I hope we all learned something today. Then we all can be winners. I’m Dick Clark. So long, everybody.
Anyone else thinking we need to hide Basil’s matches and keep him away from reporters?
But wait, you can’t use part of the answer in your clue, so in the last box, when the word “American” was used, you blew it and lost. Sorry. 🙁
[A review of the videotape shows that Nipsey Russell actually said “people” and not “Americans”. The transcript has been corrected to reflect this. – B.]
Here Basil…have my matches. But be careful! They’re flammable!
[Now, in my mind, I’m making a list of “Things That Are Flammable.” – B.]
Things That Are Flammable:
Hippies
Hippies
Hippies
Hippies
Iraqi tanks
Hippies
Things that are flamable
Rocks! I see lots of fires in Egypt and the only thing the protesters have to fight the military with are rocks…therefore rocks burn. Science!
[Don’t get me wrong, these are all good items for a list of things that are flammable. But no one has gone “there” yet? Seriously? The most obvious answer for this crew hasn’t even been mentioned yet? I will give all of you until noon. – B.]
I highly approve of this.
Careful Basil, don’t be sending any coded messages! Remember how much trouble the Alaska governor got in for that, and a simple crosshairs map’s implications pale in comparison to this!
What are you babbling about Basil?
Ducks?
[Good clue! – B]
Dick Clark?? Isn’t he about 150 years old by now? He was an adult when i was a kid..
[Dick Clark is old??!? What??? Next you’ll be telling me that Nipsey Russell is dead! – B.]
Things that are flamable
Goose
Effigy
Time
I’m waiting for Jihad Jeopardy. I’ll take “Things that Obama Ignores” for 100 Basil
You’re really working hard at getting that long awaited visit from the Secret Service, aren’t you Basil?
lol, good one
Matches? As in the Match Game?
“Blundering Barack is such a blunderer that he once tried to use a teleprompter while ______________.”
(Gotta love a game show where the celebrities smoked and drank themselves into the bag during the show.)
Well played Basil. Well played.
After taxes and ObamaCare’s individual mandate, she’ll be lucky to walk away with enough cash to buy a sandwich.
Nipsey, take us out:
Those beaten reporters
Would have a conniption
If Barack pulled a Hosni
and walked, like an Egyptian!
Come back next week when we’ll have Vicki Lawrence and Jim J. Bullock!

I can’t believe no one has gone to Monty Python’s Holy Grail with the list of things that burn. Kids these days.
And now, here’s Johnny with your parting gift: that $25,000, adjusted to 2011 dollars, just put you into the 80% tax bracket.
Dang it! I should have know Monty Python was it! Stupid work getting in the way of my thought processes.
Basil…why do you think I said “duck”? lol
I honestly thought you were going in a different direction.
But does the witch weigh as much as the duck? We must use Science! to find out.
In regards to Basil’s Game Show, I take it there is a difference between American Protesting, and American Rioting. Because American Rioting is quite like Egyptian Protesting.
Most contestants on the $25,000 Pyramid weren’t that smart – Nipsey must have been sending her coded messages!
