Yes the popular The Price
Is Right game. I took some screen grabs, printed everything out to scale,
and tacked it all together using foam core, clear plastic, dowels and a
hot-glue gun. For the PLINKO discs I used poker chips.
“This is going to be awesome!!!” I said to myself in the
mirror, as I’m apt to do when awesome things are nigh.
And on the big night, things were awesome for about 15
minutes. That was until I ran into another PLINKO. That’s right: two PLINKOs at
the same party. What are the odds? It’s not like someone had died on the PLINKO
board. Or there was a PLINKO movie coming out*. Or Drew Carey was retiring the
game forever. No, it was just the most random coincidence of our generation or
possibly of all time. And that’s why this costume was the most awesome of the
awesome.
