You have 15 seconds to enter an answer until it goes on to the next one. It would be impossible to research it that quickly and then type in your answer. Basically, if it doesn't come to you right away, you're screwed.

I have never been, but I have heard what E said from many people.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I don't know why you'd get excited about eating at a Hard Rock Cafe-type tourist trap in NYC when there are so many amazing restaurants to get excellent food, and not all of them expensive. It's basically the eating capital of the world.

That's like being excited to eat at Red Lobster.

Yeah, I probably only got about 25 out of 50. I did, however, ace all the art/literature/film categories. Oh, except for my spazz out which lead me to type "Battleship Down" instead of "Watership Down." Oopsie. I would love to try out for a specialized Humanities Jeopardy, though.Quoting Benny Profane (view post)
Er, yeah, meg, there's an absurd amount of superior--and cheaper--restaurants. You know, and they're not in Times Square.

I'd say it's rather worse, due to the cosmopolitan, hundreds-of-other-options setting.Quoting number8 (view post)

We haven't forgotten Bubbagump. No, we have not.Quoting NickGlass (view post)
Howsabout we get some recommendation for good, quality-for-the-price places in New York to eat? I'd love a list, myself, because I keep swearing I'm going up one of these weekends. (My folks go up once a month, practically. I'm so lame.)
...and the milk's in me.
I got 28, including most of the arts ones. Pissed off I didn't get the 3 time Swedish Oscar winner. I panicked and put in Liv Ullman.Quoting NickGlass (view post)

There's one here in Charleston that I haven't been to. It might be a bit better, though, since Charleston does seafood pretty darn well overall.Quoting Ezee E (view post)

What's the diff? Red Lobster is like 3 blocks down from Bubba Gump in Times Square.Quoting NickGlass (view post)
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
I think Jeopardy! has gotten markedly easier recently. i can answer a healthy number of questions on a given night, and then guess (correctly) at a chunk of the rest. You constantly see each player frantically clicking as soon as the question is given. It's just a matter of who gets there first...or is allowed to. I swear sometimes it seems like the person who got the previous question right is allowed a very small grace period in clicking in on the next question.

I can answer a lot of questions, too, but I figured it's because I'm older and smarter than I used to be.Quoting Wryan (view post)

Blast from the past!Quoting Mara (view post)
I can provide a totally mondo list, but there's such a plethora that I'd need specifics on borough (or, even better, neighborhood), price, and cuisine. From there, I would love to give you recommendations--I just need you to narrow it down a teensy bit. I do my research, eat out a lot, and have particular loyalties to certain family-owned restaurants/bars/cafes.

You know what, though, the quality of the food wouldn't be my main reason of avoiding establishments like Bubba Gump. I avoid Times Square (and Midtown in general) like the fucking plague if I can help it. It's the only place I've been to where just walking down the sidewalk is like trying to fuck a bull with a spiky asshole.

That analogy is very strange 8.
Oh, I was considering that in regards to locations. Red Lobster mostly thrives in the suburbs (where options outside of obnoixious, generic chain restaurants are admittedly limited), while Bubba Gump restaurants tend to be in cosmopolitan locales with a plethora of superior alternatives.Quoting number8 (view post)

Then you've never tried to get somewhere through Times Square.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
True, considered that, but I think there's also been a kind of plateau effect on the questions, like if the question contains "Civil War" and "prison," just buzz in and say "Andersonville" cause that's the only one that anyone really knows. I see questions like that all the time. Maybe it's always been this way and I didn't notice.Quoting Benny Profane (view post)
