Thanks Jason, it's a lot of fun. Great idea in creating this thread.
I'll have to get the juices flowing again to do some more but right now, I'm stressed a bit (for other reasons). ~67~ -------------------- |

Ronbo To those who are curious, the person who first told me about doing this, used to write answers for Jeopardy! I dont know if he currently does, but the next time that I speak with him, I will have him read this thread. Who knows, maybe some of this thread will appear on the show...if it is STILL running You do have my assurance that if he does used any of these, then the appropriate person will be recognized.

Jason,
That is so cool to know someone who wrote answers for Jeopardy! I find myself occasionally watching Jeopardy just to see if I can answer some of them, lol. Most of the contestants on that show seemed to be the world's most boring yet smartest. I heard Louie Anderson (I think it was him) say "do ya ever watch Jeopardy? Did ya ever notice that 'What is the Mississippi River' is the correct response at least once on every show?" That always stuck in my head, half laughing. I have yet to see a show where that rings true but it's funny anyway, lol. Whether any of us gain fame with our creativity or not, it's been fun so far. ~67~ -------------------- |
