You just described me too, on both counts. (I realized early on in FJ that Spain was just a few weeks ago, but had nothing else to go on, so that's what I stuck with.)Wheatley wrote:I was so proud of myself when I insta-guessed Spain for FJ.
Personal Lowlight:
"Not just an abbey, but a borough..." "What is Downton?"

I'm a Gallaudet alumnus. Who's your friend, maybe I know her?silverscreentest wrote:I have a friend who teaches courses and has edited books on The Philosophy of Star Trek and The Philosophy of House. I was distracted for a clue or two thinking,"OMG. Her class was mentioned on Jeopardy!" Then I remembered she teaches at Gallaudet, not Catholic.

Pretty bad J! round tonight, a lot better with DJ! (bolstered mostly with 4/5 on Nonfiction Books and "Y": Me. Lach Trash for "pie."
Somebody else mentioned it, but I gave myself a "+" for saying 'back' instead of 'spite'. True, I might have been BMS'd, but I struggled with that round.
For FJ!, I had no clue. My thought process was "Spain had an abdication, but that was too recent... Japan? No, Hirohito was there forever... Ah, hell, let's go back to Spain's neighborhood, 'What Is Portugal?' just so I'd have a guess.

Do you know who the woman is in front, with the Game of Thrones-ish dress on?
Edited to remove the huge picture and because I found out who she is.
