Galapagos with Trebek?
Jeopardy is sponsoring a contest where 25 people can win a trip to the Galapagos Islands. WITH ALEX FUCKING TREBEK.

Am I the only one who thinks this would be AWESOME? ? I've been a big Trebek fan since I was old enough to watch and comprehend Jeopardy. Going to Galapagos would be really cool, what with Darwin doing a lot of research there and the like.

Re: Galapagos with Trebek?
Is Trebek currently with or without the moustache? I've decided that I am only a Trebek fan when he has a moustache.

Without, I believe. He could probably grow it in 5 minutes, though.

He's been without a mustache for so long, it's hard to remember him with one.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that their trial seperation might actually end in divorce. So sad. I hope the children will be alright.

Re: Galapagos with Trebek?
Yeah cool, this guy sounds like a little before my time, I've heard of but never seen this show before. I do however, dislike the idea of Galapagos Islands being used as a holiday destination for conservationist reasons. In fact I think it was National Geographic article that published the dangers the Galapagos Islands faced because of tourism, and they are sponsoring this event. Damn your hypocrisy, NG!

I just envision getting shitfaced with Trebek and then riding a giant turtle around the island.
Fucking awesome.

Not before your time, all the way through your time. He's been hosting Jeopardy for 25 years or so.Sahan wrote:Yeah cool, this guy sounds like a little before my time, I've heard of but never seen this show before.
Probably just not as prevalent on your continent.
Also, I went to his wiki to see how long he actually had been involved and I came upon this little fact:
Funny stuff, and rather appropriate today.wikipedia wrote:In late 2001, during Jeopardy!'s 18th season, Trebek shaved the mustache that he had worn for over 30 years. He wore a fake mustache for the first half of the April 1, 2008 episode as an April Fools' joke

I just put in my entry for tonight. Oh Alex, your sweet, smooth, upper lip will soon be mine.
Also, I'd like to take this time to mention that I'm soooooooooooooo good at Jeopardy.

I'm disappointed that this contest isn't open to Canadian citizens. Stupid traitor Trebek.

The only trivia I know is about literature by Franz Kafka. I got both questions we had about him when I was on the high school trivia team (the answer to both was "Franz Kafka").

Re: Galapagos with Trebek?
I love it when they have a Kafka question. Especially if I'm watching with others. Because so many others have no idea about him at all.LordRetard wrote:The only trivia I know is about literature by Franz Kafka.

I'm reasonably good at Jeopardy. Hardly good enough to contend, but enough that I enjoy watching and probably getting about 10-25% right.

Re: Galapagos with Trebek?
Oh, I may as well mention... One of the biggest reasons why I hate (not hate so much as prefer not to watch) Jeopardy is that I usually watch it with my family. All of them are GOOD at Jeopardy, they're all extremely well read (they all read faster than I) and they know all sorts of things about history and random bits of trivia. I only read surrealist (perhaps "surreal" is a better word) literature and I only know a handful of extremely random things that I picked up from somewhere like Wikipedia, I guess. It's a tad humiliating.
