Ditto that. Ernie Bushmiller's comic strip "Nancy" was iconic in my childhood and extremely dated and stale by my college years. Seeing no one among three J! contestants have a clue on it made me feel old as well.Category 13 wrote:Full size portrait of Nancy; a triple stumper? I feel old.
I can't recall the answer, but that old slang term for a talkative lady has gotta poll less than 5%, or I should say NHO > 95%
Not to mention seeing Tip O'Neill's picture go unrecognized. For cripes sake he was second in line of succession for the presidency during the Reagan years.
I also got Lach Trash for adrenals, Orion, The Quiet Man (daddy, who was John Wayne? OK time to go shoot myself), serendipitous, and the Wankel engine.
But by far, the "Boy, am I old!" moment of the season for me came on the one that was not only a TS for the contestants, but is being touted above as a 5%-er among boardies. The talkative woman---the Flibbertygibbet (or however it's spelled) was an Instaget for me because that was the name of one of the minor characters on the Old, Old, Old Howdy Doody show. I have to wonder if ANYONE else here got that, and for that reason. Just curious....
Rooks looks pretty strong, but she did utter the one thing no serious trivia person EVER says. On the Tip O'Neill clue, "I may not have been alive then." As they say, you weren't alive during the Revolutionary War either, but you're supposed to know something about it. Nonetheless she knew enough to score two very nice wins, and the sole get FJ was good too. I knew from a variety of sources about Suriname (the former Dutch Guiana) so that was an Instaget for me.
I look forward to seeing what else she can come up with in game 3.
