    If Birdy says "Suck It Trebek" on the show, I'll match his winnings. ;D

    JR, it won't be difficult. I'll be the one in the middle podium on April 3rd's show. Had you not big-timed me last summer when I was in your fair city, you'd know what I look like. ;)

    And Editude, BuckWeaver's right. Oberjuerge was on Jeopardy in the late 80s. Missed a Super Bowl question that he hasn't lived down to this day.

    The sportswriter who won Ben Stein's Money? Your's truly, back in '98.

    Not the only sportswriter to have faced Ben Stein, however. Bill Shaikin of the L.A. Times was on that show and either beat Stein or proved himself Stein's intellectual equal, as I recall.

    Paul O's appearance was 1988, btw. He confirmed.

    I won some of Ben Stein's money too.

    But I failed the Jeopardy test. :(

    Go get 'em Bird ...

    TiVO Help: Can you set something that far in advance?

    I'll tell my wife I want to watch someone from SJ on Jeopardy! and she'll go, "Douchebags for $200." She knows us all too well.
    :D

    Bird: You could win 75 Jeopardy games and beat Ken Jennings, and it couldn't beat the idea of beating Ben Stein. That Ben Stein pissed me off. He played the game so he had more experience, but then he tried to play head games with the contestants. America is Apple Pie, Mom, the New York Yankees, and quiz show hosts wanting contestants to have fun and hopefully win a lot of money. Ben Stein and Anne Robinson should not be allowed into the United States of America!

    I cannot wait for the liveblogging of Jeopardy! on April 3.

    Fucking awesone, Birdie. Nice work.

    And this Killick kid is showing some serious potential.
