Today's result is up on the Jeopardy! board. --Bob
Spoiler for March 24.
Yee haa! I guess Tom may be getting his wish after all. One more win and we can be pretty sure of that. I hope lb left enough room on your avatar for another digit.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

Congratulations on another big win! I hope your husband didn't mind. Did he stay back home in Baltimore? I guess you might as well go ahead and win four more, to take advantage of his extra day of babysitting.

I love the crown.ReigningJeopardyChamp wrote:My crown
I didn't want to post this picture until today because some people might have guessed I won the second day from it.
My friend Rose who stayed with me in L.A. made me a crown out of a brochure in the hotel room. Yesterday was the last game of the day, so I got to to go to bed as the reigning Jeopardy champ. I had dinner with Tom and the other three contestants from the last two games. Since I beat them all, I considered it only fair to pick up the check, and they all agreed.

And it's good to see this screen name stick around for a bit. Looking forward to a long visit

Cyberial cigar tres for Megan for winning her third game, as she now has $103,203 for three wins, and probably won this game because she wagered $4K on the second DJ! DD and got it right, giving her the lead. Well done MEgan my dear(lights MEgan's portofino). FJ! was literature for two days in a row and was a triple get: 19th century lit: this author wrote a 1889 book in which armor-clad men were playing a game of baseball, or words to that effect(MArk Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court)

Re: Retroactive good luck to Rafferbee
I haven't seen tonight's game yet... but Wednesday's game let's me plug one of my favorite, but far from well known, Edgar Allan Poe stories: "THE THOUSAND-AND-SECOND TALE OF SCHEHERAZADE.". which is not only a delight to read but decades ago when I was teaching high school physics I assigned it for homework. It's easy to find on-line if you don't have it in your personal EAP collection (here is but just one link to it: http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/schzdc.htm) and I think it is well worth reading. You can treat as almost a puzzle story, trying to figure out what Poe is talking about before looking at his footnotes to reveal the answer. I also think it is a great launching pad for any discussions on what is science - and to top it off it is very, very witty.
Again, MEGAn Kudos - and I can't wait to watch today's game!!!!!!!!

Megan's done well, and I suspect her not having any lock games so far has helped her to win

Awesome job on the victories, Megan!
But I have to say that I loved the way that you waved to the camera during the opening intro for the 3/24 show. I don't think I've ever noticed a defending champ do that, and you looked so sweet and happy! if you're that ecstatic even before topping the $100K mark, I can imagine how thrilled you became afterward. I hope there's still tons more to come

Great job Megan!!! It has been a blast to watch your shows. Excellent play. I really liked your smile on the Rugby question that you answered. What I saw in your smile was "That's the ticket!!! I got a Rugby question right!!!"

Well, no one is stopping you from betting it all even when you have lock gameReigningJeopardyChamp wrote:Most people strive for the lock game, but I like being in the lead by just a little bit so I'm forced to bet it all!
Seriously, excluding Cliff from Cheers, has anyone in the history of J! who had a lock game ever bet enough to break their lock - so that they put themselves into a possible position of losing the game? I think there have been cases where they bet so that there is a possibility of a tie - but has there been anyone who bet more than that? Maybe this is a question for the J! board.
And of couse,

And the handle needs an avatar. How about something like this?
