Before I even read the post I was thinking about how quick everything must have happened. It seems very little time to process it all and I wonder how I would have handled it. <br /><br />You played very well.Armandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901830931354771085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054975214314470915.post-9044813306587207632012-05-26T01:17:38.893+02:002012-05-26T01:17:38.893+02:00Benjamin, I have a lot to say in reply to your com...Benjamin, I have a lot to say in reply to your comment, really, but it ties in with some of what I have been intending to say in tonight's post, so I'll leave it till then. <br /><br />I had a thought that I might actually read some Shakespeare - in the past, I've read Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, and Taming of the Shrew - but there's just not enough time for that sort of reading in the month and a half or whatever before the show. Instead, I made index cards (always with the index cards!) for each play, with the major characters and plot points. I read synopses of the plays, and hoped for the best. Luckily, the Shakespeare that came up on my show was pretty easy for me. (I was annoyed by Joel beating me to Two Gentlemen of Verona.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704730807275255524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054975214314470915.post-51025401561137603052012-05-26T01:08:30.885+02:002012-05-26T01:08:30.885+02:00I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, particularly on the Cuban missile crisis question, I had a feeling it was October, but I wasn't sure enough to negate the present they'd given me by both getting it wrong. I figured it was better to get the moderate reward without any risk than to try for the "free" money.<br /><br />It was so like me to spill water on myself. When I told Morgan about that, he wasn't surprised at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704730807275255524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054975214314470915.post-17567303400228797952012-05-25T20:44:27.385+02:002012-05-25T20:44:27.385+02:00I've been trying for years to get on the show....I've been trying for years to get on the show. (Have you seen "White Men Can't Jump"? That's me. Rosie Perez, not the dudes.) So, your posts are fascinating to me: So much I always wondered about - like how long between shows and figuring out the wagering, etc. Did you read much Shakespeare beforehand? I was an English major but know almost no Shakespeare so I would concentrate on that simply in order not to embarrass myself when it came up. Seems like knowing the Presidents of the U.S. would help. I thought the comment about Wheel of Fortune in your previous post was hysterical. Every day I rail against the money won on Wheel - "That's four days' winnings on Jeopardy!"

I also like the few times when Joel and Julie gave wrong answers and you stood fast. Good strategy.<br />I was at home playing along, mostly lost in the opera, roman and 2B(?) category.Armandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901830931354771085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054975214314470915.post-76205992055334789032012-05-25T15:34:46.991+02:002012-05-25T15:34:46.991+02:00I saw it in my email but it wasn't here when I...I saw it in my email but it wasn't here when I came to blogger.<br /><br />Yes, today's post will answer that question. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704730807275255524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054975214314470915.post-703304202527577252012-05-25T15:30:57.646+02:002012-05-25T15:30:57.646+02:00No. I don't know what happened to the first on...No. I don't know what happened to the first one then! You must've seen it or you wouldn't have known I asked what day you taped...? Anyway I had also said I for one hope you don't "shut up already." And I was wondering whether you watched the taping the next day, but you'll probably answer that in today's post! :-)Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508742959515718492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054975214314470915.post-41463292539641346442012-05-25T15:06:13.822+02:002012-05-25T15:06:13.822+02:00I guess you deleted your original comment?
