It's a shame that garment hasn't fallen victim to a dry-cleaning accident.

Uhhhhhh …….

Well, okay then …. fucking …. goddamn it …. So what we're left with are two songs you probably won't be familiar with, the two from the 1991 episode of AMS, right? Well, oookaaaayyy …. I didn't want to have to do this, but you are leaving me no choice, no choice at all ….

I suspect you'll be getting at least one more upvote on your post, from DDB9000, when he sees it tonight. He made the same comment just a day or two ago, praising Keilar and lamenting the certainty that Wolf-losingest-contestant-in-Jeopardy!-history-Blitzer is bound to return, eventually.
