Jeopardy! Season 41 (2024-2025)

Didn’t know whether to give that story^^ a laugh or a horrified face, so I settled for a neutral thumbs up. I hope the cat wasn’t offended that you opted for pizza over the other delivered treat.

Ditto.  I was going to use the laugh but then thought of the poor little dead mouse.

I don't think she intended to share. When I first saw her she was hunched over it and I thought it was a hairball or something (even though they weren't prone to those, but it was the same color as her). When I got close she grabbed it and ran to the other side of the fireplace.

He was so cute, too. Just a baby still. 🙁

I said the Dnieper.  I'm not sure on a scale of 1 to 10 how stupid an answer that is, but it's definitely wrong.

 I got the missed clues of peasant's revolt and Wilkie Collins.

Drew looks even hotter in a suit. And did you see him bopping away to the think music? My life is going to be so dull without that smile. If they do a remake of Barbie, he could be Ken.

I almost said Volga, but after a bit more thought, actually came up with the correct response for FJ!  It has been marginally warmer today -- it got above freezing, and it's meant to be less cold tonight as well.  A low of about 18 instead of 6.

I also got the TS of Silver Spring, hexagram, and The Wild Robot.

Just a quick cat/mouse story. One of mine brought in a mouse who then escaped & ran under the couch but his tail was still visible so I grabbed it hoping to catch him & release him back outside. Anyway I yanked it quickly & his tail came off in my hand, so I'm stood there holding his tail while the cat is chasing a tail less mouse around the house.

January 23:

77% / 83% / 79%

Had a pretty good game tonight! In J I ran The Night Sky and Curls, missed one in For the "Gram", and two in Colorful World, Page to Screen, and Fun. In DJ I ran Alliterative Lit, 9-Letter Words, and Orchestra, missed one in January Babies and News Personalities, and three in History of Britain. Did not get FJ.

TSes: (J had 2 + the DD; DJ had 3 + 1 DD) I got Silver Spring (DD, before he got it wrong), Simone de Beauvoir (DD), and Wilkie Collins.

I am having a weird week. I thought I'd seen all the episodes, but reading all yours comments, I'm thinking I might have missed one. Either that, or my attention blanked out and I missed a bunch of something I thought I was watching.

Drew's tie was neatly tied. Did he tie it himself this time?

I wish Ken had asked!

[Packerbrewerbadger]

Could jeopardy please have Drew and Sam Buttrey compete against each other for like a week or more……..? Maybe Matt Amodio on the last buzzer………

[Bastet]

The J! curse strikes again, with David Lynch.

I almost ran colorful world, but I joined Will in saying Silver Springs instead of Spring.  I corrected myself immediately, possibly before Ken would have had a chance to rule me incorrect, so I could give myself credit, but I'll keep it as an almost.  I definitively ran everything else in the first round except page to screen, in which I missed two.

I did not continue to kick ass in DJ, though.  I only ran words.  I got all but Billy Budd in lit and all but Abby Phillip in news, but missed three in Britain and two each in the rest.

FJ was an instaget, though, so I looped back around to a high note.

I'm rooting for Mehal, so glad to see him in the lead.

That happens to me, too. I'll be reading the comments and have no idea what y'all are talking about and then someone mentions something that I *do* remember and I'm baffled as to why I don't remember the rest of the stuff.  Ah, the blessings of aging.

(Remember when a post like this would get slammed for "boards on boards"? I never understood that rule from TWOP.)
