The Wheel forum is buyavowel(dot)boards(dot)net.

If the contestant you know hasn't aired yet, retro good luck to her.

Thanks! She was actually on tonight. Genuinely nice student. Talked with her once a year or so ago, but my colleagues speak highly of her as well.

I noticed it as I watched. Only saw the promo of it before seeing the post and asking the question.

A Florida woman has sued Kraft Heinz, which owns Velveeta, alleging that the company misled customers regarding the amount of time it takes to prepare a single-serving cup of macaroni and cheese.

..."the statement of 'ready in 3 1/2 minutes' [which is found on the product packaging] is false and misleading because the Product takes longer than 3-and-a-half minutes to prepare for consumption."

Ramirez claims the extra steps for which the packaging calls increase the total preparation time (though she didn't indicate by how much) to the point that she wouldn't have purchased the product had she known otherwise. These include removing the pouch of cheese powder, stirring in water and allowing the cheese sauce to thicken.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

I didn't see this in the current events thread so I'm posting it here since it is no longer current but still pretty cool.

If you are making a list of countries that border only one other country, it is now two countries shorter.

Anybody try it?
I got 4850 my first try.

It's got a weird disembodied eyes character as the host and then some weird video game music and a space theme that doesn't seem to fit with trivia. The questions were ok. Not terrible not great. It was pretty quick. Learned something out of it so that's cool.
It took me 17 games to finally get past that 6000 (and thankfully final) level of achievement as I feared needing to get even higher scores than my 6250. My Fire TV controller is a lot better for it than my Comcast one.

I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

I bought a sweater on the Jeopardy! store and it doesn't have any label for washing or drying instructions.

If you make the show you can wear the sweater every episode without washing and the press will think you’re colorful.

I'm willing to wear and promote Jeopardy! apparel if I get on the show. Just throwing that out there.

From the product page:

Care instructions: Wash inside out on the wool cycle. Re-shape the sweater while damp and air dry. Turn inside out before ironing on low heat.

(You can still sue. I smell a class action!!)

Has somebody checked on Mark after that Vikings game? He's usually posted the weekly FJ poll by now. ;)

Got the poll in a hair early because I felt like the board was overdue to go down for a bit.

The Vikings game off to such a bad start allowed me to bail on 100% attention and instead archive the Lionel game. I saw almost all of the Vikings scoring. The 4th Q and OT was really something. Of course, that meant the Bal/Cle game (outdoor weather) was going to be low-scoring.

Is he a Colts fan? I would have figured 49ers...
