Battle royale modes are starting to show up in otherwise non-BR games (most notably the next Call of Duty) so yeah the concept is bigger than Fortnite and Pubg now.

You can go there for too much fun.

Associate Justice Lena "Kegels" Dunham: An uncool thought to have: 'is that guy walking in the dark behind me a rapist? Never mind, he's Asian.
Hyphenate means "person who is active in more than one occupation or sphere."

That's totally a thing I knew before 2 minutes ago

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Same, I was wracking my brain for a hyphenated Oscar winner and drawing blanks besides Daniel Day-Lewis and he definitely has an acting Oscar. I think the contestants did the same, going off of how they answered.

Yeah, after like 2 minutes of discussing it with my husband I settled on the terrible answer of Jean-Claude Van Damme because Daniel Day-Lewis had definitely won an acting oscar.

This is so funny to me. My wife was very close friends with Doug in college. I've hung out with him on multiple occasions, he came to our wedding, etc. He's seriously one of the funniest, most charming people I've ever met but as I'm watching him on Jeopardy I'm thinking to myself, "Oh Doug, if I didn't know you I would think you were so insufferable."

He's just a goofball.

'Backrolls'? It's from RuPaul's Drag Race. One drag queen insulted another with it and the reaction has lived on ever since. Doug even pulled the face.

Ben Affleck was literally the first name that came to mind but then I got thrown by the category in this exact way. I realized about a minute after the end what it was referring to.

Went to my in-person audition yesterday. Pretty much the same as the one I did just over 12 years ago, I reckon, except hopefully this one will get me on the show. Biggest changes were: fewer people at once, no Johnny Gilbert voiceover reading the clues this time, and the room had windows.

Nice! Congrats on making the show. Although seeing you post reminds me how long ago I gave up on posting in the soccer subforum, because of all the "ironic" racism disguised as "banter."

And I agree on always risking everything on a first-round Daily Double, since you'll usually be risking the value of only like two or three Double Jeopardy answers.
