I spent some time in the booth this morning, recording some pickups on an audiobook I still can’t believe I was chosen to narrate. I believe it will come out […]
The one time in years I deliberately point people to my blog for ONE PURPOSE, I discovered that WordPress hid the thing I wanted them to see. Neat.
I noticed something about the way I read books, yesterday. When I start a book, it's like I'm sitting in an empty space, completely surrounded by the fog of war. Over some number of pages, that fog is pushed back and the world in the book begins to populate the formerly-empty space. Eventually, that space is on the other side of a portal that I step through as effortlessly as I open the cover of the book. I guess I've been doing this my whole life, but I didn't actually notice and note it until yesterday.
Originally written in 2021, The Ghosts of Christmas Past is a tapestry woven from painful and joyful memories that all decided to surround me that December. I've added to it once, in 2023, and I added to it again this year.

But what the answer???
Yeah! What’s the answer!?
It was “naggers”.
lol
And the award for the most obscure tv reference goes to:
is it black sack??
Can’t be – the “c” in the word “black” would already be revealed.
cluck duck?
truck fuck?
quick pick?
flick lick?
The first word can’t have a “c” in it, or it would have already been revealed with the “c” in the 2nd word.
It was “Snack Pack”. :/
How’s that possible as there’s no C before the first K? Or has Wheel changed their rules and you have to guess each individual instance of a letter now?
It must have been a Toss-Up.
It can’t be black sack or snack pack because there is no ‘c’ in the first word…
If it was a toss-up puzzle, which someone else indicated it was, the letters all appear one at a time until someone buzzes in and guesses it.
Inquiring minds want to know darn it!
It was snack pack, it was one of the toss up puzzles, where the letters come in randomly, so different instances of the same letter come in at different times. (Google is a valuable resource, by the way)
Snack Pack?
What!
No Ducks?
There should be a duck
Well the only answer I have for the 1st word is think. So many words end in ck. I’m not really familiar with the show being a Brit.
It’s kind of like Hangman, only with a wheel to spin for prizes for guessing letters correctly, plus the option to go bankrupt and lose everything.
Might have been “thick” – but then the show would have to censor the 2nd word . . . grin
“Crock cock.”
You know… for spreading vegemite.
“That’s not a knife!”
No.
No, it’s not.
Toss up puzzles? Dear Goddess it’s been a long time since I have watched Wheel and I am glad for it with that type of ridiculous puzzle.
Slick Rick?
Caulk Sock (dialect-dependent)
You really are still 12.
What’s the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One’s a sick duck and I can’t remember how it ends, but your mother’s a whore.
I was thinking ‘Thick Dick’ but yeah there’s lots of opportunities here.
Stalk Pick? Chalk Duck? Shark Lock?
i KNOW I’M WRONG BUT IT’S BLOCK-COCK
WIL WHEATON dead eyes
I’m dancing with dead eyes
I change by not changing at all. Perhaps no one wants to see
?
Those are lyrics to a song…. sorry if they’re too bizarre.
Ohhhhh ok
LOL I know what I saw/ thought it was in that split second. And can I say loving the new style on the show with the rolled up sleeves, I can’t stop looking at that bad ass tattoo on your arm, it kind of surprised me!
It could have been “Chuck ..ck”…
Am I crazy or does she look like Anne Wheaton, too?
OMG! i read all the comments to find the answer, but NO! You guys are all still 12!
I’m more interested in what W.W. thought it was going to be. The 2nd word could be one of 3 (or even 4) different naughties. No clue on the first word.
Let’s just say one of Mr. Wheaton’s common expressions has to do with a type of “blocking”.
The answer is obviously Shark Dick.
Many of us are still 12. It’s cool. We like us like that. This one made me snicker again this morning when I looked at it, even knowing the answer.
As an aside to the aside, when will you know if you get to do more episodes of the Wil Wheaton Project?
Ah but see, my mind automatically went to one of the best cards in Cards Against Humanity!
I am surprised no one guessed “Shock Jock” – the format for a “Toss up puzzle” is new to me.
