Recent Coryats:
originally 11-15-11: 9400 (19400 without 9 negs). The first time I played, my score was 20600, and would’ve been 26400 without 7 negs. Hey, I guess now that I’ve lost in real life I need not have any shame! It’s funny, I actually thought while I watched that I got one of the same ones wrong the first time.
My DVR’s misbehaving (shocker), and unfortunately it didn’t record the GSN rerun (originally airing 11-28-08) either time that it was on. Yet it recorded that ToC final twice. Not that it’s really related to Jeopardy!, but it didn’t record tennis either. Explain this to me: The red light was on indicating something was recording, yet the light wasn’t on that indicates the box is even turned on. I’ve never seen that happen.
Here are the people I’m tracking in the Summer Hiatus Challenge, from first place to last place in this round, followed by the clues for Week 3 Day 3. Clues are written by Dad of Twins.

My response was accepted, as were Andy’s and Kathy’s. (They said the same thing, but Andy had an extra “u” in there. 😉 Liz’s score isn’t posted as I’m typing this, but I’ll assume her response is acceptable too.)

I liked Stefan’s joke “18-point” response in this category: “Titus and Ronicus.” 🙂 One guy actually asked if there was an 18-point clue somewhere that he hadn’t seen! ?!?
