    Ouch. I can imagine 20 years ago he was goofing off while the teacher was going over Greek mythology and, when told to pay attention, he responded "When will I need to know this!"

    That said, Achilles does get mentioned from time to time... say in movies featuring Brad Pitt

    Oh, that is really really bad. I wonder how frequently he needs to spin dice on-the-spot.

    Was he going for "World's Fastest CaR?" Even though the category was person? Must have been as high as a kite. And if not, he probably got wasted afterwards for his poor performance.

    16 team, points only. G: 2-W, 4-SO.
    Top 9F, 4D & 1G . Keep 15, Max 23

    I think he was going for the World's Fastest Cat. Who knows.

    I don't feel bad for him though. I feel bad for other people who tried out for the show but couldn't get on because they gave this guy a spot.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    That was hilarious!! Old Pat Sajak didn't skip a beat there telling him the answer was not acceptable. It looks like all the contestants were wearing University sweatshirts. I'll bet Indiana is very proud of this dude! I'm sure I would never fade under pressure of being on television with a million dollars at stake! Yikes. I like to think I'm pretty good at Jeopardy, but ever since I took the online test, I do believe that I should have taken a bit more actual "schooling" vice "real-world experience"!

    How about the South Park Wheel of Fortune fail? It's highly offensive, so I am not going to post it here. It shocks me the stuff that South Park get away with. That being said, I did laugh the first time I saw it.

    There was a real life Wheel of Fortune moment exactly like the South Park one (i think it is where they got the idea)... just google 'wheel of fortune clam digger'...
