Re: What do you want to see from the vault?
I was surprised to find that 2003 episodes are still missing from the archive. It was the first two days of the Iraq War where most networks were showing the same things over and over again instead of regular programming. I'm surprised they haven't been rerun on GSN. Of possible interest is that we...

Re: Non-Jeopardy! related poll
One more thought on this... One of my goals for my J! appearance was to pronounce everything correctly. People thanked me for saying things like wunderkind and Newfoundland correctly. And if there had been a clue that ended with "...had another one of these coming", and my opponent rang in and said ...

It was much more recently than this for me. And I am willing to say that "thing" is incorrect.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 7:08 pmIt was over 20 years ago when I first discovered that the majority of people were saying "thing" even though the original phrase uses "think".

I think you meant "retired because of the disease". Your statement implies that you think he just died in the middle of the season.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 8:49 pmhow it came to be named for him, or the fact that he retired at all, were both new to me.

Re: Learned League 84
I was surprised so many people (47%) got Crossroads . I'd never even heard of that movie and I was actually watching movies in the mid-80s! :D I suppose there's the Robert Johnson angle, too, but blues history doesn't seem like something a lot of people would know. Thought for sure "derby" would be...

Re: Besides Ken, Brad, and James, what other contestants could be considered GOAT?
Brian Weikle lost his TOC final due to a miscalculated final wager and fell dramatically to the excellent, brave, but also lucky Grace Veach in the UTOC. He's the anti-Rutter, with similar crushing fundamentals, but all the bad luck instead of Brad's good luck. Thanks for the mention. Interesting y...

Re: The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)
Probably poking the bear, but I saw this clue from May 2017 come up: It's the square root of x^2 - 6x + 9 Okay, x^2 and 9 clearly have square roots. But what do I do with the 6x? That doesn't have a square root. All I remember is randomly pulling a 3 out of your butt, and somehow breaking this prob...

Also, I might do polls for MJ and/or Prince songs. I think you'll find that, in this case, your experience is just not mainstream. Nearly everyone on this board can name most of the Prince songs and will recognize all of the 70's Michael Jackson songs that were mentioned upthread. All of us have un...

Re: Wednesday, April 17, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
The All-Star tournament only had players who made their debuts in 2000 or later. So yes, another supertournament is in order. It could have a variety of other 2000's and 2010's top players (including superchamps) who weren't picked for All-Stars, plus the greats from the 80's and 90's. Coelacanth h...

Yeah, James vs. the big shots needs to happen quicker than five years from now or so. First, James will have to navigate being the BMOC for the TOC. Of course that means being defeated before November. Prior Presidents' Trophy winners with TOC finish: Brian Weikle - 2nd Tom Walsh - 2nd David Madden...

the capitals of the two states where it flows internally (St. Paul and Baton Rouge) both sit on the river’s eastern banks; St. Paul is on BOTH sides of the river.

Re: LL BWA Entries
I've heard of High Street, but it wasn't going to come to me. I almost made a BWA attempt with "Mornington Crescent," but I thought I had a nonzero chance of a random guess being right, and that the reference was too obscure (at least in America). It would never have occurred to me that there could...
