**Czarcasm** , I posted no spoilers about Jeopardy answers/questions, just her interview with Alex, which I do not think is a spoiler. The show is over here. Congratulations to **Fretful Porpentine** for her impressive win, $27,201. **Seaborgium** spanned two seasons of Jeopardy, I hope you do, too. ---

Hah! I guessed both countries. Just curious, FF…what is it about King John that makes it so unlikely that a high school would produce it? (knowing nothing whatsoever about the play) ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > Hah! I guessed both countries. > > Just curious, FF…what is it about King John that makes it so unlikely that a high school would produce it? (knowing nothing whatsoever about the play) The only problem with _King John_ is that you know nothing whatsoever about it and **notfrommensa** has never heard of it, and neither has most of the rest of the population. Hence, not much of a draw unless you _like_ very obscure Shakespeare, and while college theater groups sometimes take a chance on that sort of thing, high schools generally don’t. (Well, that and it’s pretty weird and episodic and makes no mention whatsoever of the Magna Carta, which is the only thing most modern-day audiences know about King John. Otherwise, it’s actually got some very cool bits.) ---

Also: Has anyone ever told you that you remarkably favor a young Joni Mitchell (and that is definitely a compliment)? Ah, but that makes me sad, as I look like [Pruitt Taylor Vince](http://ca.c.yimg.jp/movies/1046185200/img.movies.yahoo.co.jp/pict/wiredimage/16/a3/w442402-view.jpg).

Hence, not much of a draw unless you _like_ very obscure Shakespeare, and while college theater groups sometimes take a chance on that sort of thing, high schools generally don’t. I’ve been to a performance of _King John_. There used to be a theater troupe in Seattle that did “recontextualizations” of classic plays. (In their _Romeo and Juliet_, the Capulets and Montagues were rival lesbian softball teams, for example.) Their performances were in the back room of a bar. For _King John_ they divided the audience in half and gave us cocktail toothpicks with British or French flags on them, so we could cheer for our side. ---

I taped it last night before I knew a doper was going to be on. I didn’t watch it because through some unknown glitch only the audio got recorded. Now I have to watch it. Or listen to it, rather. I can pretend I’m Eddie Timanus. ---
