Way to go Intravenous Demilo!

[SidDithers]

Good for him!

Sid

[tblue]

7. No sheet? Wow! How much do you think he'll donate to DU? LOL

[AX10]

2. I'll try to watch.

:hi:

[WatchWhatISay]

3. What station is Jeopardy

[NewJeffCT]

9. It's syndicated, but check ABC/NBC/CBS local channels

That is where it usually has been in my area.

[slj0101]

5. Congratulations to IntravenousDeMilo!!!!!

Well-played! :applause:

edit- recommended. :thumbsup:

[WinkyDink]

8. I once lost on "Jeopardy". Que' lastima!

[WinkyDink]

24. HA! No, I'm not Weird Al!

[spooky3]

33. thought you'd like it :-)

[ThoughtCriminal]

10. If I'm ever on the show

I'd like to mess with the "Answer in the form of a question" format.

"Is it Wyoming?"
"Who is the Soviet Union?"
"Why is it always the Republican Party?"
"Can we blame the Vikings?"

[rateyes]

11. Hey, I hope you're not talking about...

the Minnesota Vikings. Only REAL Viking fans such as myself get the right to criticize them. :smile:

SKOL.

[Hepburn]

12. WoooooooHoooooooooooo.....!!!!

Tbanks for the heads up on this! Congrats and we all know that DUers are the very Best!!!

:toast: :bounce: :thumbsup: :hi: :headbang:

[mopinko]

14. my sister was on jeopardy.

if you want to get on jeopardy, have a good story to tell them. my sister's story was that the chatty cathy doll was named after her. true.

[1monster]

49. I saw that episode!

[mopinko]

56. my bad

she was on wheel of fortune.

[1monster]

57. Wheel comes on right before Jeopardy, so it easily could have been

Wheel. It was a while ago, so I don't remember clearly, but I do remember seeing someone talking about being named after Chatty Cathy.

[mopinko]

58. other way around. the doll was named after her

we had a cousin who worked at the j. walter thompson ad agency. mattel was his account.
she has a son in iraq. she won $6,400.

[DeepBlueC]

15. IDid he win?

I missed it. If he won I can check it out on Monday.

[Spazito]

17. Yes, he did win!

Very smart man, he ran away with it.

[Maraya1969]

38. So he will be on again on Monday right?

I'm just reading this thread now...Sat 12:57 ET

[Spazito]

39. I am assuming so if the normal practice of having the winner

back to compete with two new contestents is continued.

[Spazito]

16. Wow! He was a great contestent!

WTG, IntravenousDemilo, well done!

[DeepBlueC]

18. oh good

I hope he runs the table!

[The Doctor.]

19. "Freeper wins on Jeopardy!"....

:rofl: :spray: :rofl:


Sorry... I just had to say it out loud to see if it seemed as ridiculous as when I thought of it.

[AwakeAtLast]

20. ROFLMAO!!!

I was gonna give you this :spank:

until I clicked on your reply. :rofl:

:hi:

[Orsino]

30. Heh. Facts and Freepers...

...like oil and water.

[The Doctor.]

43. And those only mix when you use soap...

another thing you won't find in Freeperville.

[Orsino]

45. There's not enough soap in the world.

[ClintonTyree]

48. That's one headline you'll never read....

perhaps, "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" but NEVER "Jeopardy"! On second thought, they'd probably have to invent a totally new Game Show for FReepers: "Are You Smarter Than Basket Full Of Rocks"? :rofl: They'd at least have a fighting chance then. :rofl:

[Ishoutandscream2]

55. I can see a freeper on Jeopardy

Alex's answer "10,000 years." Freeper's response, "How long has the earth been in existence?"

[Mister Ed]

21. That guy's a DU'er? Wow, he rocked! Wonder how many DU'er Jeopardy alums there are?

I was on in '90. Won my first game, but looked like a fool in the next. :cry: :dunce:

I see one other Du'er upthread who was on. That's three already, and this thread's only half an hour old.

But this guy tonight...he's in a whole 'nother league. Betcha he racks up a string of victories.

[catzies]

35. There are almost half a dozen DUer Jeopardy alums!

We r smartur. :P ( was on in '89).

[newyawker99]

22. Congrats IntravenousDeMilo!!

:toast:

[holboz]

23. Wow - caught the end of that episode

Well done!!

It's cool there are quite a few DU'ers who have been on Jeporady.

I guess Repukes go on "Are you Smater than a 5th Grader", right?

[Ilsa]

25. Can you imagine a Jeopardy tournament between

DUers and Freepers? That would be hysterical. They'd rack up points with the pop culture shit, but if it came to real science, history, philosophy, literatuure, etc, they'd bomb.

[SoCalDem]

27. Ah'll take General Lee for a hunnerd, Alex.

:)

[Canuckistanian]

26. And he's Canadian!

From my home town, too.

Way to go, ID!

[Heidi]

28. Congratulatory kick for IntravenousDeMilo!

:kick:

[Skinner]

29. Kick ass!

I totally missed this. Will he be on again on MOnday?

[ClusterFreak]

31. Yes he should be...

He was the champion on Friday's show. ;)

[IntravenousDemilo]

32. Thanks for all the nice words, everybody.

It's nice to friends who are such good people!

[AlCzervik]

34. you freaking rule! Me and my daughter watched you and were cheering the whole time.

:toast:

[AnnInLa]

36. Color me impressed and proud!

Liberal Brain Power at work.

[IntravenousDemilo]

40. Thanks, Ann

Also the benefits of a public school education.

[kerstin]

42. Congrats, IntravenousDemilo!

Be sure and tell Alex I have a long-standing secret crush on him! He has an Edwardian gentleman type aura that I find very appealing.

Good luck on Monday! I'll be watching.:thumbsup:

[Mme. Defarge]

53. Hey, way to go!

I'm on the West Coast and will tune in tonight at 7.

[Zuiderelle]

47. We kept saying "Does he know EVERYTHING?"

:D Except of course, Grisham. :) Seriously though, you really rocked. :patriot:

[wryter2000]

51. I'm so excited for you!

I'll watch on Monday. If you win then, I'll have to tape the next show(s) because I'm having surgery on Tuesday.

[WinkyDink]

52. I am not worthy!! Awesome!!

[Anwen]

37. Wow -- congrats!!

It was exciting to watch a DUer on Jeopardy. Congratulations on a big win...very impressive! :-)

[oustemnow]

41. Was this the composer with glasses who enjoys gourmet cooking?

Watched it last night; I tend not to remember the contestants' names, just their occupations and funny stories.

If that was him, he indeed mopped the floor with his competitors. Good jorb!

[Zuiderelle]

44. He was GREAT! I saw it last night. He cleaned house.

And a DUer to boot. How cool.

[slampoet]

46. Back 20 yrs ago I had a GOP boss who passed the intellegence test for Jeopardy

....but he didn't get on when he failed the personality test.

[wryter2000]

50. Totally awesome!

It sounds as if he'll be on again on Monday. I'll watch and cheer!

[Danmel]

54. I was on Jeopardy too

This past Tuesday- I met Doug on the bus to the studio and we discovered we were both DUers. I did not win- but I will use the eternal Jeopardy excuse- crappy categories!

Doug was great- a nice guy a DUer, a Canadian. I can't wait to watch you on Monday (I'm not a Canadian, but after 6 years of Bushco, I really wish that I was!)

[ClusterFreak]

59. Monday's show....Intravenous D. kicks some more butt!!

He wins again...nice job!!:toast:
