Jeopardy!

--Emad Hajjaj, Al-Ghad (Jordan)

I took potpourri for one hundred

And then my head started to spin

--I Lost on Jeopardy!

Weird Al Yankovic

He didn't, really.

PSA:
This is shout-out for one of Ranger's most favorite people, Minstrel Boy (Stevie) of Harp and Sword, and more recently, Group News Blog. Watch him on Jeopardy! tonight, 12/17, on your local NBC affiliate.

Case you don't know him, Stevie is a Silver Star recipient, musician par excellence, master truffle maker and too many other things to mention. He is a polymath with millennia of military historical knowledge who frequently brings invaluable perspective to yer humble Ranger blog. He has written some of the most moving essays I have read on his Harp & Sword (live, though on hiatus.) In short, he is a mensch.

We hear the show will include a rivalry between SEALS and flyboys. Stevie brings lots of ammo, and does not go quietly.

CONGRATS STEVIE!

I never cheer for sports, but I cheered for you. Magnificent win. I was sure of conspiracy early on, when I was convinced every answer you didn't get was due to a millisecond handicap! How easily I fall to conspiracy.

To the next. . .
