Re: "Originally from..." - how does that work?
When you're going over your information and your stories in the green room, they'll go over the pronunciation of your name and where you're from. That's the point where I said, "Actually, can I be 'originally from Ann Arbor' rather 'from than Iowa City'?" They had no problem with it. "from than" is...

Re: Friday, November 20, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
(I guess I'm the only one who gets Jeopardy! at 4pm, so I'll just keep talking to myself.) This also means that of the top five players ever, by regular-game win streak, none has won a tournament of champions. I would move to Minnesota just for that. I can see why you left the Bay Area, it's not th...

Re: Does this mean I can be one of the cool kids now?
As a Coldplay fan, good song choice with the video.
Looks like you had a fun time. Can't wait to see the show!

Re: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Four presidents ago I would call recent, especially for those of adult J! age. People of your age would consider "recent" differently. ;) Perhaps. Especially when you look at the fact that only about 200 out of something like 1400 (for a middle school! outrageous, right?) know who the current presi...

Re: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
That $600 clue in VETERANS was way overvalued. Not only does it ask us to name the president in 1982, but it *pictures* him? A popular recent president? The $1000 clue was "Got your 6", obvious on retrospect of course given the charitable organization, but would "Got your 6 o'clock" work? I didn't ...

Re: Things you miss about Jeopardy!
I'm actually mostly comfortable with J! as it's been in the past few years. I watch 80s or 90s episodes online, and I'm often struck with how cold and stern AT feels at times. I think Johnny's "This! Is! Sparta! Jeopardy!" generally has more emphasis now than it did in the old days. The boop-boop-b...

Probably the best DJ! I've ever seen, right near some of the Decades games. Brennan pulled it out quite nicely.

I'm inclined to believe that NatGeo will start publishing anti-climate change propaganda sometime soon.

Re: Reretaken Down
Bush's campaign manager just resigned, and he's been telling donors that it's "not on life support". Having studied politics while elementary school passed by, it's pretty easy to say that when a Bush family member politician says something you know not to believe it. Fixed that for ya.
