religious freedom + oldest synagogue = Roger Williams → Rhode Island The Washington letter was a factor.
I didn't know Williams had a Baptist connection. (According to Wikipedia, he helped to found the church, but never fully affiliated with the Baptists.)

For me, it was just oldest synagogue -> Rhode Island. The rest added nothing for me.

For me it came down to Georgia and Rhode Island and Georgia was far and away the last colony established...so I wrote Providence of course.

I just realized that if Alex was still hosting, he would've teased Matt for counting on his fingers. I didn't love that side of Alex.
My lucky numbers are 6, 66, and 666.

This, This, This... I just now learned what an on screen scoreboard is called - a scorebug. I've been calling it a chyron.

I had no problem choosing Rhode Island. I don't know how you "found" a colony, but I know this one was done for religious reasons. For some reason, I learned in school that Roger Williams walked all the way around Rhode Island and this is how it was defined. I find nothing about that now, so some textbooks need an attitude adjustment. Maybe they can un-teach the idea of the noble Confederate cause for states rights while they are at it.

Chyron is a brand name of a company that makes hardware to do on screen graphics. It's just treated as a generic, like Kleenex or Photoshop.trainman wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 11:06 pmChyron is a generic term for any digitally-generated on-screen graphic (it comes from a brand name) -- all scorebugs are chyrons, but not all chyrons are scorebugs.twelvefootboy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 14, 2021 10:31 pm This, This, This...

"Lower third" is the real generic term.
And not to be confused with the Bugatti Chiron, a car you need to sell ad space on the lower third (and middle and upper thirds) to afford.

Isn't it more correct to say a scorebug is generated by a Chyron? That's how I would describe it.

Some clear editing on Richards' opening comments. Was anyone else surprised that the Johnny Gilbert intro wasn't retconned into introducing him as the "guest host" after the firing?

No. For those five programs, that one day, Mike Richards was contractually, legally, officially and appropriately the "host" of Jeopardy!. He was a disgraced host, and a short-term host, but there is no proper way to characterize those five appearances as "guest" appearances. Jeopardy! did the right thing by leaving the "host" references intact, while scrubbing the now-inappropriate "Look at me, I'm the humbled new host" talk in which Richards engaged.Picked Off wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 8:33 am Was anyone else surprised that the Johnny Gilbert intro wasn't retconned into introducing him as the "guest host" after the firing?

If you look up the dictionary definition of "chyron", the genericized term refers to the caption itself, rather than the generating system (which could be a Chyron or, these days, is one of any number of different systems).

I thought I read that Georgia was specifically founded as a Debtors' colony. Religious freedom was a nice bonus, but wasn't founded specifically for it unlike Rhode Island.

Take your pick. The other theory is that Verrazzano sailed by an island that he likened to Rhodes, and later colonists assumed the area he had written about was Rhode Island (which is what I had always heard).DBear wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 2:47 pmI thought I read that Georgia was specifically founded as a Debtors' colony.
