25. Hey, I gotta a good progressive investment opportunity for ya!

... if you have a lot of money to "invest" in stuff!

San Diego needs a new radio station to replace KLSD, which just flipped from progressive talk to sports talk coming Monday. There's been talking behind the scenes of a few stations here that we are trying to look as possibly ones to "buy out" to keep progressive talk here, and get the big f'in Clear Channel monkey off of our back in the process! We could use more investors!

Jon Elliott could also use a new home. Not sure where Air America has planned for him to broadcast from starting next week!

30. Do you post on the Jeopardy board?

I lurk there...someday I'll post. :-)

You contestants deserve a lot of respect...I don't know how you can do it...it's one thing to be at home, thinking "oh, *I* could do that!" It's quite another BEING there...the audience, the cameras, all of it...I know I'd be nervous as hell.

32. Huh. That's odd.

I won in '92, and unless you initialed a paper saying "Don't send me this" for every item, you got it...and had to pay taxes on the value.

13. Spoiler

I usually never watch Jeopardy but I happened to catch it tonight. He was at least a thousand in the red at one point, but came back in Double Jeopardy and bet it all on Final Jeopardy to beat out this geeky little twerp who was annoying the crap out of me.

42. From a former Quiz Bowl captain,

a tip of my hat. :yourock: One of our team members went to tryouts and made it to the second level or something, but she didn't get on the show. Since then, they've banned us since our league used the same company for the questions. It's too bad, since our coach would've kicked ass.

52. I am two, but I'm wise beyond my years, so I'm often mistaken for three.

If you're going from left to right on the screen, or even from right to left, I was in the middle on Friday, and I shall be in the middle again on Monday -- the #2 position.

61. That's right, the five winners and the four highest-scoring among the non-winners.

All the Wednesday quarterfinalists got through because they were fairly evenly matched and they knew how to wager.
