I passed the qualifying test, but never got the call...Good luck.When in doubt always answer "Henrik Ibsen"
The online test?The year before I was on I had passed the 'brick and mortar' test down in Culver City. Never got called either. That was also the year the Jennings hack cheated his way through a bunch of games. I think his run screwed up the contestant pool.I passed the qualifying test, but never got the call...
Did I ever tell you the story about my buddy's horrible ex-wife calling him on the way home from the doctor?
Sorry to hear about your troubles finding receptacles for your seed.Had a sorta date last night. Supercute 23 year old. 4'11" spinner with a perfect rack. Deal closed.
no, I did the "brain bus" test when it came through San Diego. written test followed by the mock game--killed it on the mock game.The online test?The year before I was on I had passed the 'brick and mortar' test down in Culver City.

is this a shecky green joke I'm not remembering?
I took this thing like a year or two ago and completely freaked out for some reason. I think I was expecting to know more answers and after I was clueless on the first two I just panicked and the timer became like that timer from that movie where when the timer runs out you die. I think I answered Thomas Jefferson for the last four questions and I know at least one of them was asking for a river in South America. This was basically me.
They won't come out and say it but there is sort of a quota system when it comes to contestants. They do whatever they can to try to make the pool as diverse as possible. For whatever reason the majority of people that try out AND pass the test are white dudes, over 30, probably some sort of professional or at least with a decent job.Let's say they've got 100 people that have passed the test and didn't crap the bed during the mock game. The majority of them are going to fit the profile above. The rest of the pack is composed of women, non-white folk, older people, younger people etc. They're going to try to bring in as many of the minority group as possible.no, I did the "brain bus" test when it came through San Diego. written test followed by the mock game--killed it on the mock game.The online test?The year before I was on I had passed the 'brick and mortar' test down in Culver City.

yeah, that's pretty obvious. plus the year I did it I think that even if it was just flat out random the number of qualifiers versus the number of actual spots was like 150-1.They won't come out and say it but there is sort of a quota system when it comes to contestants.

Interested. What's your plan? I'd have to weasel out of an HOA meeting and a work dinner, but I don't really care that much for my neighbors or job. Need to get Kevzilla and cosjobs involved.
Buddy of mine, we'll call him Brad, was married to this heinous witch of a woman for about 10 years. Right after the split she moves in with this dude she works with. A few months later she calls him on the way home from the doctor. It was Brad's weekend with their son.Witch: Hey Brad? Is there any way you can kid Junior another day?Brad: No problem, what's up?Witch: I did something to my neck. It's really stiff and it hurts. I'm driving back from the doctor now.Brad: Yeah, sure.Witch: Thank you. I should be able....About that time the dude she was shacking up with, who was driving the car, apparently wasn't driving carefully enough.Witch: WATCH THE ### #### BUMPS! MY ####ING NECK HURTS! Brad said it took everything he had not to just start busting up into the phone. Later on he told me that that was the moment he finally realized he was so much happier without her.
Yeah if you watch the show you'll notice that one of the last things they want is a panel consisting of Chad the lawyer vs Mitch the accountant vs Greg the teacher.yeah, that's pretty obvious. plus the year I did it I think that even if it was just flat out random the number of qualifiers versus the number of actual spots was like 150-1.They won't come out and say it but there is sort of a quota system when it comes to contestants.

No plan, just dinner and drinks. I have an early flight Friday so cna't get too crazy. Would hate to take you away from your HOA meeting.
I have a meeting that will be over by seven.
Sounds hip. I'll clear it with the home scheduler. What part of town are you staying in?And even if I have to make my HOA board meeting, I should be done by around 7.
I can see that. I have those moments a lot. Unfortunately, I have to communicate with her because of our daughter. I'm not exactly wishing for her rebirth...

Sometimes they give you a cool Jeopardy pen to keep. IIRC it's like a Bic Stic.
I'm north of town but from my short time here it seems you can get just about anywhere in 10 minutes. I wouldn't mind hitting up something downtown.
Pass on my thanks, but I wouldn't mind meeting complete strangers in a public place.
And apparently Donkey Punch is probably NOT the answer.
Whatever. What about bbq? I had Stubbs last time I was here but wouldn't mind trying something different.
Iron Works is the only other BBQ place downtown I would take a guest.
oh come onI took this thing like a year or two ago and completely freaked out for some reason. I think I was expecting to know more answers and after I was clueless on the first two I just panicked and the timer became like that timer from that movie where when the timer runs out you die.

Sounds cool.Lamberts is kinda fancy BBQ but I like it. Iron Works is more traditional like Stubbs. Haven't been there in a while, but I've always enjoyed it.

Hmm. I might have been there about the same time. The Clue Crew was there when I took the test on the set, sitting in the audience seats. They'd filmed the Jennings episodes but hadn't aired any yet, so they could only say "something big" was on the horizon for Jeopardy soon. At least I know that while I didn't get on the show, no one else being tested then won an episode against his buzzsaw.
Where do you live and how old is it?
Chicago suburbs. Fridge can't be more than 10 years old.
Man, are you ever gonna be disappointed.
Some fridges only have one thermostat regulated by the fridge portion and not the freezer, so during the winter it thinks it's cold enough, and anything in the freezer will thaw.So just be careful about putting too much meat in the freezer right away.
Just comparing it to what I would prepare for you. You are already here? You're up north? ROund Rock north? I can definitely help you find some really good restaurants.
"Inferior food"? Come on, this is Austin. I keep hearing about all the great food here, and so far I haven't found that to be incorrect.
A run to Salt Lick would be fun. Generally bbq is a lunch food, but Salt Lick is an exception. Only prob with them is the only good location is out SW of town and one person would need to be sober to drive back.
Screw it then, I'm out. Are you still coming up to the NW this month?
Does not compute.
