I like to watch Jeopardy on TV.  For a lot of different reasons.   Alex Trebek can be a little condescending every now and again…. but that gives the show a little more umppphhh.

But what I really like about Jeopardy, are the questions and answers, of course.  I love to yell out the questions….. even when I don’t know what the heck the correct question might be.
I spout it out no matter what.

“Where is Peekskill, New York?”
“Who is King Leopold the IX?”
“What are isometric particles?”

You know the drill…..

Tonight, all three players really had a lot to be desired.  In fact…. they were terrible.  The winner only took home…. like….  $1400.  “What is Lame-O?”  The one lady couldn’t even figure out the buzzer.  She just kept trying to answer, without ringing in.

And then.  They missed some easy ones… like….
“This, is the Birthplace of Green Beans.”
And….
“In 1425, he pledged Holland to Phillip the Good.”

Oh man oh man…. I was pulling my hair out… jumping up and down…. hollering at the TV.

And then it hit me, Jeopardy-Glazed Eyes bugging out, and frothy mouth spewing out questions….. dogs cowering in the corner of the living room…..  …..  THIS….  was Friday night.

Let’s face it.  My social exploits have gotten to an incredibly low and pathetic place.
Wellllll…. such is life and getting older.

So.  Thanks for reading, but … I gotta’ cut this short  tonight.  I am going to make one of those popsicle-stick log cabins on green felt grass.  Oh so very coolio.
