The Hidden "Facts" Game

['80sSitcoms]

Can you find some "Facts" character names hidden in these sentences?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's your favorite color?" asked Nan. "Cyan", she replied.

The deceitful school marm ol' Lyin' Lottie was in town again.

She's studying niacin, dying to know if it's on the test.

He gave a toot, i.e., a blow, on the horn.

"Look, there's a gnat!" "A lie, that's a lie!"

"Where's Susan at?" "A lie detector test appointment."

"Is she dehydrated?" "Nah, she'll be fine."

Yup!

Okay, so it's not the most challenging of games, but I was very bored and I remembered seeing that somewhere so I thought I'd try "Facts"-ing it, haha.

(Oh and oops, I meant to delete one of the old Natalie after I created the 2nd one, lol)

Actually, a couple of them were challenging! I had the hardest time finding "Edna" because I was looking for something that had "mrsg" in it.

(Oh and oops, I meant to delete one of the old Natalie after I created the 2nd one, lol)

I actually liked that! I was not expecting a second "Natalie", and was looking for "Blair" or "Jo" or "Sue Ann" or "Alexandra" instead. I thought, "Oh, he's being sneaky!"

Oh, good! lol :-) Yeah, I guess one wouldn't expect "Edna" up front.

Oh, then good, lol...and no fear, I don't think you will ever see that pineapple goof-up in game except a scathing poem, haha.

[RetroGuy2000]

Pineapple goof-up?

['80sSitcoms]

Yeah, remember how she messed up an order in the (I think) season 4 graduation episode and got all those dozens of pineapples instead of apples? (I think that was it; I know it was pineapples, anyway) And Mrs. Garrett got SO frustrated with her? lol

And Omg I love your "enhanced" version of my avatar! (although it's a bit jarring when scrolling down a thread and seeing these nearly-twin avatars over and over, lol) You should do a mock-up of Mrs. G. and the 4 Lost girls over the faces of the 4 "Kept" Girls, lol

Oh, right! I'd forgotten.

Great minds think alike! I was already working on one. What do you think?

You are SO lucky! I don't have that ability to easily put things I loathe out of my mind, so I'm stuck remembering her stupid pineapple goof-up, lol.

Hahahaha! That is awesome! And you were already on that track? Wow, lol...now to just wipe out that dull world news headline and put something much more enticing, like, "Mrs. Garrett and her other 4 girls - find out what Eastland's like in an alternate universe!" lol

And---that is the EXACT placement I thought for each of the girls! Wow, what a wavelength we're on today! lol

Brilliant mock-up!!

Yes, I was already working on it when you wrote your suggestion!

It's hard to tell in the thumbnail, but it actually says "New 'Facts' Spin-Off! Eastland Academy' by Harrison E. Salisbury, p. 7". Mr. Salisbury may have been a little upset that his story on the Soviet Union got cut, but his scoop on the Facts of Life spin-off is much more germain to TV Guide anyway!

Well, Tootie's bowl cut needed to be covered up by a similar haircut, so Molly slid right into that place. Sue Ann and Blair having the same hair color decided that spot, as did Nancy and Jo's hair color. That just left Cindy to take Nat's place.

Hahaha, that's great! I just wish I could see a larger version!

Now THAT is a collectible TV Guide!! You'd see it for hundreds on eBay! (haha)
