Since we’ve been talking about Ken Jennings and Jeopardy<\/em>, I’ve been thinking about the Cheers<\/em> episode “What is…Cliff Clavin?” in which Cliff Clavin, a postal carrier who lives with his mother, goes on Jeopardy<\/em>. As a bar know-it-all, Cliff’s reputation and self-image are on the line. Guest star Alex Trebek reads off the categories:<\/p>\n

\n

\nCIVIL SERVANTS
\nSTAMPS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
\nMOTHERS AND SONS
\nBEER
\nBAR TRIVIA
\nCELIBACY\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And then Cliff knows this is his game. This is his dream board.<\/p>\n

What’s your dream board on Jeopardy<\/em>? You could answer this question in two different ways. You could either choose the six categories you’re strongest in, and that you would most like to see if you were an actual contenstant on Jeopardy<\/em>. (I’m pretty good with questions about Shakespeare.) Or, as in the example above, you could create a mini-autobiography by choosing six categories that sum up your personality and interests. Or maybe that’s the same list.<\/p>\n

What categories would be on your “dream board”?<\/em>\n<\/p>\n
