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...

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.

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.

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...
