    For real?

  2. Dan Collins says:

    I’m not saying it wasn’t a set up, though, because . . . you know what those Canadians are like.

    Trebek [with feigned shock]: No . . . nonono. Is that what they teach you at school in Utah?”

    Chuck: Please frame that in the form of an answer, Alex.

    Actually, I made that last sentence up.

    Syndicated tv has more better commercial recall than other forms of the tv. Like little sponges, these viewers. Of course, it a lot skews female. But still, I think about this sometimes when I think about how pernicious and stupid memes like second hand smoke or global warming get a foothold. Recall doesn’t mean buy-in of course, but syndicated tv viewers really do want to believe I think. I think mostly this is because watching tv in the daytime correlates strongly with emptiness. These are thoughts occasioned by what is a hoe? Alex while I wait for a phone call.

  4. Dan Collins says:

    I think it would have been humaner to ask, “Who is a hoe?”

  5. Dan Collins says:

    I’m just relieved it wasn’t “What is a spade?” I mean, the guy’s from UTAH, fercryinoutloud.

    Intaanetto Hi-Ho!

    The three or four seconds before Chuck buzzed in stretched out like the edge of a knife, as Connery’s mind went blank.

  8. ruddiger says:

    Ah, Dan beat me to the spade line. And only by 11 hours. So close.

  9. McGehee says:

    Oh, a rake.

  10. cranky-d says:

    If McGehee hadn’t chimed in I wouldn’t have known the correct answer.

  11. Sdferr says:

    That guy Ken is one of their all-time champions I think as in he made a seriously long run of wins on that show.

  12. McGehee says:

    Cranky, I only got it by watching the YouTube. Once upon a time I would have known it, but I think I’ve been hanging out with a veritable cornucopia of bad influences.

    Not sure where…

  13. ccoffer says:

    I thought it was something more obscure.
