Slow down Mike! My vacation is over!

Mark Lowenthal's run is now 60% complete with his #5 added: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=5388

Simon Cowell has judged some performances with a comment that describes my reaction to the game, "What in the bloody hell was that?"

Mark's opponents were Bill Pawlak and Joshua Kosman:

Spoiler

(I did not include a picture of Mark since everyone knows what he looks like.)

In my notebook of games on tape I had the game marked only as Mark Lowenthal without noting the other players. I was gobsmacked when I saw Joshua since I have met him at World Quizzing events. I had no idea he had ever appeared on J! He is still writing for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Alex and the judges were generous and patient for MOVIE AUTHORS $800 when perhaps a thumbs down was past due.

For the DD that concluded the DJ! round I did not know how to write the abbreviation:

At. No.
AT. NO.
at. no.

Since you never know about art, is there any way to see if the 2nd place prize:
Silent Thunder limited edition serigraph by Eyvind Earle is worth anything in 2016?

Wait, he's the originator of the Kosman Koin on LL, right? Cool! (Although his FJ answer ... ???)

Not sure if this is exactly what the plyer won, but here is one for sale for $3,500.

Yes, that was a pretty bad game, my condolences to you to have to input that. Nice you had a personal connection to one of the plyers, Don't know if the coin was named for him, but he is a LLama and has been for quite a while.

There were number of blacks in Congress from the South during reconstruction, but of course that was before senators were elected by the people. I did pick the right state, however.

Yes, that is the serigraph, thanks. I guess it's one of those things that it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

For the DD that concluded the DJ! round I did not know how to write the abbreviation:

At. No.
AT. NO.
at. no.

I'd go with at. no., although I have never seen that abbreviation (I've always just used Z).

Okay, I've switched it to at. no.
If someone has a problem with it I'm sure it will turn up in the correction suggestions.

If he's KosmanK then he is the originator of the term (the LL glossary (under Thorsten's Desk) links to the first use of the term.)

I added 4/12/95 so S11 now leads S1 39-38: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=5389

Returning champ Carole Denton faced Margaret Schwind & Mary Brody:

Spoiler

The game was a floridagator special. His signature for his posts:

My philosophy: We watch for the game. Players who get in the way of the game intrude, whether they're arrogant or adlib or cackle or fidget or make noise or are rude to AT. We want those who just play the game and don't make it about themselves to win.

The women played the game like they were there to get a root canal from an I.R.S. auditor at a funeral home. It was an easy one to Archive though compared to the mess of Lowenthal #5 from yesterday.

Carole seems to be into Scrabble: http://event.scrabbleplayers.org/2016/n ... /2/80.html

This is the last game from the Golf collection: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=5390

Barry Kerman returned to play Laura Jacobsson and Matthew Seelinger:

Spoiler

I took a guess at how Matthew spelled his correct response for the FJ! round. Feel free to share any changes I should make.

Spoiler

Tomorrow I see the dentist, so no Archive work, but I will get some more games in next week.

Can you do some Season 13 (1996-1997) games next week?

Elliot correctly responds to the George Eliot clue (Middlemarch).

Both the 1990 Seniors Tournament and the 2002 Teen Tournament had finalists named George and Bernard, but I don't know whether any of them had to field any Shaw clues.

This post makes more sense now that I know that the 2002 Teen Finals hadn't been entered yet. But...

We're halfway there now, with February 14, 2002 just finished. George Nelson vs. Bernard Holloway vs. Seth Disner (Why couldn't you have been named "Shaw", Seth?)

A Valentine's Day game with a Valentine's Day category. And then, in Double Jeopardy, a "Valentino's Day" category, "about the '20s, when actor Rudolph Valentino was a star." Okaaaay.

For clue of the game, how about DEPARTMENT OF KNOWLEDGE (a potpourri category) for $800. Can you get it without the photo, using only the hints found in the clue?

Whoooa! This bird-like woman seen here won for Best New Artist Clip at the 2001 Billboard Music Video Awards

Spoiler

Who is Nelly Furtado? ("Whoooa" Nelly + "bird-like" for "I'm Like A Bird"

No clues about George Bernard Shaw yet. We'll have game 2 shortly.

Hooray! Glad I could contribute in some small way.

Thanks again for taking the time to do what you do.

And Teen Tournament 2002 is finished. This game aired about a month before I'd be called to the audition that eventually got me on the show. Fun nostalgia blast.

The FJ category is 20th CENTURY BRITISH NOVELS. That is all any of our regular posters should need to get the correct response, but here's the clue anyway.

Spoiler

The phrase that's the title of this novel comes from the translation of the Hebrew word Beelzebub

Correct response:

Spoiler

What is Lord of the Flies?

Very possible this game is where I learned that fact, although it might have been one of Michael Ashley's Double Cross puzzles in Games magazine.

In the Jeopardy round we have TRICKY QUESTIONS, a group of "Idiot Test"-style, chestnut puzzlers that the teens had no trouble with.

Clue of the game will be TEENS in MUSICALS for $2000, the very last clue of Double Jeopardy:

This gangster musical is often performed in high schools; Jodie Foster played Tallulah in the film version

It stumped me, and it stumped the players, with George giving what was also my (quickly discarded) first inclination.

Spoiler

What is Bugsy Malone?

A search of the Archive shows 1 other instance of this musical. The Mind Map/Pavlov chain is

teen -- gangster musical -- Jodie Foster. Don't confuse the name with

Spoiler

Bugsy Siegal (Las Vegas) or Bugs Moran (St. Valentine's Day Massacre), who are 2 other (and also different) people.

I had intended to get back to kingskip's DVD, and the next celebrity game, since it's (spoiler) [nothing I originally typed here was correct, so I deleted it all]. But those Michael Pannoni games are seriously tempting me (especially the "Barefoot Mary" shows), since they're from a particularly nostalgic period of my life. (Not to mention those early-to-mid '90s games are straightforward and easy to enter.) And I do have a half-entered College game from 2003 to finish, and one more game from that tourney to get to as well. An embarrassment of riches, I must say.

I love you all. Have a great week.

ETA: Jeez you people are fast with the corrections. Thanks though.

That's the only tournament final where the player in third place* won in a triple stumper. (Jerome could have in the UToC semis, which were enough like finals to mention here, but he got FJ right.) Bernard overshot the "win on a TS" wager by $1,600, but Seth overshot the "cover Bernard" wager by over $5,000.

*When talking about multi-day situations, I use "third place" to refer to having the lowest maximum possible score, as opposed to the lowest cumulative score or the lowest score in that game (even though Bernard was in both those positions too).

[Jeff-thecdboy]

I noticed somebody's in the middle of archiving the 11/9/95 celebrity episode. For the record, the first celebrity's name is spelled "Swoosie" (that's S-W-O-O-S-I-E) Kurtz.
