Today’s Jeopardy! Category is GRASS.
4 pts: In a memorable episode of “Northern Exposure,” Chris the DJ is fired for mentioning the possibility of this “Leaves of Grass” poet’s homosexuality.
Who is Walt Whitman?
8 pts: This 20th century German poet, playwright, and sculptor’s most famous work is The Tin Drum
Who is Herr Grass?
If LFHP's answer isn't James Blunt, I will be highly disappointed.
12 pts: This largest member of the grass family can grow up to 3-4 feet per day, depending on conditions.
What is the ganga? (Smothered with Miracle Gro and injected with both the clear and the cream.)
16 pts: Erma Bombeck title which best fits this category.
The Grass is Always Greener over the Septic Tank.
My mom used to have all the Bombeck books. I never understood what this title meant, but a septic tank sounded like something really boss. Ha!
20 pts: Written by Curly Putnam, Jr. and covered by a multitude of singers in pop and country, many people don’t realize it’s being sung from the perspective of a man sentenced to execution. Sweet Mary!
What is The Green Green Grass of Home?
This was a staple in my Dad's band (I think it was a law they they had to do every Porter Wagoner song known to man). A more boring song I never heard. Long Black Veil always being the exception to that statement, of course.
Since I'm Fanny, I can put down some random number instead of a percentage. Mrk says so. So I will bet 5986045733. Or the amount I've gotten today, whichever is smaller.
Hopefully I put in enough commentary so that mrkelley will know this is really me. Ha!
