What is Jordache?
Yes, it's awkward phrasing, but it's for the TOM. I omitted the last name because I thought it might be an instant association.
Maybe a little soon after that TS clue in the 1/15/1990 replay, but figured I'd put it in for posterity.

I just learned that recently. I knew the "Andrew Johnson = only post-presidential senator" factlet, but I read his Wikipedia entry and was surprised to learn he only served a few months.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 6:27 pmJust to mess with you, Andrew Johnson died in office in 1875.jlgarfield wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 4:30 pm From the archives.....

Re: Final Jeopardy! Clues
Thank you! The archive's search feature doesn't turn it up. Google doesn't find it for me either. Everybody else do me a favor and Google "He was the first Democrat to die in office" complete with quotation marks. When I do that, I get ONE hit. I just fired up Tor and ran the same search from a Netherlands IP. Still only gives me this thread. DuckDuckGo doesn't even give me that much. Does Google not crawl that collectedfinals page for some reason?Volante wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 6:56 pmhttp://j-archive.com/collectedfinals.phpopusthepenguin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 5:06 pm And BTW jlgarfield, what "archives" is that clue from?
