2011 jeopardy online test questions to get on show

video capture of west coast adult contestant jeopardy test questions 2011 -
here* is what AlSto and i did at 8pm this evening:


simultaneously elsewhere, my friend FraKa drove to wait in line overnight in one of three zip codes (90803 at fingerprintz, 90036 rumoured to be at the El Rey Theatre, 90026 at origami origami) for the 12 noon Friday ticket onsale to the 'secret' Los Angeles/Hollywood Arcade Fire show that was announced on the Twitt'r and kayrock radio station; whilst my friend BriKa watched the lakers come back from behind against the celtics in Boston; and [what did you do?].

btw please forgive the borders of the screen capture - 'twas my fault. oh, and huge thanks to Kaze and his awesome find: the almighty powerful open source streaming video capture software CamStudio !

*please note: this was NOT AlSto's nor my test. or was it?

confessions of a Jeopardy! groupie...WOOOOOO!

for AlHo and for JaHe: two funny things

this first one is from POST SECRET. it will be gone by the end of the week, so i thought i'd preserve it here...

this next one is the jeopardy contestant, LAURA HUGHES, who i looking like she wishes she was PENELOPE GARCIA (aka Kirsten Vangsness) of Criminal Minds. she choked on her second day on the show.

questions from Jeopardy's online test...or at least what we remember of them.

last night, about half a dozen of my friends and i took an online test, hoping to qualify to be on the TV show, Jeopardy. afterwards, four of us were surprised to find out that all our test questions were the same, and in the same order. we jotted down as many questions/answers as we could recall.

THEN i found the following video! awesome.
