I'd strongly suggest finding the culprit who's been logging in under your account.

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

Jeopardy! is like History. It's a mixed bag of categories that try to test your knowledge to see if you know or can recall answers that seem familiar to the viewer.

(OK, I haven't really been fired yet. But the snorty-laugh part is true.)

The show has hit a new normal for mediocrity, and I feel like I have forgotten when exactly it wasn't this way - just that it wasn't always this way.
Was referred back to this thread due to education of a new boardie on the hilarious board terms "rift trend" and "outchange" and I just noticed this post, and surprised no one has burned Austin Powers for being a witch yet. :)

No need to bring witchcraftery into it. The games had already been taped, and I'm sure it was just a good old-fashioned spoiler.

I'm just chuckling at the insinuation that someone who finished only two spots behind him in the 2015 LL championship could possibly be considered mediocre.

But whatever.
