That would be incredible...

Mr. Blonde · 07-17-2004, 08:44 PM

Thats insane

cough man · 07-22-2004, 12:45 AM

So what is the lastest word on Ken? I haven't been home and so I havent had a chance to check him out recently.

Orgazmo · 07-22-2004, 08:35 AM

He's still winning.

He actually broke the all-time jeopardy cash total record the other day. The other guy had won like 1.1x million dollars because he won the tournament of champions last year (or maybe the year before), and then, on top of that, he won like 100k or something from regular games. Ken, on the other hand, has broken his record without getting any large 1 million dollar bonuses for winning any tournaments. He's solely won regular games...yet has amassed more cash than the fellow who got a cool mil. bonus.

Impressive to say the least.

His truck continues rolling tonight.

underwater · 07-23-2004, 01:06 AM

i saw a little segment about him on CNN today.. that guy is insane.

Orgazmo · 07-23-2004, 08:37 AM

Yeah.

He tied the record again last night.

Also, before last night's show, he had officially topped the previous winnings made up of completely in-game cash (not the guy who got the 1mil bonus for winning the tournament of champions) by a million dollars. The previous record was like 156k or something. How about that.

StabMaster Arson · 07-23-2004, 09:57 PM

the magnificent bastard did it!

75k is the new single day record.

Niger Angelus · 07-24-2004, 12:30 AM

Ree-fuckin'-dick-uhh-lus.

Orgazmo · 07-24-2004, 02:09 AM

He's absolutely incredible.

Just...

He's incredible.

No other words could describe him. You hit it on the nose.

Niger Angelus · 07-24-2004, 03:07 AM

I bet 'its' eyes are watering now.

cough man · 07-24-2004, 03:17 AM

You know you are probably right.

Schroeder · 09-07-2004, 09:55 PM

Well, hate to revive a dying thread, but he made it a 40 day win streak tonight. Props.

Orgazmo · 09-08-2004, 02:23 AM

It's not a dying thread. It's a thread in its prime. Its fucking prime.

StabMaster Arson · 09-08-2004, 02:27 AM

we are now witnessing the second coming of Ken.

behold the splendor

f3lix · 09-08-2004, 10:01 AM

I appreciate Ken's ability to quickly and articulately pronounce multi-syllabic words. Maybe would should call this Ken-speak.

Ugly Bastard · 09-08-2004, 01:26 PM

I liked Ken's reply last night: "What is....because they stock it from the back of the fridge so the ones on the bottom...."

Kennnnn....now really, did you think that was a winning question?!?

-Ugly Bastard

Orgazmo · 09-08-2004, 03:00 PM

Ken is a rascal, for certain.

Orgazmo · 09-09-2004, 02:44 AM

He won again, guys.

I also stumbled upon Ken's website which lists movies he's seen.

Schroeder · 09-09-2004, 04:12 AM

It's suprising how many of his favorite films from different years are anime or children's movies. Just goes to show that anyone who takes themselves to seriously can't live up to their full potential. Ken spoiler (don't read if you really care about this)

Orgazmo · 09-09-2004, 01:03 PM

I don't buy it...and I'll tell you why. They said they asked the studio if it was supposed to be a secret...and the studio said no. Sounds like a tapestry of bullshit to me.

If you want to know the real secret, highlight/read below.

<font color="black">Ken never loses.</font>

Ugly Bastard · 09-09-2004, 01:37 PM

Fuck E! Fuck them!

Wanna know why? Whether this little tidbit on Ken is true or not, I just clicked on a very innocent sounding article about Ken on their website, and WHAM!!! Shitloads of info about Ken being eliminated that I did not want to know...be it true or false (which I'm sure it's true).

Gee Golly that rubs me raw.

Schroeder · 11-30-2004, 04:54 PM

Well, not to resurrect a dead thread or anything, but Ken Jenn is scheduled to lose TONIGHT.

Ken, I'm still proud of ya.

Orgazmo · 11-30-2004, 05:02 PM

I was wondering if he had lost. I believe he is supposed to be on Letterman tonight. At least, that's what I think Dave said last night.
