” I can always make my son laugh with a Samuel L. Jackson impression from the movie where he is the bad money-grubbing brother and sings “I like getting high”
—Oh, VJ, how I would pay good money to see your impression of him! Hehe
Imo, best characterization of a crackhead in a movie, ever. Heartbreakingly hilarious. I saw the movie twice on DVD.
Hope you’re doing well, VJ.
ha ha ha, Cece, I saw that film twice myself and you’re right, Gator was the quintessential crackhead.
I am doing okay though I wouldn’t try to do that “I’m a c-c-c-crackhead” dance anymore.
Reinheitsbegot isn’t the correct spelling, it’s Reinheitsgebot, did they misspell it on the show? (I missed that clue on the show. Hope this helps, that’s what I aim for, helping.) 🙂
They spelled it correctly on the show, McFeisty. That misspelling was on me. Thanks for calling it to my attention. It is a help 😁
This episode showed, to me at least, that Mattea is vulnerable to any amount of strong opponent. I picture, in my mind, how a champion will stack up against other TOC players. To me, she doesn’t go all the way. However, today, I only yelled “I don’t care” once, and, to her credit, this was two days in a row with an appropriate bet.
Happy to see Mattea win again. It only took Jennifer and Mackenzie 8 days to get to the 200K mark. Although Mattea’s amount is a little less than the previous ladies it’s not a bad haul. Good game by all the players today and very few triple stumpers. This game was a lot better than yesterday So we wrap up the week with a new streaker since the 4 game curse in march and a triple stumper. Overall, mattea has done pretty well so far. Lee also had four other films such as Malcolm X, Do the Right Thing, 4 little girls, and she’s gotta have it which are selected by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Film Industry. Did you know that Lee also did a commercial for the 501 button fly jeans back in the mid 1990s, VJ? He also directed commercials for Converse and Jaguar too
Here’s what I know, Lou — all that stuff is in Spike Lee’s Wikipedia article and there is no need for you to post it. I sure hope you are not going to do this every day and ask me if I know whatever it is.
No not for every game, not unless there is a triple stumper next time around for final. But anyway though, hope you are having a good friday. Mattea not only has surpassed Buzzy Cohen in wins, but she has widened her knowledge ever since she first started her run. I sure hope buzzy is watching this because he must be proud right now. He is on the chase which starts May 3rd. Hope to see you tuning into that VJ!
Lou, With all that you have posted on FF over the years about how much you have learned in school I’m sure you learned how to cite your sources and what the consequences were if you didn’t. VJ is always very careful to cite her sources. So if you didn’t learn in school you should have learned from reading her works over the years. On Jeopardy websites you are addressing highly educated people who don’t take too kindly to what you’re doing as many have already told you.
If you want to win friends just be yourself. I don’t know if what I have posted is sinking in or not but I’m trying to be kind. I hope you take it that way.
