Opal should try out for “Jeopardy!”

I know that feeling, Opal.

Way to go Opal!

I’m just happy I know who Vivian Vance is.

“Who are Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle?” That was a Final Jeopardy answer that I knew and Ken Jennings didn’t. Makes me a super genius.

I had to google.

One lies, and the other one swears to it.

I wondered why you posted her picture on Andy Capp and Ballard Street.I guess I have to stop reading my favorites in alphabetical order.

I always liked Ethel and Fred better than Desi and Lucy.

I’ve read that Viv and Bill Frawley severely disliked each other—which may be why they did those characters so well.

TEMPLO S.U.D.I think she is too old to be permitted to compete. They once had a separate “Senior’s Tournament” in which clues tended toward WW-II period trivia, but “the coveted 18-35 age group” had no idea what was being discussed – like I do with the heavy preponderance of rock group and cable TV questions now.

HA! TOTALLY lived out this strip the other day!! Of course, yesterday was a question that all three of the contestants answered right and I didn’t know. So I guess in a way, my victory has been cancelled out … For the record, I don’t know Vivian Vance. Good work, Opal!

Herrweh, I’ve read that we’re not dead until all the paperwork is done.

Maybe she was a trophy wife

You’re not dead until your alumni assoc stops sending appeals for money. My father-in-law died 20 yrs ago and still receives alumni mail in spite of our notifying the alumni assoc.

The unwitting accomplice to Lucy’s hair-brained schemes.

i know the feeling opal. i’d love to go on that show but i’d never be fast enough with that buzzer/ or remember to say the answers as questions

My favourite quiz show was “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” (UK)

Check out ‘The Great Race’ for Viv in a much better role

Many times In final Jeopardy when they got it wrong and I knew it…doesn’t matter because I would not get past the first round..

I got home from work one night and our dog was jumping about, running through the house. My wife told him to calm down. Coming to my dog’s defense, I said, “Can you blame him? He’s happy to see me.” She asked if I wanted her to run around the house like a maniac when I got home from work. I told her “No, but I wouldn’t mind it if she wagged her tail once in a while.”

Someday someone will be asked a question on Jeopardy to which the answer will be “Who or what is a Kardashian?” And no one will know the answer. I hope I’m still alive when that happens.
