RE Yesterday's Jeopardy! TOC Quarterfinal. Man that Tom Devlin is really really good.
Easily the most impressive thing I did on Jeopardy! was give that guy a close game his first episode.

RIP to Alabama civil rights icon Claudette Colvin, who, at 15, sparked the Montgomery bus boycott that Rosa Parks was also involved in. Though much less well known (due to decisions of the movement's leaders), this courageous woman should also be remembered. www.claudettecolvinfoundation.com

I told a producer that I'd taken a city bus down to Skid Row and burned all my study material to help a homeless guy keep war. He almost believed me.

I learned last night that CJ Stroud, quarterback of the Houston Texans, bears the full name Coleridge Bernard Stroud, IV (don't ask me where the J comes from lol). Since my team is out, and since Coleridge is one of my favorite poets, I'm going to have to root for Houston!

Thank you so much, my friend! It was a wonderful experience and the best part is sharing it with so many other smart and decent folks. You're one of my favorite ;)

This will be much harder to achieve, and, considering getting on the show took me thirty years, pretty unlikely overall. But if you want to help, www.amazon.com/Legend-Colga...

23.10.2025 14:40 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thanks, Andy! The only way I feel like I should have gotten it quickly enough was that after two of them, which I was fairly sure of, I should have realized the dialing speed clue, which I couldn't parse, meant it had to be a permutation of the same three numbers.
