When I see a 9/11 victim family on television I'm just like 'Given the existence as uttered forth in the public works of Puncher and Wattmann of a personal God quaquaqua'
I don't know if anyone in the thread has found a better one, but I found a pretty good site for making Jeopardy! boards:

http://www.wolfescience.com/byojeopardy/

It's great if you want to make a board for a game night with your friends. Or, hey, if you just want to stump the thread. I put together a couple fairly easy ones (warning, they're bad):

here's the first:
single:
http://www.wolfescience.com/byojeopardy/play.php?id=35339
double:
http://www.wolfescience.com/byojeopardy/play.php?id=35344

Here's the second:
Single:
http://www.wolfescience.com/byojeopardy/play.php?id=35401

Double:
http://www.wolfescience.com/byojeopardy/play.php?id=35403


The only problem I have with it is the daily double replaces one random clue on the board, so you have to write a whole new category for each daily double, rather than just having one of the clues in the categories be the daily double. Lame. It also has the old dollar values rather than the doubled values. You can change it, but I was too lazy.

Yeah I was rooting for Cecily. Unfortunately, they've been making Daily Doubles so much easier lately. It's ridiculous. Not to mention Final Jeopardy was a freaking joke.

Whenever its 'famous women in american history' its so loving cookie cutter easy that you can name 5 common women and have a chance of getting it right, because its always loving the same answers. I called rosa parks before the question and I'm not even smart.

July 1969 was in the clue. At least Kennedy was a guess that actually was related to the moon program.

For anyone who doesn't know, you can view what the Final Jeopardy question of the day's game will be by going here http://www.jeopardy.com/gamesandmobile/clueoftheday/ which they usually update early in the morning the day of.

It's how I was able to feel :smug: about Goddard and predict the three people wouldn't piece it together around lunchtime yesterday.

(Actually it was fake :smug: and more aimed at Sara who also didn't get it)

You know she set the bar for you right? You have to get on there and make at least $80,000 on your first three appearances.

Also, is that answer Don Quixote?

I'm sure it'll pick back up if something interesting happens. A big win streak, a particularly annoying contestant, one of us getting the call to get on the show, or a tournament happening. Until then I guess there's not a ton to talk about though, you're right.

Well, how about the easiest final jeopardy question ever, and the two dudes with $20,000 ended up losing, and the girl with $7,000 won because they wagered huge.

Sorry, but I just started a new job which means that I'm rarely home for Jeopardy anymore. Also, you all convinced me that if I just checked my Gmail spam folder, I'd find a missing audition email, and that just got my hopes up way too high.

To be fair, I'd have been thrown off by the shooting reference because that sounds way too edgy for a Jeopardy clue.

There were a couple $1000 and $2000 questions that were triple stumpers and I was screaming the answer at the TV. Then some other ones that weren't even the hardest question in the category, and no one got them.

A few times all 3 contestants buzzed in with the wrong answer. They took so long that almost 7 clues were left unrevealed in the Double Jeopardy.

And then the champ couldn't figure out that the Olympic event originally called "quin-something" would now be called "pentathlon," after Alex made fun of one of the other contestants for spelling it wrong.
