I could be wrong, but I thought one of the women in the ghost gang was wearing an old-fashioned dress, definitely pre-Deal Mart. Didn't really get a good look at their costumes (though I'm pretty sure the butcher was wearing a Deal Mart apron; maybe he liked to fight in real life, too, and lost that one).

Maybe they looked up maps of the area online before he left. As a scout and travel agent, he probably has a decent memory for that sort of thing. Eli Manning?

Ditto. I just wanna see how it ends. Gee, is it too much work for a 20-something kid to run a restaurant and play caterer for a college cafeteria that apparently has no contracts with actual vendors who have the capacity to supply places like cafeterias serving hundreds of meals a day? I wonder... Is this the same day as when we left off last week or is this another order of hamburgers? Um, Darlene, cheap earbuds don't drown out a conversation happening less than ten feet from where you're sitting. Especially since everyone on this show half-yells their lines. Harris needs something like this:

"...far off lands like whatever's west of Michigan." 😆 "My ghost power is making people forget what they're looking for when they come into an aisle." Well, that explains so much. Target is haunted. It would be fun to see Pete roam around the world and see what ghosts he meets. He can just talk to them and not look crazy like Sam. "Oh, my god he lost Pete." Well, to be fair, he has no idea where Pete is and no way to keep track of him. So Pete lost Jay. "Quick death is it's own form of kindness." Why doesn't Sam take Pete where he needs to go? At least she can make sure he gets out of the car... Trevor's expression when they were trying to figure out the throuple positioning...😆

Love the professors declaring they tried everything to get him to stay. Glad they told him he needs to go. "...a toast to our complete and utter lack of integrity!"

Is anyone going to ask Sheldon where he wants to go? "Why would you wanna be close to us?"

I did, too. Didn't think it was right, at least.

April 25: 73% / 50% / 61% Not too bad in the first round, terrible in the second. Missed three in Gorges and one each in everything else. In DJ I missed one in DC, one in Holidays (out the of four they actually got to), two in Rock & Roll (out of three), two in Vocabulary, three in Sailing Novel (out of four), and four in French History. Had no clue for FJ. Amy needs to pick up the pace. TSes: (J had 5; DJ had 9, plus 1 DD, plus four clues left on the board) I got Tanzania, Parker Brothers, and Maybellene.

I ended up turning this one off. I had zero attention span to devote to it. Didn't even move my laptop from the table (where if I'm sitting properly in my chair my back is to the TV).

I am finding the tumor show surprisingly heartwarming; I even just turned the TV back on to see what tonight's mass is. Even though I should go to bed. I've been watching After Midnight (the CBS reboot of Comedy Central's @Midnight)on youtube while checking in on the chat every so often. It's Weird Al Yankovic, Drew Carey, and Thomas Lennon. If you need a palate cleanser after all the apparent dreariness of this episode you might want to check it out. Absolute chaos in the best way. :) Hope everyone has a good week!

I was doing jigsaw puzzles while I was waiting for the show to start! I use jigsawexplorer.com.

I think there was a Hoarders episode not too far from me.

I didn't dislike her but she seemed kinda nervous.

Pretty sure there's been more than one from New Jersey, but the only one I can think of was Robert who passed away before the episode finished.

I turned it off. Now watching youtube videos on topics that are generally not allowed here. But still reading because I love you all.

I like the orange flower on whatever-her-name-is's head.

I honestly can't say I'm paying attention to these people.

My brother got me a big bottle of black Sambuca for Christmas. I haven't even opened it yet...

I'm here... I'm heating up mac & cheese with broccoli for my eating habit. I went for a walk when I got home from work.

April 24: 80% / 57% / 69% Good first round, bad second. Back to normal, I guess. In J! I ran the entire right half of the board! - Etymologies, The Rite Stuff, and Movement. Missed two each in US Military Actions, Celebrity Memoirs, and Hiking Gear. DJ I ran Essays, missed one in "Old", two in Near the Equator, three each in Art & Artists and Music from 10 Years Ago, and four in Engineering Marvels. FJ was an instaget. TSes: (J had only the DD; DJ had 7 + both DDs) I got Civil Disobedience (DD), Komodo (DD), Democratic Republic of Congo, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. They missed all the Daily Doubles and I got them all right!

I know, I said to myself, he's not old enough to know that one!

My first thought was NAACP and then my brain quickly reset and realized the clue was specifically referencing colleges. CERN = Conseil européen pour la Recherche nucléaire, or The European Organization for Nuclear Research; an intergovernmental organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. So we can all thank CERN for our being here today to discuss Jeopardy!

Stop banking after every answer! Aw, I was rooting for Michael.

April 23: 63% / 77% / 69% Flipping the script! Meh first round, good second! In J! I missed one in Pop Culture and Math, two in Presidents & First Ladies, Words, and What Are You Afraid Of, and three in Italian Products. I did better in Math than in Words…that's just not normal. In DJ I ran Authors and "Pro" Nouns, missed one in The Picture of Someone Named Grey and I'll Remember Late April, two in Song/Ad, and three in Shared Lakes (why can I never remember Chad?!) Did not get FJ (also guessed Wells Fargo; my mind went to banking, not jewelry). TSes: (J had 5; DJ had 4 + 1DD) I got coefficient, Ken Kesey, CERN, and United Negro College Fund (DD). Too bad math professor Marko! wasn't still there for the math category. Yay! I was rooting for Mark tonight. I started writing this comment between the intros and the start of the game and my first line was, "I will have to stop watching the intros if Nam sticks around." Lianne was too slow.

I read Their Eyes Were Watching God in college, but know nothing of Moms Mabley. So I knew the novel she was best known for when the correct answer was revealed, but that didn't help me figure it out.
