Now if your first name was Dolores ...
Ooh, sorry. We were looking for Gipple.

Just a reminder since there is an influx of new people -- if you'd like a "rank" under your avatar (custom or otherwise), just post here or PM me. But don't ask for J! Champion until a few days after your (last) win if that's the one you want!

As much as I'd like J! Champ (once valid, as per the rules above), I think I'll request "Queen Elizabeth's Phrenologist"

I'm not sure what happened to my old account, but I've come up with a better rank anyway:

Jeopardy Almost-Champ

Ha! But in that case, shouldn't yours be "Thinks Outside the Box"? Or would you prefer "The Jazz Singer on the Western Front?" No? Ok, final offer: "F-150ed up on Jeopardy!" :P

By the way, I just noticed that your first game aired on my wife's birthday and your final game aired on mine. I'm not sure why that tickles me, but it does.

Rests in Gomorrah?

Oooh, you had to bring up the Jazz Singer. One day I will keep straight in my head that Jazz Singer is the first talkie and Wings won the first Best Picture Oscar. One day.

Lots of September birthdays! Mine was the day after my second show aired.

Thanks, alietr, I was thinking about it, but never got around to it.

How's "Moderator, Archivist, and servant to the J! community"?

Why thank you, real-life me also looks younger as well. (Got around to it earlier today because the TV the Wii is hooked up to is on its last legs, so I figured I don't have much time left to take a new picture. (I also only edited the picture from the podium up, so it may look a little weird, especially since the colour is going on it now)

I'm also wondering, are you allowed to change your rank? I assume that when I get on the show ill be allowed to (and I will), but other than that, what are the rules?

Dear Andy....

If I may, could my rank be changed to:

Jeopardy! champion... it's a mystery!

thanks,
