Friday, November 21, 2014 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]

[mbclev]

Of course, the names David Siegel, Molly Rosenbusch, Emily Chang, Diana North et al. still come into my mind, and possibly a lot of other Clevelanders' minds

Go out to a Cleveland mall and take a poll of random people, and see how many people actually recognize any of those names.

Edit: Wait, who the heck is Emily Chang?! Not a Jeopardy contestant, that's for sure.

She's the Kids Week contestant that misspelled her FJ response of Benjamin Franklin in 2005, thus costing her the game. (Her last name might be Zhang; I'm not fully sure, but you know what I mean.) That whole Kids Week in 2005 was an abomination, with one player finishing DJ at -$5000. Emily might still be hearing it from her inner circle of friends and acquaintances to this day.

I don't get why you're so bent on holding grudges against game show contestants that have no relation to you. Also, "hearing it from her inner circle of friends and acquaintances to this day." Like come on. If your perception of everyone is really that harsh and begrudging, you've clearly not seeked the professional help that you've so claimed. As far as people still holding onto petty situations like losing on a game show, the only one who seems to be taking it to heart is you. I've been watching Jeopardy! since 2004 (thanks, KJ), and I've seen many reruns of older tournaments, and I definitely don't recognize half of the names you've listed. I've lurked on here for a while, and I've seen a lot of your posts, and while there's so much more I could say about you or even suggest for you, you're stubbornness will continue to prevail and nothing's going to change. In the end, you're just another bitter person on the Internet. Please quit ruining this game for other people, none of us are asking for it.

It's been a banner week for this board attracting more weirdos than usual.

Or to species that don't have buttocks. Can that particular orifice still be called an asshole then?

Or what about species that have cloacas?

[FireAntsDefense]

multiple well-meaning posters urge you to get professional help.

It can even be by her.

I wonder if her desk is an old table from "$25,000 Pyramid".

[grindcore]

Ben! What a player. 100% deserved.

Global "web"? Eesh. Thought that was a gimme.

I got "Dear John" too for my only lach trash of the finals.

Back to the plebs on Monday, should be nice.

No, these other people I have mentioned et al. are taking it to heart as well, because their mistakes were so egregious. (I wouldn't be surprised if thoughts about their mistakes pervade their minds from time to time. If I made such a mistake, I would be bitter about it for years.) And you're right; nothing is going to change, because that's the way I feel about it, and NO ONE is going to change my opinion of it. Your collective credibility took a hit with me when you went crazy at me for my pointing out the "man with a wooden leg" J! clue from 2003 as a sick joke (which it is). I do not ruin it for other people; I'm just stating the facts, and if you can't handle it, then there is something wrong with all of you.

How can you talk credibility when you quote completely out of context? If you had said "Take a picture [...] with a wooden leg", you might still have some credibility. But I doubt it.

Something can't "pervade" from time to time.

It is NOT out of context! It is still a sick joke regardless of how it is said.

He may be a weirdo, but he's our weirdo?

TPH you're my Hero man! Well, maybe Lysander... keep on truckin' bro!

Versus the Mr. Happy-go-lucky we know now? Wow!
