Oh, the friggin' irony

Okay, so to stay in the pool to possibly be called for Jeopardy, you have to take a test. The results of the test can only qualify you for twelve months from the date of the test.

I last took it in January 2006. I got an e-mail announcing the 2007 test. They typically only do one or two online tests per year, and are no longer allowing any in-person tests for people unless they're on a contestant search. Being based in LA, they never do them in the SoCal area.

The test will be 1/23-1/25 (a different day for each time zone). The rules specifically state that if you took the test at any time since 1/23/06, you are ineligible.

Just to be on the safe side, I check my archived e-mail.

Guess what date they gave the test on last year?

January 26.

So, thanks to some fucknut moving the date back, which had to be intentional, I'm ineligible by three whole fucking days.

Which means I have to wait probably six months, if not a year, to get back on the list.

Goddammit to motherfucking hell.

You got that right, Kidhuman. Anarky doesn't want any of this. He is probably too chicken shit to go on The Price Is Right because Bob Barker will kick his ass. That Howie Mandel gameshow is probably more of his speed.

Remember that episode of Family Guy where Mayor West was on Jeopardy and for his final answer he wrote "What is Kebert Xela?" And Alex read it out loud and popped out of existence? That was funny as hell.

Weird that you dont have the power to close the thread, Only such power as a moderator can do such things with the force and all!

The real Irony is that GNT will have more posts than me by the end of the month.
