I will go on record as saying that OntarioQuizzer is probably the most deserving of the ATBs through all he's done for the community through thejeopardyfan.com, even more than I.

Hey DHK -

Really cool poem! I hope that the dream of you and others here to get "The Call" will soon come true.

Meanwhile:

Happy Holidays (Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukhah - or whatever one may celebrate) and Happy New Year coming up to all!

The lifeguard blew his whistle and ordered me out of the pool this month. Hoping for a good score on the next test.

Thanks to all who make this a great place to hang out and for putting up with me. Merry Christmas to all and hoping to see more boardies on the show in 2017.

Happy holidays and New year. Thanks for the regular contributors. Special shout-out to Opus.

Is this the year I get to lose on J!?

I love this poem. Its a great reminder of the anxiety, highs and lows that I felt through the audition and show process.

Holiday bump. May Maggie Claus leave The Call under your tree this year and may all your Daily Doubles be True.

Not because I’m hardly on here but rather because neither Alex nor Maggie are with the show any more this will be the last year for my Christmas Eve tradition of sharing this poem. I hope you enjoy it and continued best of luck in the new year!

No need to stop bumping it just because Alex is gone. It is still a lovely piece and a nice way to remember him. Weird Al’s song isn’t diminished by mentioning a host and announcer who are long gone.

Merry Christmas to all on here.
