    Always had a pet peeve about people asking you the question, "Oh you're from X (with a population of 5,000,000...or went to Somehwere State Univ that had 20,000 students or That 5A High School with a graduation class of 1,000). Did you know John Smith?" Unless it's a very small town/school, it's an incredibly stupid question.

    So are you relating your pet peeve to my prior question?

    The first known pet peeve in basketball history was printed in the Chicago Tribune in 1918, Attributed to a one Jock Maloney, Purdue basketball, who upon getting knocked to the floor by a Hoosier, and seeing his ball pass into the peach basket, wahooed, "And one."

    I don't usually explain my jokes but...you guys know I was joking, right? Well, 'old' people do watch Jeopardy, but I'm considered 'old' by two generations so I'm 'old old' so I should probably say 'old old old' for the Daytime TV watching set. I'm saying Baby Boomers are 'old'. I have good friends who are Baby Boomers but let's face it, they're old and if they voted for Trump, very confused. I'll stop using ' as it's causing way too much typing for my slowly aging hands. Back to the point, I haven't seen Jeopardy in decades. How is this show still on? Old people. I really don't think that @donkeypunch taught @Deckard arithmatick. Seems really a stretchy. I do stay pretty spry, doing my leg exercises twice a week and my face-firming exercises every morning for 32 minutes. A sign of aging is a smile where the lower teeth show more because your face slowly loses it's firmness. I've been journaling lately, and it's been a huge help straightening out my thoughts. Here's a snippet: The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it. Good lord, I love coffee. How is this stuff not illegal?

    Here are some funny Jeopardy mockings:

    He is still going. Set another record yesterday going 40/40, betting 60k on final jeopardy. He has a long way to go to catch Jennings, but he's so dominant it will take an extremely unlucky turn for him to lose. He does gamble on the double jeopardy's so that could be a weak spot, but right now its a strength.
