Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby...
seawolf17 May 21 2009 12:18 AM |
Well, not yet. But for the second time, I've been invited to the next step -- the contestant auditions in NYC.
|
themetfairy May 21 2009 01:24 AM |
Good luck!

Nice - that's a real achievement just getting that far. I took the test on line and I felt stupid for a week.

Repeat after me - pose each response as a question.

Y'know what you can do to really screw with their minds at the audition, answer each in the form of a question but do so with incorrect terms. Like: - He pitched the World Series winner for the 1960 Mets Where is Jerry Koosman? or - It's the national color of the Netherlands How is Orange? All they require is that it be in the form of a question so they still have to give it to you. I'd do it and then sue them for fraud if they don't let you in.
|
seawolf17 May 23 2009 02:53 AM |
I actually tried that last time a bit. (It apparently didn't help.) I buzzed in with the sorta-correct response "What 'choo talkin' about, Willis?" in the category Sitcoms.

Help Wolfie brush up his Shakespeare. 1) 38 plays, 154 sonnets. 2) The first folio came out in 1623, published by his former colleagues, and had 36 plays. 3) Wifey's name: Anne Hathaway. Seriously. 4) His company for most of his career was called "Lord Chambelain's Men," named for their patron. When King James ascended the throne, they became "The King's Men" under his patronage. 5) Most lines by a Shakespearean woman: Portia (Merchant of Venice). I think she's also the only female character who leads her play in lines. Her most quoted lines are The quality of mercy is not strain'd.It reads like something from St. Paul, which gives rise to the supspicion that Shakespeare might have been among the compilers of the King James Bible. 6) There's only two sonnets they'd ask you about, and, of those two, you only need to konw the first few lines. Sonnet 18:7) To thine own self be true is spoken by Polonius in Hamlet. 8) "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" is spoken by Dick in Henry VI Part II 9) Richard II opens his own play with "Now is the Winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York." He's mocking the guy who got the throne instead of him and can be used to mock politicians who people glow over during the honeymoon period like President Obama. 10) Review Hamlet's soliliquy, Henry V's St. Crispin's Day Speech, and the Witches' incantation from MacBeth, and you're golden.

Sadly, Wheel tapes on Jeopardy's off-weeks, so I don't know. That said, I'd guess no.
Yeah, they definitely frown on that. I didn't even remember to unbutton my jacket on stage.

Sandy was a state senator, though. I think she was the only justice in her time on the Supreme Court bench that had served in elective office.

Didn't Bob Woodward get a question wrong on Jeopardy about the authors of All The President's Men? I seem to think that that happened, but I'm not sure.

I googled that and found a bit from Anderson Cooper about the time he was on the show , he mentions how Woodward missed a question on Watergate..... http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/16/jeopardy/ that's quite an interesting read from Cooper

Frayed Knot Oct 16 2009 05:59 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
The only thing I remember about the few 'Celebrity Jeopardy' episodes I saw was that the questions are markedly easier than those in the regular shows.
|
Centerfield Oct 16 2009 10:12 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
I can't even imagine how hard it must be to 1) answer those questions 2) do it quickly 3) not think about how your friends and family will taunt you about stupid answers for the rest of your life.
|
Frayed Knot Oct 16 2009 11:23 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
That said, if Wolf can't answer the Final Jeopardy question and is hopelessly out of it anyway he's just gotta write 'Who is Hubie Brooks?' on the screen -- I don't care if the category is French Impressionist Painters.
|
Edgy MD Oct 16 2009 11:37 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
Well, I'd at least expect him to go with "Who is Paquette?" or "Qui est Boisclair?" for that one.

The Daily Double question under the 'I Went To UCLA' was 'UCLA alum, Kirsten Gillebrand replaced this United States Senator' The other question clearly stated 'Former Portland Trailblazer center...' I mean, fine if you want give him Sandra Day O'Connor but not knowing that he didn't play for the Blazers?

New York (specifically Long Island) representing this week
Now, if I'm a betting man, I'd say the smartest looking person here who is not named Seawolf17 is definitely Ms. Silverstein, and I hope you didn't match up agaisnt her initially. Jody Allen is right out as far as he clearly lacks the sort of Jeopardy! intellect to get you through the day and light up the cocktail party circuit at night, but I suspect he's taking some sort of PEDs to make him faster on the plunger than anybody else. Ryan Swaim, I asssume, disappeared from the set after getting punched in the face in the green room. Everybody knew Todd Ryan did it, but nobody ratted him out because you all secretly admired Todd and wished it was you doing the punching. I'm also guessing that there was also a little green room gossip going around about Todd and Shawna Brandle. I'm right about all of this, aren't I?
|
metirish Nov 30 2009 04:03 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
Without even reading your pbp I had Ryan Swaim pegged as a bit of a prick....reminds me of John Kreese from the Karate Kid.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 30 2009 04:05 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
Whatever happens ypou at least have to beat Smug Shawna and her 13 years of university. I'll take Shut Your Face for $500.
|
Edgy MD Nov 30 2009 04:11 PM Re: Seawolf's on Jeopardy... baby... |
Shawna has taught at Hofstra and Manhattan College. With the RVC thing, I can't help but feel a --- you know --- connection. And she teaches in the small but legendary MC Peace Studies program. So my heart may feel some two-way pulling if a heated Seawolf-Jasper battle breaks out.

Poor ruling by the judges regarding the kid's misspelling of the correct answer. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered since the winner set a one day record for Jeopardy Kids. Still, the judges were pretty harsh on young Thomas.
