I've had good luck on dates with girls who enjoy 50 Shades and didn't get high and mighty about it. That was the point of that.

I had the inverse happen; I had a few dates with a gorgeous, but not very bright, girl who decided she couldn't see me anymore because I "read too much," which is to say that I continued to read after college.

Me (on a date in 2008): What kind of music do you listen to?
Date: I listen to anyone who plays at Rockfest (annual meth distribution/tooth decay convention disguised as a music festival in Kansas City) and I love, love, love, LOVE Nickelback.
Me (mentally): I'm only still here because they have my debit card at the bar.

I go to bed pretty early to be up at 5:30 to get to my classroom every day, but if this happened I would become so sleep-deprived from my refusal to miss a single episode. Funniest man on the planet!

Wasn't aware of that. I'd stopped watching in about 2003 or so, but I signed up for WWE Network for nostalgia (and ended up checking out some of the stuff that I'd missed in the intervening years). Couldn't really understand Jeff Hardy for most of it.

Wally Pfister? I hardly Wally know her!

I can't tell from the picture if Jeff Hardy actually died of an overdose or not.

I think, as far as Airborne Toxic Event goes, the far better "seeing an ex hook up with someone else" song is "Sometime Around Midnight." Such a great song.

Right; I remember in my last episode, she came to me during the commercial break before Double Jeopardy! and said, and I quote, "Justin, you don't have money. Get money."

Yeah, that contract scared the crap out of me.

This. Highlight of my life (until my son is born):

Haha, thanks. Definitely the best experience I've had, and the gift that keeps on giving…sorry I can't say that I saw your episode; once I got back from LA watching the show had lost its magic.

RIght; I know for the online test they said that they tried not to have (or at least publicize) a "minimum" to get. Or, at least, that's what the contestant producers told us, which is only a small sliver of what goes on behind the game board.

I don't know that there's a set "number" to get right…they didn't tell us what our scores were for that reason. I think it involves a lot of complicated stuff beyond scores, like viewer demographics and such.

2012 Teachers Tournament finalist; I agree that the tapings are a bit more easygoing…when you're not behind the podium and feeling under immense pressure to double (or more) your annual salary in a day…

Yeah, just like the real deal, that light that comes on just becomes an instinctive trigger…hit it as soon as you see that and you're golden. Onstage it's a set of lights on either side of the game board that does the same trick.

You better check yourself before you Trebek yourself.

Not going to lie, I once dreamed I was eating at Los Pollos Hermanos and was deeply depressed to wake up and learn this was not a thing.

Unrelated, but M-I-Z!

I nearly crashed my car several times listening to Time Bobby 2. I don't think I've ever seen/heard anything, except Superego live with PFT, that was anywhere near as funny.
