Birdscribe on Jeopardy - SPOILERS, SPOILERS

I've set the Tivo for 7:30. I don't care if I know how it ends...I just want to be able to see it, so I have a face to put with the posts.

 

I have a solid guess. Is this country's capital city named after an earlier president who shares the first name of Thomas Buchanan's cousin?

On a related topic, I passed the Jeopardy online test a couple of months ago and was recently invited to an in-person audition in DC next month. I'm supposed to come up with five interesting tidbits about myself for possible Alex conversation fodder. I'll definitely include a couple of work-related stories.

Trebek (reading index card): It says here that you once found yourself on the wrong side of a famed baseball figure who is usually known for his good humor.

Baltimoreguy: That’s right, Alex. Tommy Lasorda once unleashed the most vile string of obscenities I’ve ever heard because I asked him why he let Larry Walker beat the Dodgers with a home run in the bottom of the ninth instead of pitching around him.

Trebek: Really? That’s seems contrary to what we’ve always heard about his personality.

Baltimoreguy: Actually, he’s one of the biggest pricks I’ve ever met.

Trebek (moving on): And here's our returning champion, a research librarian from Pocatello, Idaho, who says she never travels without at least three of her 19 cats. Tell us about that.

 

"Three minutes to Birdscribe."

 

Baltimoreguy: Yes

 

There he is!

Sax and the city?

seriously?

 

I wish he had scrawled "Birdscribe" for his signature instead of his name.

 

Lenzy -- the spelling and the woman -- is ripe for a Julia Sweeney parody, in my opinion. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

 

Didn't get the Simpsons question..

For shame!

 

Worm wranglers?

 

Nice work pegging the DD.

Bird's kicking ass!

 

He looks poised, confident, professional, mature and well-groomed.

What's he doing on SportsJournalists.com?

 

Never would have gotten Liberia.

Nice work, Bird.
