Ah...MR - great to see that nothing has changed since I've been away.

And I'm glad to hear that the seduction was unsuccessful.

Perhaps it is a slow seduction. Today you eat bread she baked in her oven, tomorrow .... who knows

Habby,

Shouldn't you write:

What is it I'm training for?

Apparently. Habby told us about it like three months ago

Weird, just a few days ago I was wondering when it would air.

Tell us about the training!

Are you downloading encyclopedias directly into your brain?

Do you have headphones on 24-7?

are you eating brain food?

I think the best way to train for Jeopardy! is to ritualistically devour the brain and soul of Alex Trebek.

Habby could eat brain food. That would be like transubstantiation of Alex Trebek. Not nearly as good as the real thing

Unfortunately no. This is a common misconception, but you basically have to know a little bit of everything.

And to everyone else, I'm not going to go eating anybodies brain.

To be quite honest, the more I learn about the show itself the less fun it becomes. See the show was invented in the 60's following the game show scandals in which contestants on prior game shows were fed answers by the shows staff, all to make sure ratings stayed high and the advertising dollars flowed in. Following all this hufflepuff Merv Griffins wife suggested that he create a game show where you actually give the contestants the answer and they have to come up with the response, hence the reason you have to respond in question form.
Also to make the show legit they keep things very secret and private, contestants aren't allowed anywhere near Alex or anywhere on set he may have been, things like that to prevent any sort of communicating between people associated with the show and any potential contestants. Hence me not wanting to associate myself with eating anyones brains, as the chances are slim anyone associated with the show itself would see this, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Then again the online contestant test is in January, and from what I've read, the fastest I could possible be contacted again is in April for the in-person contestant test followed by 'the call' in June to tape in July(when the show starts taping). That's all if everything goes perfectly for me, which I doubt would happen, my goal is to get a tape date max 2 years from now. That is though, if I make it onto the first season I try out for, which is of course my goal.


tl;dr version:
The show is super secretive and I don't want to say anything funny that could kill my chances of getting on no matter how low it is someone related to the show reads it.


However, I still like to consider myself a bit of a fun guy. And no, I'm not about to make a mushroom joke.

Wirte up how you will be introduced on the show! ...and here from Flint, Michigan is Mr. ......

What do you do besides unicycling? Are you a World Champion Unicyclist? Is your effort to win at Jeopardy an attempt to compensate for not being a World Champion Unicyclist?

First it was Jerrick and "no duct tape", now it's you and "no mushroom jokes".

It's no wonder MR is dying.

And when it's finally done, when MR is officially dead?
Gilby and "hewhoisnevernamed" will stuff it into a dustbin full of toadstools.

And we'll know it is full of toadstools cause there won't be much room on top!
