comic strip title characters.

these 2 were named for a european “theologian who believed in predestination” & a “philosopher with a dim view of human nature”

she had tiny Italian boobs.
Well that's my story.
So one of the Double Jeopardy categories was "2 of the 3 letters are vowels", and the answers were like "cue" or "ear".

But one of the clues was "to be unwell', and the answer was "ill".

Did I just mishear or was that a mistake?

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.

Hmm. That's definitely something where if you're looking at "ail" printed on the card and heard her say that, you could hear it. She did say "ill", but I don't know that the judges could go back and take points away for that.

Yeah, she was good, just sometimes you get the wrong opponent on Jeopardy, and/or you just don’t strike the daily doubles.

I don't care what he looks like. I hate any contestant where I can see them gesturing exaggeratedly to the camera while somebody else is answering a clue. It's obnoxious.

He was also jamming on the buzzer like he was expecting it to spit out a cup of coffee or something.

That dumbass wave he made to close out the first round made me want to punch my television.

I mentioned that above with a link, but I guess it isn’t official until Jeopardy makes a video of it themselves...

Nah, it’s cool. I guess I’m just overreacting due to lack of sleep.

Also lack of interesting Jeopardy contestants and such.

lol @ the guy who said "fox on socks." I'm gonna go tell my folks that the endless requests to have Fox in Socks as my bedtime story when I was a kid (which had to eventually be limited to no more than thrice per week) were valuable because it could've won them good money on Jeopardy! some day :v:
