What are your five Jeopardy! topics?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Inspired by the Coupland book Microserfs, here’s a poll for you to name your five dream categories in Jeopardy!

Mine would be:

  1. 2D adventure games from LucasArts
  2. European underground pop music
  3. Things to do when you’re bored
  4. Meals that have potato in them
  5. Cute animals

A Jeopardy game gives you eleven categories, you know.

3

I’m doing 5 categories. I feel like Cliff Claven!

Jane Austen aka Regency England
Critical Care Nursing
Gardening
Child Developement
Snarky Political Humor

4

I forgot to line that it’s top five categories. Sorry.

  1. The History of Ice Cream
  2. Beers of the world
  3. Alternative Music
  4. Famous Bass Players
  5. World Capitals
6
  1. Psychology
  2. Southern Literature
  3. Queen Elizabeth I
  4. Diseases
  5. Anatomy
7
  1. Gilbert & Sullivan
  2. Sherlock Holmes
  3. Medieval Irish attitudes about Land Tenure and the Church
  4. Monty Python
  5. Pizza

Ooo fun! Assuming I can’t have Obscure Things That Ellen Knows, I’d choose–

  1. Popular music
  2. Catholicism
  3. American literature
  4. Before and after (You know–that wacky category. I love it.)
  5. Movies
9

White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green.

The two people on the SDMB who will get that joke will probably just groan, and it’s more than the joke deserves.

Enjoy,
Steven
