Heh.
I thought the most you could wager on the Daily Double was the greater of your
current points and $500, in the first round.

I don't get it. Usually these little scenarios featuring Grexers are funny.
Jamie, were you trying to make a point by doing a really stupid one?

Jamie tries to be funny and fails, and when people don't laugh he says
that's because they don't get it?? That almost *is* funny. (Brooke's
comment in #5 is obviously a joke. Either that, or she's just trying
to hide the truth from Jamie. What a horrible role to have to play.)

I remember a poetry circle once that was like that. Everybody loved
everyone else's poetry, as long as it was someone in the circle that'd written
it. Mutual admiration / masturbation.

You people have no sense of humor. This was actually somewhat
entertaining. I think I even chuckled once while reading it. I am
particularly amused by the notion that the worst thing Jamie can find
with which to saddle me is that I keep calling him an asshole. Oh, well,
if the shoe fits...
Alex, you're an asshole. I'll take Foods for $100.

I actually laughed quite a bit, though not in a derogatory way. I just found
most of the "responses" amusing.

actually i thought the keesan parody was pretty fleshed out, but the other
and russ persons were there just so he'd have an excue to make fun of keesan.
i would've liked to have seen 2 other grexers equally made fun of.
i chuckled.

I'm with oval on this one. The basic concept is amusing and the keeson
parody is funny. The parodies of Russ and Other barely touch on their
targets, and that of "Alex" misses the target completely. Or maybe it
doesn't. Not being able to parody himself, or perhaps just failing to
notice that he is a suitable target for parody, is a pretty good Jamie
parody.
Darn, I wish I had time to do a re-write on this. I'd turn Alex into
Alex Tregrex and introduce a fourth contestant (I know there are only
three, but who cares) named JP2. JP2 hasn't noticed that he is a
contestant. He keeps trying to run the show, pose questions to the
other contestants, invent new rules, judge the correctness of the
answers, and generally drive Alex crazy, while losing the game
spectacularly. The Other character would leap on every opportunity to
respond to JP2's actions with insults directed at JP2, in the mistaken
impression that he is doing Alex a favor by doing so. I might drop
Russ. There are so many more interesting subjects for parody - mvpel,
bdh, md, lk, rcurl, janc.
But, I have a week to get my whole house packed, so there is no time to
play. Anyway, I've got a baby sleeping on my left arm and typing one
handed is slow.

In my younger days I did some parodies vaguely like #0, but
not quite. I won't tell you exactly what they were like, so
that it will be a surprise in case I decide to do another one
someday.
As Jan notes, only one of the parodies in #0 is any good.
Seems to me we had a much better parody in a recent Agora
when Russ, Leeron, and one or two other folks did nice jobs
of parodying themselves.
