Friday Fuck-Around: Dream Jeopardy Categories

Lovely Girlfriend and I were watching Jeopardy last night, because we are clearly 98-years-old. Either that, or we like shouting answers to moderately difficult trivia questions at our television IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION. At any rate, after Alex had introduced that night's exceedingly bright contestants, I paused live TV (ain't the future grand?), and turned to Lovely Girlfriend, asking, "Name your dream Jeopardy categories." Though she did name all six, I only remember three distinctly: Post-Modern Literature, Second- and Third-Wave Feminism, and Lady Gaga.

I never volunteered my dream categories, because I was having a hard time thinking of them. But, see, on the way to lunch today, these categories came to me as if from a bolt of lightening. Here they are:
  1. Norse Mythology
  2. The Seattle Seahawks
  3. The Orchestra
  4. 1990s Metal and Industrial Music
  5. DC Vertigo Comic Books
  6. Obscure Fast Food Restaurants
Your turn. You're on Jeopardy and, as Alex starts reading off that night's categories for the first or second round, it slowly dawns on you that you have this game in the bag. What are they? Comment and tell me.
