Regarding the previous post, a dozen Jeopardy! watchers sent me messages like this one from past Jeopardy! champ Michael Rankins…
Just a quick thought about why Mike Towry was the Comic-Con co-founder mentioned: This current run of Jeopardy! episodes is a "High School Reunion Tournament." All of the contestants previously competed in Teen Tournaments a few seasons ago. Without actually having inside knowledge, I'd guess that the writers thought that Mike Towry being 15 when SDCC began made an interesting tie-in to the present tournament.
Makes sense to me. Meanwhile, Steve Bacher read this post and sent me this…
Your advice "Do not drink too much" reminds me of a TV ad I used to see for some drug or other that said "Do not drink alcohol in excess while using this product." I wondered: do they mean that it's OK to drink alcohol in excess while not using this product?
I would think they meant, "Our lawyers advised us to caution you not to drink alcohol in excess while using this product because saying that might help get us off the hook if using our product while drunk leads to a lawsuit against us. Frankly, we don't care what you do when you're not using our product because we wouldn't be liable."
