8-8-8 for me this season with the last day deciding where I get a 9 in my record.

Does that make you the Learned League Anitchrist?

Once again, I need a win to finish exactly at .500 and my lifetime record is just three above .500. Just call me Mr. Mediocrity.

I wasn't sure if this belonged in this thread or Retaken Down. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/lo ... 61721.html

Note the egregious misspelling in the article title.

Is the glass half full or half empty? After finishing LL77 at exactly .500 (10-10-5), I finished the ML with a record of 4-4-3. Additionally, I finished LL76 just above water at 11-10-4. Another statistical oddity is that in the last two seasons and the ML combined I've had 12 ties after going a phe...

After my initial travails where my defense was sieve like and I was dead last, I rebounded to finish dead even, 10-10-5, and in seventh place in Laguna C. On the last day, my match was 8(5)-8(5). I thought that my opponent wouldn't know the full name of the ACA and my opponent thought that I wouldn'...

I said "eye liner" instead of mascara. No soap. I've occasionally had to wear mascara for stage makeup.

My opponent yesterday probably didn't think that I am regularly trying to be a Jeopardy contestant. I was assigned and received three points on the art question. Now art is one of my poorer categories but, as everyone here knows, Artist/Tahiti is Pavlovian for Gauguin. That gave me the win. Good fo...

But seriously, only 34% knew The Leatherstocking Tales? Both my opponent and I got this right and we each gave each other zero points. My opponent yesterday probably didn't think that I am regularly trying to be a Jeopardy contestant. I was assigned and received three points on the art question. No...

I thought of Buddha and Jack and Diane first on their questions. I talked myself out of Buddha because I thought the question sounded mythological and went with Vishnu, thinking of his avatars. And then I talked myself out of Jack and Diane because I thought that the song came out in the mid to lat...

I was hoping to continue my renaissance when I followed my six-pack with five correct, but I tied my opponent. We both gave three points to the Dowager Empress question and we both missed it. I'm only one point ahead of relegation again. :( On the positive side, the question did make me remember tha...

My love of science fiction and comic books made "cryogenics" a gimme.

I haven't posted here about this season because I was doing abysmally (dead last at one point and in the relegation zone until two days ago). However, I have been 4-1-1 since a 1-6-1 start and yesterday got my first six pack in at least two seasons. My opponent gave me two for portmanteau, which wou...

Is it just a problem on my end, or have today's matches not been sent out yet? Not that I should care being that I'm dead last in my rundle.

Actually, it probably was Alex Ovechkin that got Opus mad. . .

i do the same...i record jeopardy...i usually start watching it 11 minutes after it starts...that is the time where you can begin it and won't have to worry about being caught up to the live airing and can ffwd without that happening...i never watch the interviews...get rid of them and add another ...

Now that the Musical Eyestrain quiz deadline is passed, I can say that I'm proud that the smith (by coincidence) used my Telemachus question of several weeks ago from my Trivial Person of the Week contest on Facebook.

I only missed the $1200 clue. Anything before 1990 though is my wheelhouse.

I vote that Amazon is merchandise, not media.

I guess that since Brad Rutter lost to Watson that Robin (Robyn?) Geehan(?) is really the only undefeated Jeopardy player (except for the ToC winners I guess, except for Burns Cameron).

I haven't written anything lately out of superstition, but I just had a 4-0-1 streak end yesterday. Despite this, I am still only two points ahead of relegation in my C League rundle. I think that the secret to my recent success is that I've finally gotten the feel of playing defense again.

I was a bit upset with myself not remembering Turkey wasn't a country until after WWI, but was glad to get credit. I knew from a recent read of a Lawrence of Arabia bio that he was fighting Turks and also connected Gallipoli/Turkey/WWI. Was pretty sure Bulgaria was correct based on books about Russ...
