Personal Lowlight:
"Not just an abbey, but a borough..." "What is Downton?"
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.)

I'm a Gallaudet alumnus. Who's your friend, maybe I know her?

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.

I love the Fug Girls, but I don't always read their blog.

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.
So who is she?
