Today’s show was jam packed with worthy candidates. That’s part of the reason I didn’t get this post up any earlier. I hate that I had to narrow it down to just one, but I think this clue is truly deserving to the honor.
Today’s Jeopardy Clue of the Day:
The $1200 clue from the Double Jeopardy round category SIX FEET UNDER
“NEW ENGLANDER WHOSE EPITAPH, “I HAD A LOVER’S QUARREL WITH THE WORLD”, IS FROM HIS POEM “THE LESSON FOR TODAY””
Answer:
“WHO IS ROBERT FROST?”
Wow. They had a category in the first round that was all about quotes, the answers being the names of the persons who said them. I gotta say though, this quote - “I had a lover’s quarrel with the world”, blows all of those away. But not only is it a wonderful line, but it is one I can really relate to. Nothing witty, comical, or insightful to say here, just that I can relate to those particular words.
Oh and what the hell, since I didn’t really give you much with that last one…
Bonus Jeopardy Clue of the Day:
The $800 clue from the Double Jeopardy round category “BIG” LOVE
“ROOSEVELTIAN PARTNER OF “SPEAK SOFTLY””
Answer:
“WHAT IS BIG STICK?”
I got yer big stick right ‘ere!
Sorry, I had to. I couldn’t help myself.
