I've played it on a BBS, baxk when I was on daily, in '06 & '07. . .

Does your BBS have HTML access? If so, what link, please?

I'm playing Jeopardized on Synchronet currently & doing pretty well. 

I love trivia; I'm even pretty good at US History & Geography! (not so much
for Canadian, though, as ours wasn't thrown at me every Saturday morning
during cartoons in the '70s like Schoolhouse Rock! I have a copy of every
Schoolhouse Rock song/episode they ever did

Yup, others have moved forward to replace him; I like one guy on YouTube,
quite good, & all "clean"; if you're a fan of funny clean look up the Dry Bar
channel on YouTube -- all clean, all full shows, all free right now.

It's a good picture.  The Ninevites were ancient times' Nazi Germany.

Astro-Zeneca has been suspended harder than the others, all over. . .

In Canada, we stopped producing it, but are using what's alreadyt sent out
only for those under age 60.

I love those old game show bloopers; they're mosly all on YouTube; lots of
blooper/crazy scenes compilations. The most famous,of course, finally 
admitted to by the host,was on an old "Newlywed Game"; the question was 
"Where was the lasrt place you made whoopie?"; she was emnbarassed, bhut here
husband, who had his answer face-down, on a card, said, "Go ahead, dear, we
want to win the trip(or money); tell the truth."

She firmed her resolve, looked Bob right in the eye & said, "that'd be in the
butt, Bob!"; pandemonium ensued. . . (husband had 'in the kitchen' on the now
useless card)
