The snarky sarcasm that followed was worse malaise Mar 2014 #3

And his "Gerry" answer... kentuck Mar 2014 #4

I did laugh malaise Mar 2014 #6

Who pronounced it as "Jerry"? Gormy Cuss Mar 2014 #9

Arthur pronounced it as "Jerry" and gave "gerrymandered" as example kentuck Mar 2014 #16

In any game, there will always be somebody who will try to "fix" it for themselves... CTyankee Mar 2014 #17

The categories give a lot a way. joshcryer Mar 2014 #50

He is still going? He has an atypical strategy of going for high money first as well as uppityperson Mar 2014 #20

That's why I like him - Arthur really knows stuff malaise Mar 2014 #21

I watched his first couple games with my old dad, was amazed at him playing so differently uppityperson Mar 2014 #22

what amazes me about Arthur is that his opponents often seem stunned rurallib Mar 2014 #32

They're not ready for the Arthurs of Jeopardy malaise Mar 2014 #35

The only challenge for Alex is he has to flip through cards. joshcryer Mar 2014 #49

Absolutely! Go Authur! joshcryer Mar 2014 #56

Authur isn't the first. joshcryer Mar 2014 #48
