oilandcloth hall of fameth: alex trebek

Here's some quotes from the great one (whether these are quotes from the program known as Jeopardy or just things caught in passing at Alex's private brandy room I know not.) :

"If you can't be in awe of Mother Nature, there's something wrong with you."

"Sex? Unfortunately, as you get older - and I shouldn't admit this - there are other things that become more important in your daily life."

"I don't gamble, because winning a hundred dollars doesn't give me great pleasure. But losing a hundred dollars pisses me off."

"My musical development stopped when Frank Sinatra died."


I'll never forget the answer to the first Jeopardy question I ever answered...Babe Ruth. I was the man that day. Not now though, now I just play with my cat.
