Re: Tuesday, March 12, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I'll be checking the "I've never seen [the correct response]" box but I got this one from little more than the single throwaway joke in Anyone Can Whistle (and the handful of references on J! over the years). Was it Kevin Marshall who used to say everything you needed to know for J! you c...

Re: Monday, February 19, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Why so many personal messages during final lately? I thought that was discouraged or actually forbidden at some point.

Sad that I will never get to bond with Alex over our mutual love of musk oxen.

Re: FJs for the 6/12/23 week

No box to check for "I watched an episode of original series Star trek immediately before watching the Wednesday Jeopardy episode but still didn't get Chekov"? At least he wasn't in the episode I saw. I had such a crush on him when I was a kid. And Anton Yelchin was absolutley adorable too.

Re: Masters Wednesday, May 24, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I was disappointed when Ken said all three finalists would be back for next year's Masters. Nothing against the final three, but with such a small group of players, now half the field is already set.

Surprised they left in James's "keep it in your pants" comment. That's definitely too racey for the syndicated show!

Re: Friday, March 17, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

This episode was nice. though I thought lp was for Long play after taking a detour to laser disks but not pizza even though I heard of the movie. ('songs from movies' 2000) LP is for "long-playing" record. The clue did not imply that LP stands for "licorice pizza", although that...

Dave Durenberger, former Republican senator from Minnesota, aged 88. In more recent years, he left the Republican party and endorsed Democratic candidates.

My first thought was St Peter Ad Vincula but I figured although it was more correct the landmarks category was pointing to the more general Tower of London answer. It could have been my liberty enlightening the world moment.

Re: Jeopardy Masters Tournament announced

I can't get enthusiastic about this. They're pushing into overexposure territory. yeah, I'll watch, but I'm not excited. Didn't I just see this tournament? This kind of feels like an attempt to "even up" the hosts. Ken hosted the big guns for a tournament, now Mayim needs to host the big ...

This must be a tournament where you play against your old high school bullies and beat them handily while silently noting how they have gone to seed.

For the unfortunate TS in Brit Bits, would “Trooping of the Color s ” have been ruled against? To my knowledge there is no "of" in Trooping the Color. ...... Indeed. Spouse and I said exactly that as Ken gave the response. And it's very definitely Colour, singular - the red colour of the ...
