StraightDope Jeopardy III

Who is Speaker for the DEad?

PC 400 please.

The nice thing about that little snafu is that ID’s misspelling didn’t affect my answer at all, it was wrong anyway (though I’m still wondering how people did it in the past).

Correct!

(didn’t take any points from your wrong answer, by the way, nor would I anyone who got a wrong answer that last one, because I had it misspelled too)

Already posted my selection.

One of us is misunderstanding the situation, then, because at the beginning I had 1300, got that one wrong, got SftD right, and now I have 900 points.

Who is iamthewalrus, with a couple characters after it?

To clarify, iamthewalrus(:3=. I wonder what the (:3= is about…

Yep, you’re right, on both accounts. Sorry bout that.
It (along with the two you got right since then) is restored.

PC 600. It’s good. Thanks!

By the way, I don’t choose categories when answering a clue anymore because of the chance I’ll delay my post a couple all-important seconds.

I was thinking GMRyujin or CandidGamera, but yours fits more literally, which is, I think, Idle Thoughts’ intent.
