    Trebek is Savage

    A big part of Jeopardy that's different from other trivia formats is the need for understanding the puns, jokes, and category tricks. We had a "Before and After" category, for example. Other times, I knew enough that the other hints within the clue could narrow my choices down enough so I could...

    Trebek is Savage

    Last I checked, there's no footage of my games on YouTube, but did find one of my games on a Russian equivalent. I'm guessing it took the footage from YouTube before Sony made YouTube delete it. As someone who played quiz bowl all through HS, the ringing in wasn't too bad - the challenge is...

    Trebek is Savage

    Came in second in the 2001 College Tournament representing FSU. Won two shows, second in two-day final to win $20k. We were the very last episodes filmed before they doubled the dollar values.

    Trebek is Savage

    Oh, he is definitely an ass. Dirty old man, too. When I was on in 2001 he was rather lecherous toward the girls in the college tournament with me. Not touchy, just kinda skeevy.

    Invest 99L (Now TD 9)(Now TS Hermine)(Now Hurricane Hermine)

    We got back on at 3:30 yesterday morning and after a couple more blips, seem to be in good shape. Our internet is down because Comcast is still Comcast, but our TV is through DirecTV, so we have television at least.

    Invest 99L (Now TD 9)(Now TS Hermine)(Now Hurricane Hermine)

    I hope you're one of the lucky few in Waverly to get power back tonight. Lasswade was not, it seems, so we're still away from home. Maybe tomorrow...

    Invest 99L (Now TD 9)(Now TS Hermine)(Now Hurricane Hermine)

    I've had a couple friends pop back on in the Killearn area, and it looks like Highgrove just got back on, but I was just home and confirmed the southern half of Lasswade is dark. Still have lines down on the road. The outage map originally looked like Lasswade was alone, but there are now a lot...

    Bad News For Us Tallahassee Folks...Mayor Gillum

    Waverly has one road that's almost completely out (mine, unfortunately), and a lot of other spots too - Brandemere is one I've heard a lot from. My road that's out still has three downed lines on it. There are a lot of other folks here and there in the neighborhood who are out, which is a worse...

    Did FSU campus lose power?

    No one's mentioned any problems. Champions Club got its certificate of occupancy right before the storm.

    Bad News For Us Tallahassee Folks...Mayor Gillum

    We live in Waverly too - from what I can tell, we got really lucky with trees not taking out people's houses, but I agree we'll be out quite a while.

    Can anyone reommend an iPad repair place in Tallahassee?

    I had good results with Computer Repair Doctor at both of their locations (the other is on E Tenn by Leon) on my phone and my daughter's.

    Piggys BBQ Permanently Closed Down Today

    We tried it tonight, but will be sticking with 4R. None of us were thrilled with the sauce and our ribs were pretty tough. The only hit was the chicken wings which had great flavor. I agree with the disappointment with the amphitheater. I thought they were only partially done when we went to...

    Avenue Q....Anyone seen it?

    We saw it when it came to Tallahassee. It's a fantastic show, but definitely raunchy. There were some people sitting near us who apparently didn't know what they were coming to see and they didn't come back after intermission. The Internet is for Porn

    Rank the high schools in Tally...

    Rickards hasn't placed in any of the local Brain Bowl competitions over the last five years and has a pretty disappointing IB diploma earning rate. I certainly wouldn't consider theirs a quality IB program like Eastside in Gainesville or Stanton and Paxon in Gainesville. One of Maclay's recent...

    Rank the high schools in Tally...

    Academics are easy. Maclay has a solid lead over Chiles and over Rickards (IB program), followed by Leon, then Lincoln and Florida High, then Godby, NFC, FAMU High, and Rickards (regular students) are far behind. Athletics are a whole different area entirely. Different schools excel in...
