I’m not posting any pictures. I’m going to do you one better and post the exact date that I’ll be on the show so you all can watch me either make a fool of myself or fucking dominate everyone and get the Count Rockula/DB Cooper Presidential Campaign off on the right foot.
By the way, do you accept our nomination of you and your tree-killing face as Secretary of Defense/Offense?

I was thinking about either that or answering them as if I’m completely disgusted that Drabek would even ask the contestants something so simple. And maybe I’ll wear a really expensive suit, but with nothing but boxer shorts and the shirt/jacket/tie/vest/handkerchief combo so that I look really dapper until I walk out from behind the podium to greet Alex after crushing my opponents into sawdust, which I will be quick to remind them of.

I sincerely hope you call him Drabek on the show.

Not only that, I’ll call him DRAbek, as in Doug Drabek.

Fuck, I didn’t even realize I’ve been calling him Drabek and not Trebek. Oh well, I don’t remember spelling his name correctly, or even giving a fuck about how it’s spelled, being a category on there.

One other thing: when they have the part of the show where Drabek asks each contestant a little something about themselves, I’m going to say that I rip stop signs out of the ground in my spare time. Either that or I’ll tell him about the time squirrels laid eggs in my house. And any question about 16th century women will be answered with “what is: RogueVampire?”[/quote]
I say you go full Celebrity Jeopardy Turd Ferguson
I also tried out for college jeopardy several years ago and was a complete failure. Back then (in my day, that is), they grouped us all in a room and had us answer a few dozen questions quickly. I blew it on that round so I don’t know what they did after that.
My sorority sister won three days, tho, so at least I hung out with smart people.

I’ve been trying to read things really fast, like your post, so that I gt better at comprehending something written with lightning quick speed. That way I can take in each question and have the answer before Trebek gets even halfway through with it and I’ll have several seconds of extra thinking time compared to my opponents.
I’m not doing well at it, so far.
I read your post really fast and here’s what I thought I read: They groped us all in a room and had us answer questions quickly. I blew everyone that round and I don’t know what they did to me after that.
I jerked off so many times after reading that that I passed out and my GF found me on the floor of the kitchen trembling violently.
So I just watched Jeopardy! tonight and if I were on the show I would’ve fucking DOMINATED everyone. The defending champ was a fucking barney, there was a woman who looked like she’d never been fucked and didn’t really care if it ever happened for her, and a total fag who blew it on the Final Jeopardy! question.
At the end of the first round the highest score was only $3200 but I knew more than half of the answers, including the Daily Double question and 5 of the 6 $1000 questions. In Double Jeopardy! it was even more of a mismatch because there were two categories where I knew every answer.
Final Jeopardy! was fucking easy and the old maid was the only one who got it right. I would have destroyed everyone because this is one of those categories where I would have been All In no matter how much more I had than the rest.
Category: Presidential Running Mates; the question: At the traditional inaugural luncheon this President and Vice-President had steamed and stuffed lobster and prime ribs and beef au jous.

I’m not sure. I’ll bet what they do is they always keep a couple alternates around, like in a cage behind the Big Board, and if someone gets out of line Trebek just presses a button and the contestant in question drops through a hole in the floor. That’s the side of Trebek we DON"T see. Then they just wheel an alternate out, chain the fucker down to the podium and start over with new categories. The show isn’t live so they can edit all that shit out beforehand.

Make sure to check the floor before you start. Take a wider stance or something.

There are several repeat champions that post regularly on Ken Jennings’ message board and they agree the key is buzzing in fast enough. Every good Jeopardy player knows almost all the answers. Knowing does no good if you can’t buzz-in in time. It’s the reason Ken and Brad (probably the two best Jeopardy players of all time) lost to Watson.
In Jennings’ book he describes how he would practice for the show by standing behind a recliner holding a makeshift buzzer. As his wife read off the questions, he would hit his “buzzer” – which of course didn’t actually do anything – before answering. This would done strictly to stimulate the actual game environment and practice the skill of buzzing in.
