Magical Underpants
May 24th, 2005 by JJ
The greatest mind of our generation has won himself another 15 minutes of fame. Ken Jennings is back on the Jeopardy stage.
I’m only halfway kidding about that “greatest mind of our generation” shit. I mean the guy is a machine. If you’re following along at home, be sure to check in with the Ken Jennings Express. Madonna’s keeping tabs on the totals and can fill you in on all the details. Yes, I said Madonna. Here’s a sample:
And, finally, after nearly four months of waiting, here he comes… The Stormin’ Mormon… Mr. Jeopardy! himself.. Captain Clip-On.. The Jennings Express.. The man who needed to buy a new wireless plan so he wouldn’t have to pay to talk to all his new “relatives”…
Who would’ve thought that a guy who wears magical underpants could become the smartest man on television?

You see, this is where not being American is my downfall. I haven’t a clue what you just said - sorry
Ah yes, TS. For my international readers:
Ken Jennings is this quiz ahow genius who set the record for the most wins and highest money total on Jeopardy. He’s currently playing in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions. And he’ s so good at this shit that he’s going to sweep the floor with these other chumps (my prediction).
And he’s Mormon, so he may or may not believe in magical underpants.
+99 Magical Underpantaloons of the Gods.
Captain Clip-on + Magical Underpants =
CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!
Ev, those underpantaloons are nearly unstoppable if they have the +20 brown streak of death.
Sar, I think Ken is going to lose his title of “Captain Underpants.” He’s in a distant second place now with only one game left.
Ken Jennings is the girl from the first story in Girl With Curious Hair sans the lesbian relationship with one of the producers…

Thanks for the plug, JJ..
Especially since it looks like my blog will get a THIRD life sometime in the next 12 months (I thought it’d be retired when Ken lost, but here comes the UToC… And now we get Ken’s game show).
Ken’s in trouble. Today’s game did not give me joy joy feelings. But, that being said, we know he can get into a zone where he’s untouchable, and if anyone can make a comeback like this (which isn’t impossible with today’s dollar amounts), it’s Ken.
I’m going to break out my lucky boots tomorrow. The blue ones I wore during the Rams run to the Super Bowl in ***1/***2 - then like a dummy, I didn’t wear them during the Super Bowl…
Excellent obscure reference, Trav… whatever it means.
Rock on, Madonna. I just watched Ken lose the tournament. Sucks. Did you take off your boots?!?
You’re right, though. At least we can count on seeing him on TV again when he gets his own show on Comedy Central.
I wore the boots. They just didn’t seem to have the magic effect this time… Rats. I guess they only worked on the St. Louis Rams…
Maybe if I had some purple ones (as in the Utah Jazz’s primary color….. Darn)
Definitely hurt watching the tournament end the way it did.. But, seeing Ken so gracious and classy (once again) took some of the sting out of it. And Brad definitely deserves congratulations, and the victory - he played the way Ken played during that magical winning streak.
Now, if only Comedy Central would get Ken’s show on the air soon…
Hi My wife and I would like to thank you all for this web site. Hours of pleasure and all
Die.
This site is put together well!
Hooray for me.
