1/27/2009 7:53:09 PM

that was fun.... i know i answered at least 20 correct

1/27/2009 8:11:58 PM

holy fucking shit

the rhyme time one pissed me off

after it buzzed i just yelled SINGLE JINGLE

1/27/2009 8:13:47 PM

damn man, some of those were hard

1/27/2009 8:14:51 PM

shit was hard

1/27/2009 8:15:06 PM

I am so pissed at a couple that I know I missed.

Felt like I might have missed 10 or so.

grrrrrrrrrr

1/27/2009 8:15:09 PM

i did moderately better than last year.

honestly, it's a lot easier taking the test in person (and not online)

1/27/2009 8:15:53 PM

oh i def missed >10

whats crazy is that you won't ever know your score

and whats even crazier is that its all random selection anyways...

1/27/2009 8:16:07 PM

they don't do in-person tests at all anymore, do they?

1/27/2009 8:17:32 PM

i thought so, but maybe i'm wrong...it's been a few years since i did it in person.

it was nice, because you just had to do better than maybe 80% of the people in the testing session, and then you got to play a fake round of jeopardy. do well enough on that, and they call you up


with online, i presume you have to do better than a whole boatload of people before getting the second round of testing

shit

i could smoke some fools in some live in-person jeopardy

quiz bowl style

but you can't just throw a clue out there from a category that trebek would explain on-show and expect me to grab on at first

1/27/2009 8:20:31 PM

i feel VERY CONFIDENT!!


i'll be seeing you soon, Alex.

1/27/2009 8:24:04 PM

Dammit, wish I'd known about this ahead of time.

1/27/2009 9:07:09 PM

i signed up yesterday but totally fucking forgot

damnit

1/27/2009 9:08:15 PM

shit fuck

I would have been on this!

1/27/2009 9:08:41 PM

I would love to be the asshole on that show who makes everybody think "Really? That guy?"

if you're signed up, just take it tomorrow at 8pm central time?

1/27/2009 9:18:24 PM

yeah i think i will (if i don't forget again)

1/27/2009 9:19:02 PM

registered way too late

1/27/2009 9:19:26 PM

I'm going to take the central time zone test tomorrow. I'm going to ace the shit out of that thing. I pwn ass at Jeopardy!

1/27/2009 9:21:54 PM

i don't.

1/27/2009 9:22:34 PM

How long did this take? I have to work tomorow.

1/27/2009 9:34:26 PM

i finished it in 9 minutes

i wonder if i can take the central test even if i took the eastern test

1/28/2009 12:37:12 AM

^^there are 50 questions, and you get up to 15 seconds per question, so the longest it can take you is 12.5 minutes

1/28/2009 12:39:36 AM

Ah cool I signed up but went to the game......gonna do this tomorrow

1/28/2009 1:06:36 AM

I remember when they came to State, I was one of the last 20 or so candidates out of more than a thousand. I missed a test to go through all those tryouts.

Sadly, I am not photogenic, and probably wasn't as smart as whatever asshole ended up actually representing us.

1/28/2009 1:20:42 AM

I think you're very smart and attractive.

1/28/2009 3:00:37 AM

woodfoot, also go out for who wants to be a millionaire. my sister was on the show and said its a pretty easy process if you are smart and can talk about random shit in front of a camera

1/28/2009 8:12:33 AM

so when do you find out if you made it to the next round?

1/28/2009 8:57:48 AM

It says that they can call you at any point within the next year.
