Re: Reretaken Down

A stunning TIL (today I learned) as I was listening to '80s music on one of my TV's music channels while doing computer work. "Sweetheart" came on and I was able to quickly recall the song I first heard over 40 years ago as it begins. I mentally told myself it's by Frankie and the Knockou...

A particularly pointless article from Vulture, but at least it's short.

Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

On "Crossword Clues 'R'" for $200, would my response of "what is a ruckus?" be an acceptable alternate? According to m-w, racket refers specifically to a loud noise, while ruckus is a noisy fight, not just the noise itself. You might get credit, but there is an argument against.

Re: Thursday, March 14, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

At first I didn't like this FJ because it didn't specify Northern/Southern or Eastern/Western. Joke's on me, it works either way, I think.

I still missed it. I guessed wrong on where Kofi Annan was from.

Just another Yogesh smile-inducer. Well, it made me smile, anyway.
Likewise. The whole exchange was good comedy.

Re: Final Jeopardy! Clues

This question was cribbed from Ray Hamel's "Films of the '30s" Wikiquiz, so go play that first if you planned to, and then come back here. kthxbye. HISTORY ON FILM Set in the 1860s, "The Prisoner of Shark Island" is a 1936 film starring Warner Baxter as this real-life doctor Who ...

Re: 2024 Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament

I would argue that Brandon and Victoria are not being (primarily) invited for trivia accomplishments outside of Jeopardy. They're being invited for Network synergy, and the possibility of some Jeopardy/Chase crossover appeal in prime-time. Every other Chaser is either already in, ineligible, or Brit...

Re: LL 100

I feel bad for my opponent yesterday. There were 2 TV questions, and that happens to be my best category. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for him, he dropped the 0 on the one I didn't know. I mean, Fargo had a season set in Sioux Falls, which is right there in my bio, why wouldn't he? All those...

Re: Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions alternates - who were they

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Frank Epstein might be on the Frazee tape that's currently stuck in my VCR. It's 1991 or '92 I'm pretty sure. I'm still hunting for a new VCR, but they're rarer and more expensive than they were 10 years ago. I found a VCR and he wasn't on that tape. Anyway, my real r...
