This never had a chance.
Really. Those pauses are indeed awkward. I can’t imagine anyone thinking that they’re…
(pauses awkwardly)
… a good idea.
There was a contestant recently who, after getting a clue correct and needing to pick the next one, looked up at the board like he had never seen it before. After a few seconds he would hesitantly pick a new clue. I believe he was on the re-run show last Saturday.
Maybe this guy:
Can’t they cinch up those pauses in post?
Okay, who got this one wrong?
In “It’s a Wonderful Life”, little Zuzu Bailey says, “Every time a bell rings”, this happens.
< raises hand > Screwed by one measly word!
I thought it was “her” Turns out it was “his.”
I still say angels are "it"s.
I still say angels aren’t “made” but have always existed, before Man, and are separate beings. And they started with wings.
But, considering not many Christians understand this, I’ll grant that in 1946 general sexism only allowed for male angels.
I remember reading a story in which the angels were portrayed as sexless, or lacking genitalia, like a Ken doll.
In 1946, and for decades after, male pronouns were understood to apply to both sexes. Also, there’s nothing in the storyline of IAWL that suggests there weren’t female angels. We just didn’t happen to see any.
I think that was mentioned in the Kevin Smith movie Dogma.
I got home late, and when seeing Govind I thought it was celebrity Jeopardy with Ray Ramano.

Monday’s game, that was a really dumb DD bet at the end. Another $201 would have made it a runaway.
I enjoyed that short story category!
But really, are there any other scriveners than Bartelby? Like asking a question about “gonzo journalists” - there’s only one.
Not only that, her FJ bet left thousands on the table. A win is a win, but…
I found it almost impossible. Other the the scrivener.
Yeah. Ken even acknowledged that during the show, which surprised me for some reason.
Am I the only one who is shocked that none of them got the reference to St. Thomas Becket in yesterday’s final?
