So what was the intended answer to the Dime Store question? Or was it just bad clue?

I think it was supposed to just be dime novel and not dime store novel.

Yeah, that FJ was as close to a gimme as you can possibly get, and I say that as someone who knows literally nothing about TV shows.

He ended his MMA career in 2010 with a four loss streak (for a career record of 3-4). “Retired MMA fighter” seems a questionable summary of his employment life.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

There was a Quidditch category like last week or the week before, too. Probably the latter, so at least a week ago he was reading clues regarding it. Didn't seem down with it then either.

The Quidditch category was during my wife’s game actually. She was yelling at the TV “why didn’t he get that stupid category!”

That category also didn’t do a great job at distinguishing that it was apparently on the US Quidditch league rules, vs the book. I had no idea there was a difference, but still, good lord.

I was never enjoying it. I only eat it for the nutrients.
Remember 8 or 9 years ago, when Sajak knew the wheel well enough that he was deliberately throwing $5000s on the final spin like 4 out of every 5 games
