For the first time, my father, our two tenants and I were watching Jeopardy when some jerk from Harvard was telling a dumb story about how he improperly addressed Ségolène Royal in French.  One, I don’t need to be told who the head of French Socialist Party is.  Two, I don’t care about your stupid grammar snafu, you’re going to Harvard, you can do better.  Later:

Dad: I don’t like him.
Dave: wow, that guy from Harvard’s a douche.
John: He’s a douche nozzle.
Me: I also believe him to be a douche.

Dave called him a manslut when he failed to bet enough during a Double Jeopardy answer and for the first time in a while, I felt like I was part of a family again.

Jason Shavel played Anthony Celona in Jeopardy.  I started blurting out answers but Jason turned out to be far faster at dinging in so I started shifting up my tactic to even the playing field.  I interspersed false answers with faulty logic and convinced the two of the following

  • I Love Lucy debutted in the 1920s, almost 20 years before the television was invented
  • Ronald Reagan had both George W and George HW Bush as vice presidents
  • Ronald Reagan ran as vice president to the Bull-Moose progressive Teddy Roosavelt
  • The main product of cows used by farmers is semen
  • A one lens pair of glasses is called a unicle while a one wheeled bike is a monocycle
  • Scotch is a alcohol that begins with the letter ‘M’
