Guess What I Did Tonight?

You will not believe what I did tonight!

Well, maybe if you answer in the form of a question you might be able to guess......

C'mon...........you know you want to whistle it.............

Yep!  I took the adult online test for Jeopardy!
Are you impressed I got this screen shot only 48 seconds before the test started?  ;)


How did it go you ask?

Well.............

Let's just say I didn't break any records tonight and leave it at that.  

My dear Worker Bee has taken the online test twice, passed it, and then been invited to audition in person down in Los Angeles - twice.  He has been accepted into the contestant pool twice (and, in fact, still is in the contestant pool for another 8 months or so).  It was nice having his experience as I signed up and then took the test.  From his experience I know it will be a few weeks before I hear anything from them, but I'm not packing my bags, that's for sure.

There were 50 questions and maybe I got 25 right.  They even asked the name of one of my favorite musicals ever and it came to me with 2 seconds left and I didn't have time to type it in.

So how was the experience?

Fun!  
I would do it again and I would definitely load up on the caffeine and trivia books for next January when they open auditions again.  (Dear sweet Worker Bee didn't finish my white mocha in time for me to drink it before the test started - hum.....maybe I can blame him for my lack of success.)

Have you ever tried out for a game show?

I'd love to hear your story!

Thanks for buzzin' by!  
I'm now going to enjoy my white mocha and go read Ken Jennings books.  


Oh wish Baby Bee luck!  She is in her school's Spelling Bee tomorrow representing 4th grade!
