Don’t search Twitter for “Jeopardy” and read through an hour’s worth of tweets unless you want to see a lot of people being genuinely stupid.
I saw far too many “Jeopardy is fixed” tweets… because the Final Jeopardy question was “Sports and the Media” and Jelisa, the sports writer, won the show.
Right. It’s fixed. Or maybe, those other two dudes are complete fucking noobs.
The answer, “On Feb. 8, 2010, the major headline in this city read, “AMEN! AFTER 43 YEARS, OUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED” might be one of the easiest I’ve ever seen.
OK. Fine. Not everyone is a sports fan. That Roger dude is a PhD computer science nerd, not your typical sports fan. But THIS ISSSSSSSSS Jeopardy! They were being tested on an event that happened less than a year ago! An event that made headlines around the world - not just sports headlines - as an occasion to celebrate the turn-around and recovery of a great city. That’s not “fixed.” That’s common sense. It doesn’t take a genius, or a sports writer, to know that the Super Bowl - arguably the most publicized sporting event on the planet - happens the first week of February, every year. And yet, you think that because they essentially asked the contestants “Hey dude, who won the super bowl this year?” it was all a setup? That’s just fucked up.
She won fair and square, fueled by an intense final minute of Double Jeopardy in which she significantly closed the gap between herself and Roger. I guess you’re also gonna tell me that they fed her the question “What are the Lacrimal Ducts?” (Seriously… that was some impressive shit.)
She’s a woman and she’s got a brain and she took down goliath and it was awesome and you can all take your conspiracy theories and shove them right up your asses.

A lot more people will be happy about Jelisa’s win than will be sad about Roger’s loss. Just as nature intended.
Chicago?!

GPOYW: “I’m HOW Old?” Edition
Thank you, everyone, for all of the birthday wishes on Facebook and Twitter or via text. You guys have made my day, save for the constant reminders that I’m one year closer to requiring a special anti-aging cream for my neck.
HAPPY I’llBeInMyBunkBIRTH DAY!

Super Bowl Aftermath (via BansheeWFU)
So the Sabres’ season ended last night and I’m about ready to go all J-Money on a table’s worth of food.
I won’t, however, be making out with a Ryan Miller figurine¹.
¹ Mostly because I don’t own one.
Jelisa is a first-ballot Twitter Hall-of-Fame inductee. Everything from this point forward is just padding her stats.
Jelisa, I’m so sorry.
:-(
I hope he’s OK.
Cavity Search
“Do you floss?” he asked, pulling his paw out of my mouth so I could reply.
“Religiously,” I said, wiping at my lip with the bottom of the bib.
“Every day?”
“No, Christmas and Easter.”
He sighed deeply, which was disappointing. That was comedy gold, Tooth Man, GOLD.
“You’ve got a significant cavity in your number thirty molar, which is contributing to the inflammation and discomfort of your gingiva.”
“My gingiva is inflamed?”
He nodded.
“I should’ve worn a longer skirt.”
Nothing.
I’m not sure how many of you keep up with J-Money’s other blog, but if you don’t then you’re seriously missing out. Head on over to http://www.thetypingmakesmesoundbusy.com/ and catch up on the awesomeness.
I noticed this a little while ago.
Oh, what’s that? You ran the Boston Marathon with a busted up achilles tendon? Oh yeah? Well look at me winning the Tumblarity Marathon with a busted up talent gland. Suck on that, Castrodale!
But no, seriously, this tumblarity shit gets stupider every day.
Happy birthday to J-Money!
Bobby was 38 when he finally caught his big break. You’re way ahead of schedule.
Keep your eyes on the prize!
