Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Wow, great game! I KNEW you were going to get The Onion question!

22

WOO HOO
Great game. Congratulations!
:slight_smile:

23

Wow, you haven’t watched for a while, have you? He’s had it shaved off for years now. :slight_smile:

** FRANKIE!!!**

Ya done good!
Wasn’t the Final Jeopardy question screwed up? “What city’s capitol had it’s blah blah lowered 3 inches blah blah blah…”

I wasn’t aware a city had a capitol. Shouldn’t that have been “What state’s capitol…?”

25

I was yelling at the screen the whole time. Now everyone thinks I’m nuts for being so excited about Jeopardy!!

Congratulations. You did us Dopers proud!!!

26

Amazing! You did well, and I hope you enjoyed the vacation.

I’d love to be on J!, but I’m too old for kids’ Jeopardy! and too young for the college edition. :frowning:

Thanks!

I wasn’t aware a city had a capitol. Shouldn’t that have been “What state’s capitol…?”

NutMagnet— That question caught in my ear, as well; I just took it to mean the capitol building.

Thanks again.

28

That’s what they meant. I had read the thread before watching the show, so I was prepared to figure it out.

Congrats, AugestWest! We will be rooting for you!

29

Augest West: You look pretty sharp in that suit.

Huh? No, I haven’t seen it. Damn work :frowning:

30

Duuuuuuude!!!

31

I missed it and didn’t even read this thread until this evening! did you win?

32

And, as Frank said during the interview portion, the residents have no plans to change the name, as it’s gotten the town a bit of publicity during the ongoing unpleasantness in Iraq.

I passed the Jeopardy! audition once, but wasn’t selected to appear on the show. Hope that I’ll acquit myself at least as well as AugestWest did when/if I finally make the cut!

33

A state has a capital city. A capital city has a capitol building.

34

Nice work! Congrats! (after the Onion question I said to the husband "Well, of course he would know that!)

35

Damn I was hoping to be the first to mention the Onion. Way to go Frank.

36

And I didn’t see this thread until now! How’d ya do?

My mom was on back in 1994 – St. Patrick’s Day. She ended up tying for second, but got a trip to Ireland. :slight_smile:

37

Thanks very much, everyone.

The city/capital issue didn’t register with me at the time, but it did ring alarm bells when I was watching tonight.

Make sure you watch tomorrow night so you can see me get frustrated when I can’t ring in on time!

38

Damn! I missed it! And I totally forgot about WoF tonight, too. I hope my SPIN didn’t come up!

So what was the Onion question anyway?

39

But, how did you do? :stuck_out_tongue:

40

Go Frank!!! You’re sorta cute, btw, in that “I’m married so I’d never even consider it but yes he’s adorable” kind of way. :slight_smile:

Anyone else wondering if Frank told Trebek to suck it?
