jeopardy, anyone?

Category: Conference Trips to Florida

100 pts: This is the title of Jenna's new super-fun-for-driving mixed CD

200 pts: This is what Jenna had to pay for gas to Gainesville, FL from Athens, and back.

300 pts: This is song that was playing when Jenna learned of an extension on a major paper that she still hadn't written

400 pts: This is the difference between presenting a paper in a session about poetry, versus a session on any other topic.

500 pts: You will only see this on I-75 between Valdosta and Macon


Gimme your best guesses, in the form of a question, of course.

(winner gets...uh...something cool.)

pretty close on the 200-pointer, but still a little low....

and i think i give you credit for the "great improvement" since we all know poetry is the finest form of expression...

and the point is to see the creativity of my friends and fam in action. as if i don't enough already :)

What is Pep & Melancholy, perhaps?
What is $115?
What is, uh, "Why does it always rain on me?" hahaha
What is (shoot, I can't remember the question)
What is the part of Georgia that looks and feels like Florida but still calls itself Georgia?

reba gets 100 pts for "pep & melancholy", and half-credit for "the part of GA, etc" for a grand total of: 350 points!!!

2) What is $200?
3) What is...I dunno. I got nothin'
4) What is iambic pentameter?
5) What is that King Frog place (I think that's what it's called)?

jmg said...

ha! iambic pentameter would have been awesome!

and it might be king frog...it was king something! aka, a twenty foot pole, on top of which sat a giant crown. on top of the crown (not wearing it) was an enormous peanut.

the whole structure had to be at least 50 feet tall.

500 pts for melissa!

Rebecca said...

But Jenna, what's the 300 pointer?? You must tell us the answers to your questions.

jmg said...

oh, sorry! here's the offical "correct" answers:

1) What is "Pep and Melancholy"?
2) What is 158.04?
3) What is "I feel lucky"?
4) What is presentations are done in a circle, rather than the standard presenter stands, listeners sit facing presenter?
5) What is a twenty foot column, on top of which sits a giant crown, and on top of which (not wearing it) sits an enormous peanut? (see next post for visual supplement)
