Stupid Schwab

Blog Written with a loving hand by kitt some time around 23:31 on 20 September 2005
Kris tivos Stump the Schwab, a game show wherein contestants test their sports knowledge by answering trivia questions competitively against Howard Schwab, who worked for years as a sports researcher and accumulated vast amounts of sports trivia knowledge.

When I last watched Stump the Scwab, the way it worked was the show host would ask a question, "Name the last 19 men ranked #1 in the ATP rankings," and the answers would display in a list. The contestants would provide an answer in a round-robin fashion, dropping out when they couldn't provide a new, correct answer, until only one contestant (or Schwab) was left. Each correct answer yielded a point, highest points goes to the next round.

The correct answers would disappear from the list, so you could see at a quick glance the correct answers remaining.

Well, they changed it.

Now, instead of displaying all the answers, they display them one at a time as they are correctly guessed by the contestants.

Terribly annoying.

I can no longer hear the question, then cry out, "Wait! Wait! Pause it! Let me see... Safin, Roddick, Federer, Courier, Wilander, Sampras, Kafelnikov, Hewitt, McEnroe, Muster, Moya, Edberg, Agassi!, Becker, Sampras, Rios ... crap! Um, Lendl?" as Kris stares at me in amazement.

This works effectively when the questions are baseball related and Kris says, "daaaa-aaaamn..."

Not realizing, of course, that I've watched the episode already and memorized the answers.

Doesn't have the same effect without the "Wait! Wait! Pause it!"

Stupid Schwab.

050920 - WotD: patois

patois

From the NY Times website article Almost Before We Spoke, We Swore, discussing human speech patterns and "genteel" language.

"Every language, dialect or patois ever studied, living or dead, spoken by millions or by a small tribe, turns out to have its share of forbidden speech, some variant on comedian George Carlin's famous list of the seven dirty words that are not supposed to be uttered on radio or television."

From the Merriam Webster online dictionary,

    a dialect other than the standard or literary dialect, uneducated or provincial speech
