A: What Ken Jennings writes when he autographs copies of Brainiac.

Other things we learned at Town Hall last night, at the opening of Seattle Follies' fourth season:

Goldy (of horsesass.org) cannot pronounce Ichiro without help from the audience. (His initial effort sounded something like "icky-row.")

Ken Jennings can pull off an uncanny vocal impression of Popeye.

Steve Scher of KUOW's Weekday resembles a svelter Harold Ramis.

Scher is a good choice if you need someone on your trivia team who knows Seattle and Washington State factoids.

Charles Mudede is a terrible choice if you need someone on your trivia team who knows Seattle and Washington State factoids. However, he does deliver excellent soundbites like "I impose my ideas, I don't receive them."

Nicole Brodeur says she'd make a better Price Is Right contestant than a Jeopardy! one, especially if the prices had to do with Target.

"Tim Eyman" is an instant punchline if you're in a room full of Seattleites. Laughs guaranteed, actual jokes optional.

Washington leads the nation in producing seven crops: apples, pears, red raspberries, hops, sweet cherries, Concord grapes, and Niagra grapes. Neither "team Seattle" nor Jennings could name three out of those seven. (Seattlest was guessing Asian pears, but no.)

Asking contestants to answer in the intonation of a question (example: "A bidet?") rather than the form of a question ("What is a bidet?") is a meta-joke that takes several explanations before the audience gets it, leading a possibly drunk guy in a South Park t-shirt to insist several times that Jennings shouldn't get credit for his answer because it wasn't in the form of a question.

Jennings looks relieved when he doesn't have to talk, yet again, about his Jeopardy! experience.

Aside to people who were disappointed at the lack of quality Ken-time last night: He was on Weekday this morning, and the show is available online.
