A while back a few of Jon's classmates, Alexi and Matt came over for dinner. Naturally we watched Jeopardy while Jon finished making dinner. He's a champ in the kitchen. I have to say that I felt like a ringer this time and managed to get more Jeopardy answers correct than I usually do. Meanwhile my guests (i.e. opponents) found themselves without answers.
The defining moment of the evening came via back-to-back questions from the 90's Entertainment category.
First Question
Alex Trebek: "This actress starred in the controversial film titled, Showgirls"
Erin (yelling!): "Who is Elizabeth Berkley?!?!!"
Alexi and Matt: [silent]
Elizabeth Berkley old skool |
Elizabeth Berkley 'the new class' |
Second Question
Alex Trebek: "This popular dinosaur's trademark colors included purple and green."
Erin: [silent] Thinking, "I know this! I know it! Somewhere in my brain the answer is clear, it is on the tip of my tongue!!!"
Alexi and Matt (who were virtually silent for the entire game): [simultaneously] "WHO IS BARNEY!!?!"
And then I had a generational moment.
