I don't know about other places (I'm not from there, how should I know), but in my neck of the woods when someone is 302d, it means something.

My sploofus question last night had a 3 percent get rate. I happened to get it right, but that's just mean.

I've seen some single digit ones before, but never that low.

...a woman had sent her friend with her red Subaru Impreza’s key to a neighborhood to pick up her car. In that same neighborhood lived Erin Hatzi (you know, like the National Socialist Headgear people) and Erin also happened to own a red Subaru Impreza.

A funny thing about many older Subarus – their keys are interchangeable far more often than you’d think.

Good stuff. The idea that J! contestants are 'minimally risk-averse' is...ahem...let's just say I'm skeptical :lol: (perhaps they're counting terrible FJ wagers as 'risk-taking'). But it was a study from 1995.

WTG. #5 for me having missed three this month. I would have needed to average 1610 x 3 to have matched the leader's total.

When Game 7 goes to the 10th inning and there is a rain delay it sure is nice to be on the West Coast as it's only 9 at night.

Yup. I'm betting Pete Rose will put me to sleep, unless Alex Rodriguez can medicate me awake.

The rain delay was almost long enough for me to watch J! on the DVR.

My DVR's recording of Game 7 ended immediately after the second pitch of the bottom of the eighth inning.

Can anybody tell me what happened after that?

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

I had to switch to the WS during the commercial breaks during Jeopardy! I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

I still haven't seen last night's J! episode. By the time the WS ended, it was way past bedtime in our parts.

After the Indians recorded their third strikeout in Game 7, some people in this country thought a Klan rally had broken out in the bleachers.
