I thought they said she died of a stroke?

It was a stroke, but the spirit was the same.

I can't remember what James Evans on Good Times died of, either.

A contract dispute.

of excessive salary demands

xp

Edith Bunker, otoh, knew the show had been exhausted

Oh God, the Bible category.

So I think I just kind of panicked because Pamela had started to pass me up?

And so I see "Satan" and "book named after him," and in the heat of the moment, I recall the literary titles The Devil and Daniel Webster and The Book of Daniel, and well, there you have it. Even though if I thought about what the clue was actually asking, I might've known that wasn't right.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY

I love that anecdote -- Stevens apparently got it good.

I got over-cocky playing along with the bible category. I missed "Gideon", too, even though after you get the answer OH MY GOD so obvious.

even just the Final category name suggested either Papa or Mailer

xp Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking with my answer of "Elijah." The name seemed heraldic somehow.

hey, jamyc, so did you, Pamela, and Church Lady go out for brews later?

My husband thought that Pamela was, and I quote, "a smug Julia Stiles-looking cat lady".

jaymc, I have so much respect for you for risking it all! I threw both my hands in the air & shouted "yes!" when I saw you'd done that.

np, dude, I wouldn't have remembered Elijah was a bass player either

you were great, John! was filled with rage at your competitors the whole time. the young lady was pretty, yes, but i found her voice v annoying.

even just the Final category name suggested either Papa or Mailer

Again, in retrospect. But "Key West" and "1936" really did make it almost a silly question. A better question would be who's ass Hemingway put on the floor in Key West in 1936.

i was hopin you'd hit that last daily double at the end of rd 2 -- did u think abt jumpin to the $1600 clue? would u have known it?

You risked it all in final jeopardy ! A true champion @ heart!!!

or "Which poet did Hemingway punch out in Key West in 1936?"

Nah, Alfred, I stayed and watched tomorrow's episode (which features WmC's daughter's English professor!) and then there was a lunch break, so I left the studio and ate maybe the best Thai food I've ever had at Jitlada. And then I went back to my brother's apartment and took a nap.

I checked Twitter and was there seriously a Doctor Who question?

Trebek: "Think American literature, and think Key West, and the answer should be obvious." Or, um, think "brawl."

yes! it was about how he's died seven times iirc

xp to suzy

Yes there was! And a Buffy question! xxp

John getting the Buffy answer was <3; i fist-pumped iirc

lol xp

You risked it all in final jeopardy ! A true champion @ heart!!!

Dude. I hope you don't need the math there explained.

I thought she was kinda CUET actually, but totally agreed on the weird guessing face.

^^

Good game jaymc!

So what did you and Alison and Alex and the crazy nervous lady shoot the breeze about after the end of the game?

did u think abt jumpin to the $1600 clue?

Honestly, I was too nervous to think that strategically, especially since they encourage you to keep the game moving.

more importantly: did you seduce Pam?

many many xposts

I was wondering if they would have accepted "Who is the Doctor" as the (technically more correct) answer to regenerations character question.

OH - I MEANT ALISON!

xp Do the judges have your number?

Nah, Alfred, I stayed and watched tomorrow's episode (which features WmC's daughter's English professor!) and then there was a lunch break, so I left the studio and ate maybe the best Thai food I've ever had at Jitlada. And then I went back to my brother's apartment and took a nap.

jitlada roxx did u meet the lady who runs it / cooks?

So what did you and Alison and Alex and the crazy nervous lady shoot the breeze about after the end of the game?

I don't really remember? It was a little awkward! I think I tried to make a joke about Alison being a tough competitor.

I mixed up Allison and Pamela too, they are easy names to mix up.

Allison is obv. the one who looks like Julia Stiles and not Pamela.

I was enraged to see they still have the Clue Crew, though it looks like they aren't making a big deal of calling them the Clue Crew.

jitlada roxx did u meet the lady who runs it / cooks?

Ha, yeah. She talked to us for like 15-20 minutes after our meal. Quite a character.

or "Which poet did Hemingway punch out in Key West in 1936?"

Wouldn't have gotten the answer to that. Probably would've guessed, I dunno, Ezra Pound.

I know, right? I hadn't watched Jeopardy in a while and had hoped it had gone away. xxp

John getting the Buffy answer was <3; i fist-pumped iirc

I've never even seen Buffy! But, y'know, context helped.

POUND, getit?

personally still haven't forgiven hemingway. stevens writes rings around that hard-man faker.

I'm still thinking of a better Final Jeopardy question.

"His 'Idea of Order at Key West' was disrupted when Ernest Hemingway punched him out in a bar dispute there in 1936."

Ha, yeah. She talked to us for like 15-20 minutes after our meal. Quite a character.

haha us too. did she talk about twitter

I got the Dr Who answer w/out ever seeing it, but wd've preferred a "Who is Who" answer.

Never heard of this Stevens-Ernie fight before.
