For one of the rare times, I got zero in that category about Musical typo marks. I hope to never see that again. But I did get 5/5 in Common bonds, Ends in "th", and Potpour"p". And I got FJ. So there it is.
Be alert. Stupid never takes a day off!

I liked it. Enough that I could recite most of it to a friend who missed it. Please don't hate me.

I can't find a place where archivists are credited on the J-Archive, but I am guessing you are the Kendall I was encouraged to "blame" and you did the first round? Thank you for your hard work. That archive is seriously impressive. I'm actually glad that my memory failure led me to it, and to here.dhkendall wrote:Wasn't a holiday weekend for the guy who did the J! round.Robert K S wrote:More elaborate answer: it was a holiday weekend, so even the people that proof or enter games when they aren't entered timely haven't been able to get to it yet...econgator wrote:Simple answer: they Archivists are all volunteers, so they enter rounds when and if they have the time.

I am surprised at you, alietr. Definite article? Like there is only one thing good about JBoard? For starters, what about our founder? And then, how about our fantastic moderators? And that's even before we get into the community.alietr wrote:That's the good thing about JBoard. We keep the nicest penguins around here.
What about all of those awesome JBoardies of the Month?
Oh, and the web host guy ain't too shabby either.

The clue calls it a "Metropolis," when they would normally say "City," which is hinting that the answer has "City" in its name, because the actual title of the book is "The Natural History of New York City."TenPoundHammer wrote:Okay, then what was the vague hint that was supposed to make you go for the obvious then?

Because New York City is the only city in the US with "city" in its name.
See what I mean about "go for the obvious"? Way too subjective.

Metropolis is a pretty hyperbolic sounding word, has to be something huge - I sure wouldn't describe say Kansas City as a metropolis.

Really, dude? No, we don't see what you mean. New York City is far and away the largest city metropolis in the United States. That's why it--and not Kansas City, Jefferson City, Circuit City or Grand Theft Auto: Vice City--is "the obvious."TenPoundHammer wrote:Wheatley wrote:The clue calls it a "Metropolis," when they would normally say "City," which is hinting that the answer has "City" in its name, because the actual title of the book is "The Natural History of New York City."TenPoundHammer wrote:Okay, then what was the vague hint that was supposed to make you go for the obvious then?
