So I probably won't have time to read the books. We have several at home as well, since this is our religion and studying texts is often in order.M. C.

I've got both, as well as Bob Harris' (not so much raw facts, but an interesting and probably unique approach to prepping for the show) that I'd be glad to lend out if needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756715504291908040.post-22257313667696117122007-02-20T08:45:00.000-08:002007-02-20T08:45:00.000-08:00Where were all of those X-Men questions in the Jeo...Where were all of those X-Men questions in the <I>Jeopardy!</I> games I've played over the years?<BR/><BR/>Heck, I might still be undefeated! :)SwanShadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984127381549138110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756715504291908040.post-66440663104720005852007-02-20T08:33:00.000-08:002007-02-20T08:33:00.000-08:00Actually, Tom, I put down photographer, lawyer, ad...Actually, Tom, I put down photographer, lawyer, adjunct professor and college administrator and told them I was simply overeducated and couldn't keep a job! Len didn't mention that they've called me once already, but I made the mistake of honestly filling in the form to say that a friend was doing special effects editing on Spiderman, which does disqualify me until Becky finishes in April, dammit. Even though she doesn't even work on the lot, it is a Sony picture.<BR/><BR/>I did get on the list from taking the on-line test last January and the timing (by two weeks) prevented me from retaking the test this January. Len could have, but he's a chicken. <BR/><BR/>Len also forgot to mention that he's very good at contemporary music. Since for me the music died in 1997, I've got no clue.M. C.

A few years back at San Diego, I happened to be chatting with artist Steve Leiber, when someone else he knew came up. And to my horror, I was introduced to her...since I'd recognized her name as both a relatively frequent letterhack *and* a J! researcher. <BR/><BR/>I explained how I wished it hadn't happened, and was told that such in passing at a public event meetings didn't count towards disqualification. <BR/><BR/>And yep, I'd be more than willing to go up against you on "Things Len Wrote". : -)<BR/><BR/>Good luck to Christine on getting on. Hopefully she put down "photographer" as profession rather than "lawyer"; was told a few years back that five professional categories are overrepresented in pool, making it less likely to be chosen if in one of them. Said five being lawyer, librarian, teacher, writer, and computers.<BR/><BR/>I'm still in the pool for a few more months (12 times and counting...), but due to their putting the online test up this time less than a year after the previous one, I'll then be out for a year or so unless they do another online test sooner than expected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756715504291908040.post-55973576115939820702007-02-18T12:44:00.000-08:002007-02-18T12:44:00.000-08:00Hallelujah, Brother!Carmela and I also follow the ...Hallelujah, Brother!<BR/><BR/>Carmela and I also follow the video ministry of Father Trebek.

Maybe you ought to get Mark Waid or Tom Galloway to answer that category for you.<BR/><BR/>(Of course, my one year as a member of the Black Ink Irregulars, in 2001, we got beat by the Pros, so I shouldn't talk.)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756715504291908040.post-11475750957685464482007-02-17T22:38:00.000-08:002007-02-17T22:38:00.000-08:00WOW!I always thought how cool it would be to creat...WOW!<BR/><BR/>I always thought how cool it would be to create one of those catchphrases that becomes everyday jargon (e.g. "Make My Day").
