Every year I eagerly anticipate the Jeopardy College Championship. For one thing, the questions are easier, so I get more of them correct, making me feel better about myself. But even more than that, it's an opportunity to combine two of my favorite things -- arbitrary trivia and lusting after 20 something dudes.
Below are the finalists in the Tournament of My Pants.
Don't let the bowl cut fool you -- he was actually kind of charming. In that boorish, monotone, 'I'm so sick of being smarter than you, no one has ever touched my no-no" kind of way. Extra points for rolling his eyes at his competitors anecdotes. Demerit for the hair-cut, which I suspect is hiding a cromagnon forehead.
He was smart and one of the few competitors without a lisp or an Asberger-esque facial tic. He lost it in the final round due to the doughiness of his body. Sad.
Ladies and Gentlemen -- Our Winner!!!
The easy confidence of the King of the Nerds, he was able to overcome that hair, and the general puka-shell-necklace-vibe of it all to take the tournament. My congratulations.
Also, the funniest moment of the 2 weeks was by far this night:
I realize it's hard to read, but that category is "Indie Rock." Keep in mind these are 20-something college kids.
It was the last category the contestants wanted to pick from and they got many of the questions wrong. Categories these college kids felt they had more knowledge in:
The Renaissance
Hey! It's 1887
American Literature Before and After
Kudos to the writers on Jeopardy for reminding everyone these kids don't know.
New study reported by Reuters you guys. Good Stuff.
