College Jeopardy Makes Me Feel Old

Last evening, as Mr G and I readied for our nightly competition of who houses more useless information, we were greeted with unannounced guest, "College Jeopardy" 

Adding insult to injury a "I'm Married to a Famous Singer" category came up and the clue wen something like 

"I'm married to Gavin Rossdale, no doubt" 

-blank stares-

beep beep

Alex: And that, of course, is Gwen Stefani. 

I gulped. These two are my generation's Paul and Joanne. And now they're $200 stumpers for the 20 set. 

I'm OLD. Thanks College Jeopardy. What is "I'm off to the river?"

Mr Taurus was a Jeopardy Question

Well sorta. It went down a little something like this:

Alex Trebek: A group of islands off the west coast of Africa once colonized by Portugal.




   

                  Qu'est-ce que c'est?

                                                 

Me:  What are the Cape Verde islands?!


Mr. G looked at me in disbelief. "How'd you know that, dummy?"

Me: Mr Taurus is Cape Verdean. Duh.


Another reason to love that man of mine.
