Well, I'm back on Jeopardy! again, this time the playoffs.

[IntravenousDemilo]

The Tournament of Champions starts on Monday, and my QF game is on Friday the 9th.

Three things I noticed about pretty well all the Jeopardists I met in December, January, and October, is that they're very nice people, very creative in a number of different areas, and they tend to have moderately left-of-centre political ideologies. I'm pretty sure there's a connection between intelligence and liberal thought.

[BarenakedLady]

1. Excellent!

I look forward to watching you again.

:woohoo:

[Richardo]

2. No doubt. Good luck Intravenous!!

I'll fire up the steam-powered VCR for the ninth :bounce:

Break a leg. Or break Alex's leg. Be sure to post the scheduled air times as soon as you know. I've enjoyed watching Aristus and you on Jeopardy. It's nice to be able to root for the home team.

[IntravenousDemilo]

33. I always say...

...if you want opportunity to knock, it's a good idea to leave a light on over the door so it can find you. And so I subscribed to the Jeopardy! newsletter and took the online test I read about in one of their emails.

[Bennyboy]

Of course there is a connection between liberal thought and intelligence. ;-)

Mindless devotion to authoritarian figures is the opposite of the sort of omnivorous mind you see on Jeopardy!
