Is Anyone A Fan of Jeopardy?

I've been watching Jeopardy for years. For how smart those egg heads are, they sure are stupid when Alex introduces each of them and describes something "interesting" about them or a "funny" story. And the ridiculous banter begins.

Alex: So Ben Greenwood is from Chicago and apparently, Chicago really is the Windy City according to Ben. Tell us about that Ben.

Ben: It's true Alex. I was in downtown Chicago one time and I was late for a meeting and in my frantic scurry, I dropped my briefcase and it was so windy that a lot of the papers started blowing away. It took me almost five minutes to retrieve them all.

Alex: Oh my. I hope you weren't late for the meeting.

Ben: Well, I was but it made for a really funny story that everyone still talks about.

Alex: I'm sure it did.

I swear I've never heard an interesting or amusing story told. Shut up nerds and start playing!

And on the subject of Jeopardy, here's a great Jeopardy website called J! Archive that lets you roll over questions to see the answers. Nice.

Thanks Mr Johhny Goodtimes Quizzo Man

Johnny Goodtimes - the Philly Quizzo guy gave a shout out to That Blue Yak in today's post. Looks as though there are other Swap Shops on AM radio - not just the best, which of course is Ron's Swap Shop on WCOJ in West Chester. The show Goodtimes refers to is at WESR in Virginia. From the looks of his post however, there is one common thread - people who call swap shops are back woodsy, non computer using folk with alot of junk to unload. God bless em'.
