Re: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Game Recap & Discussion (SPOILERS)
I'm totally stuck in a FJ! rut and can't seem to figure out a way how to change it.
I mean, I tried to reason this one out, but even thinking "well, initials would have to mean a town name comprising at least two words" got me nothing but dead ends.

Triple-decker. An incredibly common type of multi-family housing in Boston and especially Somerville, with three apartments stacked on top of one another, usually with three porches in the front and back. I know, I said it really fast... Hometown howdies were kind of mortifying to do!Vanya wrote:Grab everyone from your what?mswanson wrote:Re: the Winner's Circle segments, I think they just do a single one once the champion's run has ended now instead of after every game. The champ does record a new hometown howdy before retreating to the green room, though. I actually miss the written blog posts by champions. Those, I thought, were more interesting and varied and gave a much greater insight into the experience than the sort of stilted interviews with the silent, disembodied interrogator that they have now...

The Great Lakes border 8 US States, but only one Canadian Province.

Yeah, that's what threw me for a loop. I hadn't gotten down to rivers yet, what with the first being an ocean and the next a bay.bpmod wrote:For future reference:Volante wrote:"Wait, which Great Lake is Montreal on?...it isn't...but..."

You can be relieved that the only people who seem to watch them is us. (Despite having several contestants in the past few months (well, a couple anyways) from the Twin Cities area, I have not once seen a Hometown Howdy on KARE (my J! station).)mswanson wrote:Hometown howdies were kind of mortifying to do!
The subsequent howdies that you tape after you win are seen by even less people, since jeopardy.com doesn't seem to show them, they seem to be very elusive.

Yeah, mentioning Joan Jett to TPH as a reference doesn't help.

Re: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Game Recap & Discussion (SPOILERS)
I'm straining for some cheesy bison pun with no luck. Hearing it now, buffalo seems vaguely familiar, but watching I rang in with sheep. Not your every day R/W juxtaposition.TenPoundHammer wrote:Is it really that well known that mozzarella is traditionally made from buffalo milk? New to me.
Spoilered because it refers to Wednesday's game:TenPoundHammer wrote:I set myself up for Liederkranz and get American.
Spoiler
I wonder how many folks got a clue Wednesday based on the liederkranz meme here.
Pretty sure I scribbled it in time -- was playing DJ from the archives thanks to the NBA Finals feeding my DVR as much WOF as J!. All thanks and praise to the archivists, especially Ms. Early Tuesday, debramc.

Re: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Game Recap & Discussion (SPOILERS)
The "buffalo" mozzarella is made from are water buffalo. (Also pretty strange to imagine in Italy.) Our "buffalo" are bison, only found in N. America. And, most importantly, bison have tiny little teats (I just learned this about 2 weeks ago!) and even if they were tame would be verrry difficult to milk. So regardless where you are in the world, if it's a dairy product from "buffalo", it's water buffalo.davey wrote:Buffalo mozzarella is pretty common at hoity-toity food places...though if someone asked I would have guessed it was an American development, since I didn't know they had buffalo in Italy.TenPoundHammer wrote:
