They found out he was cheating and they told him to lose or be arrested.

I have all the evidence I need for this theory, which is to say none.

why all the media attention about james donating to a pancreatic cancer charity in alex's honor?

He donated a thousand dollars. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. He made 2.46 MILLION and donated a measly thousand bucks.


(OK, technically it was $1,019.14; why i have no idea)

No idea what, although October 19, 1914 was the battle of Ypres, a military engagement that would change the face of crossword puzzles for over a century.

Tonight's FJ was about a '70s album and I thought it was really easy, but all three contestants blew it. I guess I'm old.

Rolling Stone said this 1976 album had “the best & worst tendencies of L.A.-situated rock” & was an “unflattering portrait of the milieu”

"I was doing so well. And my numbers went down to the equivalent of a normal human being who does not have pancreatic cancer. So we were all very optimistic. And they said, 'Good, we're gonna stop chemo, we'll start you on immunotherapy,'" Trebek explained.

But then he lost 12 pounds in a week and his numbers went higher than they were when he was first diagnosed.

"So, the doctors have decided that I have to undergo chemo again and that's what I'm doing."

He’s a quiet assassin. All of the sudden you look up and he’s leading by $10k.
