i'm a horrible person
Tonight was sort of a "roommate" bonding night. About six, Brent yells upstairs, "Come down here, I'm bored." So, Ed, Brent, and I are sitting around just kinda hanging out. Then, Tommy shows up and we do some rearranging, invovling switching out the TV's in the living room.
So, we watch some TV for a while, and then Brent and Tommy leave the room and it's just Ed and me. We end up watching the Jeopardy Teen Tournament.
So now, the bad part . . .
One of the contestants is a 16 year old girl, I think her name was Caitlyn. Anyway, the "fun fact" about her during the intros is that she wants to be the first female president. Which is awesome.
So anyway, she is doing really horribly during the first round, and ends up with -$200 at the end of round one. This leads to the following dialogue:
Ed: You know, if she can't hack it on the Jeopardy Teen Tournament, she'll never make it in Iowa.
Me: You know what. I hope she finishes with a negative amount. Can you imagine 20 years from now, during the Iowa caucases, this girl is running, and then all of the sudden this Jeopardy tape pops up.
I know, I'm terrible. And the best part: Early in the round, she made her way up to $600, and then it all went downhill from there, with her ending up with -$5000.
I can't wait for 2024.
