Ha! Soy Bomb!

Yeah, I have no problem eating an organ just because it's associated with urine. And everyone (almost) has eaten hot dogs or other sausages with "natural casings", i.e. animal intestines, which are associated with another unappetizing by-product of digestion.

Nope, not just a Guam thing. Mom used to do the same here in the Midwest.

The local (Florida) Jamaican market has goats' heads in the freezer section — and you can get goat's head soup in some of the small Jamaican take-outs.

If you ever have the good fortune to eat the kind of chicken you're grandmother used to make, that's been raised on a farm, out in the sun and fresh air, where its feet actually touched the ground and it got to eat the plants and bugs it was meant to eat — as opposed to the bland industrialized chicken we're used to —…

Yep (and which I didn't realize either until just googling the situation).

Freshwater eels may be farm raised but they are not farm bred. There has been very little success in getting eels to breed in captivity in a laboratory, and no success in getting them to breed in captivity at anything approaching the levels needed to support commercial needs. Consequently, eel farming requires a…

I assumed these students (especially the math/science types) would know wagering strategy inside out. After seeing their mysterious wagers I kept wondering if I was missing something; and that they, in their youthful brilliance, had formulated some next-level wagering strategies that were beyond us mere mortals.

I was impressed with Julia. When I saw that she was matched up against Lilly and Alex, I thought that she was going to get run over — then she manages to take the lead going into FJ.

I just checked out your site and have to say I'm very impressed. It's the best alternative I've seen so far.

Your post reflects my feelings exactly. I had always thought the commenters on IMDb message boards were, for the most part, not only courteous but also quite knowledgeable. But then, like you, I'm a big TCM fan and most of the movies I look up on IMDb are at least 30 years old. I was totally unaware of the level of…

I thought the judges were a bit generous when they accepted Julia's response of "knotted" for the video clue showing a picture of knotty pine paneling.

It looked like Trebek was asking semi-finalist Gary Tse that very question regarding either his $1,845 DD3 wager or his $0 FJ wager (which, when it was revealed, elicited an audible groan from the audience).

I answered Whig but hesitated because it just seemed too obvious for a FJ.

That's what I thought. During regular play, it seems like it's assumed that the letters in quotes need to start the word unless Trebek adds further clarification. I think the judges cut the students a little slack.

Oops. I'll just show myself out.

Not to be a pedant (which of course means that's exactly what I'm about to be), but usually we say font when we mean typeface. They're not interchangeable. See http://v1.jontangerine.com/…

The horror.

Was gonna insert one of my favorite Mark Twain quotes: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."
