Don't judge me, it was raining, cold and miserable outside and so mindless channel surfing was completely justified.
Now I must admit that I felt significantly jarred by The Host and his Bert and Ernie eyebrows. Then again, he wasn't nearly as offensive as Richard Dawson and his big bag of 1970's slap and tickle bullshit.
No matter.
And so the survey question read as follows:
Name an item you would want to have with you if you were being chased by a vampire.
--an entirely realistic question bound for the quantitative survey of 100 random people if ever I heard one.
And so naturally Andrea, from the animated ménage otherwise known as The Clark Clan, answered with the following:
--a wooden spoon.
I suppose what she meant to say was:
--a wooden spoon, a pocket knife and an inherent ability to whittle said wooden spoon into a wooden stake whilst under extreme stress.
I mean, clearly that's what Andrea had intended, however due to the productive time constraints for which television is required to adhere, I'm confident that the remainder of her answer--that is, her complete answer--was left on the cutting room floor.
These things happen.

Survey says - FLAMETHROWER!
I miss Richard Dawson. I miss Running Man. I miss Hogan's Heroes.
Oh my lord. A wooden spoon?!
Is this like the whole, "Our nation's children don't have maps" thing?
Andrea is no Susan Boyle. Now if only Susan had had a wooden spoon...
I would like to reference anywhere that wooden spoons can substitute for wooden stakes. Unless of course the wooden spoon was only used to cook garlic soup on a regular basis. I may not know my Vampire folklore but I'm sure they only had wooden spoons back then and I find it strange that some poor serf somewhere didn't decide to use a wooden spoon to save herself, but apparently only the rich folks could afford a real wooden stake because they are the only ones that had them. I will have to ponder this more or watch Twilight?
