Bidding Ado

Back in this post in December of '08, we gave you the lowdown on what happened one odd day on The Price is Right when a contestant named Terry made a seemingly-impossible perfect bid. Before you go any further, you might want to go review that post and watch the video clip there of that moment.

Now then: Chris Jones, who authored that great profile of Roger Ebert for Esquire, is back with a piece on Terry the Perfect-Bidder. As we noted, there was more to it than seemed apparent at the time. Thanks to Peter Gawdunyk who sent me the link.
