JS Millionaire 3/5
Steve Jeremiah Williams-Soria (Jeremy Soria)
Sunday, March 5, 2000
Once upon a time, Dave Mackey said, "Go away, Jeremy." So I did. I pulled my
Millionaire Updates during its consecutive-episode run over the last two
weeks. And even though I didn't completely leave ATGS during that time, I
think my lack of presence was known a little bit. I had a good time not having
the wrong people criticize my Updates and getting into more flamewars about
Millionaire contestants.
Tonight, it all ends.
Tonight resumes the Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday mode of Millionaire. This also
resumes my posting of the Updates on ATGS. So, whether you like me or hate me,
mark me or killfile me, I'M BACK - and I'm here to stay.
And what is it that 13 Means again...
13 Means... Flus? Ruse? Ka-Choos? You tell me. :)

Useless trivia time! The Recording Industry Association of America recently
presented a new award called the Diamond Award. It recognizes those albums
that have 10 million certified U.S. unit sales. As of March 1999, 62 albums
were qualified for this award. "Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" (1976) by
The Eagles and "Thriller" (1982) by Michael Jackson top the list with 25
million albums each.

Being asked as a playoff question in my playoff game in the EXACT SAME
FORM. (It was the fourth question, and I think it knocked quite a few
people out.) Wonder if they're running out of FF questions.
