Who Is Some Guy?...

I've put it off long enough.  

I registered for the online test today.

I'm just hoping there aren't a lot of

questions from the following categories:

Ballet

Opera

Latin

Anything Shakespeare

Proper Etiquette

Toilet Cleanliness (Megan's suggestion)

Walking Normally (also Megan's)

Icelandic Politics

Shit Your Mechanic Tells You Needs To Be Fixed

Tea Party Logic

To see the categories I'm hoping for,

I'll Take "Tea Party Douchebags" For $200, Alex...

You get one guess...

Last Night's Celebrity Jeopardy Was Harder Than Usual...

More Jeopardy Shit...

One constant for me is Jeopardy! at 7:30 P.M. every weekday. I try not to miss it.

My strong categories include:

• Pop Culture - Movies, TV, Music, etc.
• Sports
• Geography
• Potent Potables
• Some History and Science
  
• Politics/Current Events
• I usually do well with gimmick categories, like when they put certain letters in parentheses or crossword puzzle-type clues, stuff like that.

My weaknesses are in things like:

• Literature, especially Shakespeare
  
• Opera
• Ballet
• Gardening
• Mythology/Astronomy
• Latin

Tonight's show was pretty good. I got the Final Jeopardy wrong, but I did good in a category about Grammy-winning comedians. I was pissed to miss a toilet-related question. I've edited the show down to just the clues I tried to answer. There were a whole bunch of clues where I had no idea.

That Was The Best Jeopardy Championship Series I Have Ever Seen...

The level of play was phenomenal. Congratulations to Dan Pawson. I posted about Larissa Kelly the first time she was on. Alex seemed a little better behaved this time.

Alex Trebek Has A Major Boner For One Of His Contestants...

This post is specifically for readers who regularly watch "Jeopardy".

Has anyone else noticed how different Alex Trebek acts towards current phenom Larissa Kelly,

who has won close to $180,000 and is in fourth place for most winnings ever in non-tournament play? (As I write this, she is heading into "Final Jeopardy" with a slim lead and a question about 1950's Films.) Anyone who watches "Jeopardy" knows Alex can be a bit of a wanker, but when he is around Larissa he's a whole different person. He says little complimentary things to her when she gets questions right and seems to be flirting with her in a very subtle way. I think he's got a little crush. I must say, she does have a certain appeal. Megan and I have been rooting for her. She's very soft-spoken (She just won! It was a question about the movie "High Noon". Her new winnings total is something like $222,000!) and has a librarian-esque quality, but she's very aggressive in her "Double Jeopardy" wagers. She bets big, even if she has a big lead. This blog has some video of her if you're interested.
