Ohio sure looks smaller than Indiana. And I am shocked to learn New York is the 30th largest state. Damn, those Western states are huge.

It's the length, not the girth.

Informal poll

Buzzy is:

(A) Hilarious and Charming
(B) Not nearly as funny as he thinks he is
(C) A robot from the future sent to drive Trebek to the edge of sanity

Discuss.

howard · Post by **howard** » Thu May 26, 2016 5:18 pm

B.

He is a good but not great player. I'll go very good. But I am surprised he has lasted this long (eight victories.) Has had some luck, particularly lucky to have weaker than average competition. I bet he gets knocked out in the first round of the tournament of champions. And the Barton Fink look I find amusing.

Plus, the other night Trebek asked him if Buzzy was his 'christened' name. That was hilarious. (Buzzy Cohen.)
