hat putato
A troll post that began on the newsgroup alt.tv.game-shows in 1998, was later posted in many forms, and spread throughout usenet groups such as alt.pro-wrestling.wwf, rec.sport.pro-wrestling, rec.arts.tv, alt.fan.billie-joel, and many others. It's a lame attempt to make fun of NBC's short-lived Jack Barry and Dan Enright produced "Hot Potato" hosted by the late Bill Cullen.
