What the pluperfect hell was that for?
Obviously they knew what would cheese you off and they ran with it.

Two whooshes in twenty four hours.
That must be some kind of record, isn't it, Roger?

I'd have gone with "that's the first time that's ever happened in the history of the Game Show Forum," but well played.

They also had, more than once, a singer come out and do 45 seconds of a song before a Daily Double. What the pluperfect hell was that for?

...to have a singer come out and perform before a Daily Double? That's what I'd go with.

(Pluperfect? Where are we, seventh grade English class?)

Funny you should mention it. I've dropped more than one Ten-Pound Hammer in there in my time. If you know what I mean. And I think that you do.

Well, anyone want my cookout leftovers? Joe and Chris just ruined my appetite for about the next week or so. ;-)

I had thought about including a Ten Pound Hammer joke when I parodied him on the old Jeopardy! board, but I ultimately decided against it.  (See, this is the proper use of the pluperfect tense.)

Thus, the Eleven Pound Hammer decided to end his rant because he had to edit Wikipedia articles, as opposed to doing handicraft with his eleven pound hammer.

(I had way too much fun in middle school grammar class.)

I would never say that Jo Anne Worley was annoying*, but I saw something this morning on $25KP that made me think of this thread. In the Winner's Circle, the category was THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE 70'S. She said, "John Lennon was, uh, ..." I think at that point she realized that he was assassinated in 1980. Then she said, "Johnson was President." No, that was 1964-69. Amazingly, the contestant got it. (She said, "nineteen seventy-one," or some other year from that decade, and they accepted it.)

*The sound crew on various shows might feel differently.
Protecting idiots from themselves just leads to more idiots.

Foot-binding was a Chinese custom, yet everyone seems to think that was the bestest clue EVAR.

If it worked, it's a good clue.

Shouldn't either of those have been buzzed, since they didn't fit the category?

No. There's a difference between "making an honest mistake" and "trying to circumvent or obviously failing to read the category."

Someone made a good comparison in a thread a while back. If the category is "Things that are creamy", "water", while a crappy clue, would not get buzzed simply for being inaccurate, but "ice" probably would get buzzed, since it alludes to "cream".
