Cory, youâve arrived. You and âJoustâ.
Misread the copy, I thought the category was âHipsters Who Write.â
Jeopardy is really going way off the rails with its gimmick. None of the correct âquestionsâ are even remotely âansweredâ by the clues.
I mean in what twisted dysfunctioning brain is that considered an answer to âWhat is Disney World?â
I want to get on Jeopardy just to see how theyâd react to âWhat was Abraham Lincolnâ or âWho is the War of 1812.â Theyâre properly formed and just as valid under their silly rule, right?
Congratulations, Cory! I thinks thatâs fantastic!!!
I was watching. this is one I didnât answer because I can never keep it straight which one is Disneyland/Disneyworld/CA/FL. (I, uh⌠havenât read your book)
Just to put it out there, this was no ordinary game; this was the final game of the college tournament of champions. it was a Big Deal.
"In the future everyone will get a turn at being a Jeopardy answer."
Awesome!! Congrats!
Awesome, man. Iâd be proud too if it were me!
Next up for Cory is a Monopoly playing piece!
Who is Tony Orlando! And grammatically speaking that should be âpark virtually.â

So was I, years ago, but you donât hear me bragging about it.
So, the next time a heckler claims you havenât got a clueâŚ
I may be the only one who ever got his own name wrong on final Jeopardy. The correct response was âThe Seagull,â (the Chekov play). I had enough of a lead to win anyway, but Trebek ragged me about it on the next show.
The fifth was Connie Blackout Willis.
That was my first thought⌠âoh, that oneâs easy⌠um⌠waitâŚâ
Of course, on another recent clue in the tournament, no one apparently dared to guess what âFTLâ stands for, even with the context of jumping âfrom star to starâ and âhyperspace driveâ.
This has always pissed me off about Jeopardy, an otherwise entertaining show. The âquestion as an answerâ is a pointless gimmick. Always has been.
