I know you probably hear this all the time from your food but you must bleach or something, 'cause that's one dazzling smile you got there and do I detect a hint of minty freshness?"
Remember to email Nippy @ draydencrystalfyre@yahoo.com. I am a contestant this week. I am playing along too. Go check out Nippy's blog when you get a chance. Answers will post Friday morning. The Movie Game is taking a break for a few weeks. It will be back sooner than you know it. If you just came in late, go check out all the old Movie Game posts.

Mega Man vs. Earthworm Jim
We all Have our preferences when it comes to our beloved video game characters, so today I decided to take two of my favorite characters and pit them against one another in a Pro Vs. Con Match up to determine the Ultimate winner.
First up we have Mega Man also known as the Blue Bomber or Rockman in Japan.
Pros
*First off he has a friggin' laser cannon for a hand!! How cool would that be to have? And you can charge it up for those extra large jobs.
*He absorbs the abilities of his fallen foes taking in their strengths to take down others.
*Never has to age and deal with those achy joints or someone trying to sell him some damned age defying creams.
*Has a robot dog named Rush as a faithful sidekick. Imagine if he were trained like Chopper from Stand By Me, that's one helluva clamp that junkyard dog would have. Oh yeah did I mention the dog enabled you to fly?
Cons
* Cute female lead in your game is your sister and although the Japanese are freaky they aren't like our southern Hill Billies. Sorry Mega Man no robo booty for you. No amount of enemy power absorption is gonna get rid of that blue!
*Forever stuck as a child which brings us to our next con.
* Dr. Light seems to get an awful lot of joy from popping open his chassis and taking him for a spin, that poor little robo boy.
Pros
* He has a super suit that makes him really strong , and a really big ray gun ....... sorry got caught going off into his cartoon theme song.
* Can totally use himself as a whip which has worked well in his current career as an Asexual Dominatrix.
*Has a loyal side kick named Peter Puppy and let's face it, chicks dig cute puppies.
* His suit also works as a huge storage compartment for all his gear which he currently rents out to a large group of interstellar illegal aliens. Gotta make some extra cash with no game revenue coming in.
Cons
* That cute adorable puppy we spoke of earlier goes into random roid rages on Jim whenever he gets slightly hurt, making for some interesting hospital visits especially after Jim had watched the movie Road Trip.
* Princess Whats-her-face will forever be beyond Jim's grasp. After all he is still just an earthworm but hey some chicks might be into that.
* Only 2 major games of note and no current games in development that I am aware of, which is unfortunate.
It was a long and arduous decision but I would have to go ahead and declare Mega Man the Winner. Besides where else can you find a boss character named Boomer Kawanger? This is Nippy the Penguin signing off. Until next time my fine feathered friends keep on sliding along the icy shores of life!
