Re: FJs for the 1/1/24 week
Felt lucky this week with with 4/5. Monday, I joined the Paris crowd. Tuesday: I live south of the sign in the OC, but still see it often enough that it is a bit mundane. Never heard of the incident, but a landmark with letters in Los Angeles doesn't leave many options, and the ability to change a b...

I need the option: I got to Harry’s first child, but didn’t know the name.

Re: Thursday, June 29, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but this FJ was driving me crazy. It's been a while since I've seen the movie and I didn't recall that scene. Thank you for finding it. Still think it's a terrible clue, but at least now I understand it.

Re: Thursday, November 3, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
After rejecting Nirvana, I came up with the right answer, but with little confidence. If I had thought of Xanadu, I might have switched. Still, my first correct FJ response this week, so the box of shame is avoided. It's a shame to see rowan go, but they certainly showed that a 2nd chance tourney wi...

Re: Monday, October 31, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Put me down for another Battle Creek - with a 95% confidence of being wrong.
The correct response seems obvious in hindsight, but it never came to me. Had no idea that was the name of a waterway, although I’ve heard of it many times.

Re: Second-chance tourney coming
I like the idea of a second chance tourney. The number of super champs lately means a few people who may have won a game or two got cut down. But I’m not fond of giving this tourney two spots. One is enough. Cut it down to 15 and run the standard 2 week tournament. Or invite the same 18 to return. T...

Re: FJs for the 9/25 - 10/16/22 Celebrity Jeopardy! games
These must be easier clues because I’ve never gotten a perfect score until now. Sorta kinda watch SNL weekly. I read the cast names out loud every week to learn them as possible J! material. So I knew Ego immediately. Haven’t watched any shows, so only had the names to go by. Might have recognized a...

Put me down for another Edmund Fitzgerald. Things I knew about it: Named after a man. Sank in the Great Lakes. Memorialized in song. Things I didn't know about it, but do now: Sank in 1975. Located just days after sinking. Man it was named after was still alive and well at the time of sinking. Every...

Re: How Do You Watch Jeopardy!?
I said as a question, but I'm not always that way. Probably 1/3 of the time it's just the answer. But I have taken on the Amodio "what's" phrasing. When I'm going all out, I gotta beat the contestants on screen, and that's quicker. And yes, it's usually out loud. For final it's all spoken,...

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for Thursday, May 26, 2022
$5200 going into FJ. That forces Ryan to wager something. And with just barely over half of his total, going all in is reasonable. Then, due to a slightly lucky guess, I got FJ for the win. I'm trying to work on bodies of water, and can never keep the two sides of Italy straight (other than the gene...

Re: FJs for the 3/21/22 week
Monday: Watched the birthday concert with TB and Lady Gaga. Some really good music. Also saw a longer news report (maybe 60 Minutes?) that talked about TB's Alzheimer's diagnosis and how he can still sing even when he can't remember lots of other things. Didn't think there were any other 95 year old...

Re: FJs for the 3/14/22 week
Flipped a coin between tornado and hurricane, and the coin got it right this time. It's usually wrong. Never watched Dazed & Confused. Have no idea what part Matthew may have played in it's making. But if you've got McConaughey and words said on camera, there's only one thing to guess. Friday wa...

Re: Opus Memorial Fourth Podium Poll - Wed, March 9
Cleaning up in the Apollo program, plus a couple of other right answers puts me $200 ahead of the champ going into FJ. I crash and burn there, leaving me with nothing but a handshake on my way out the door.

Re: Opus Memorial Fourth Podium Poll #2 - Friday, March 11
Did you win from the Fourth Podium? Technically yes. Had a mere 4400 on 3 correct responses going into the World Capitals DD. That subject is a weak spot, so I doubt I would have wagered much. But since I don’t have a buzzer at the 4th podium, you’ve got to risk it. In the real world, I would have ...

Re: Wednesday, February 9, 2022 FJ Poll (SPOILERS)
Don’t get me wrong. LA has a nice zoo. Been there a few times. But SD is a world class zoo with two locations, both inside the surprisingly large city limits. Well worth a visit to both locations if you ever get the chance. Looks like the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is in Escondido now. I assume it h...

Re: Wednesday, February 9, 2022 FJ Poll (SPOILERS)
Not familiar with the video, so had to suss it out from the clue alone. Never considered any kind of tree. Visiting a city to see trees didn’t make sense to me. Likewise, swim trunks aren’t something that strikes me as worthy of multiple “reallys”. Ordinary long pants are longer than any swim trunks...
