Jeopardy!
I am a competitive person. I even devise ways to compete against myself (sort of). Years ago, while spending my Summer at my grandmother's house, I devised a way I could compete against myself while watching Jeopardy. I would give myself a point for every correct answer and then ten points for Final Jeopardy. Then I would keep track of my scores from day to day.We have company right now. One such guest is Val, a High School English teacher who I have the privilege of hiring each year to serve as the Summer Program Director at PMBC. She is competitive as well.
When we discovered that my wife had DVR'd about nine episodes of Jeopardy, we decided that we would watch each show and use my point system to compete against each other.
The game is over. Val won, 5 games to 4. I hate losing, especially to some literature-saturated-test-grading-English-teaching-girl.
Though she may have won this round, at least I can say that I was the one who knew that Benjamin Franklin invented the bi-focals that allow her to read her Tennyson and Byron. History vs. Literature.....bring it on.

the best is watching jeopardy when its the younger childrens tour or high school and laughing when the kids are wrong. it makes me feel better, "common Jenny *8 years old* do you live under a rock? clearly its newtons THIRD law, yea dumby!"
maybe im a little harsh but its fun making fun of them, those kids are so no normal. I want to tell them to go outside and play with a ball. sometimes there hobbies are things like "Studying maps" or "tagging plants in there backyard" bunch-a-wierdies!
Have a great week Pastor. Hope the new baby is doing well.

Brie's comment was fabulous. Weirdies, hah hah.
Anyway, Jeopardy is the best game show ever, most likely. 18th Century Correspondance for 1000, Alex.
And History vs. Literature, you say. Now that is a tough one. A tough one, indeed.
