Re: Thursday, February 16, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Oof, Sports is my wheelhouse so it hurts to miss that. Said Big3 despite knowing the league was much newer than 2010, and there surely being no way that would ever be a FJ answer :D

There are two separate week-long tournaments. So each tournament winner gets a slot.

Instaget FJ. Spent the 30 seconds trying to think of legitimate alternate answers. Chrissie Hynde was really the only other one that I could come up with, but not really a Hall worthy solo career.

From the date in FJ, figured it'd be a West Coast city named after an East Coast city, and got there pretty quickly.

Re: Tuesday, May 10, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Yay, on the board for the week.

Woodstock was instaget, and knowing The Simpsons parodied Lollapalooza in the mid-90s helped rule that out. Got there with the 2,500 miles part, as I realized it basically asked to name a big California event (knowing Woodstock already).

Re: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

it's not necessary to have seen the movie to solve the clue. In order to solve the clue, you probably at least have to know that The Paper Chase is about law school and not, for example, a story of high finance. Didn't know what The Paper Chase was about, but got the answer pretty quickly just thin...

Re: Tuesday, December 21, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

While the clue was easy with the context given, I've never heard the nickname 'Slim Reaper' for Rick Nash. Coupled with the fact they hilariously showed Nash in a Bruins jersey, where he played only 11 of his 1060 career games, it makes me think someone pulled a fast one or made some bizarre inside ...

Re: Wednesday, October 13, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

judges:. Ministry for Missionary on the DD? :?: FJ sounded enough like the correct response to make this easy. :mrgreen: Now could someone explain the bets? :? The logic on the FJ bets is sound. However, if I had the lead, I would never assume the person in 2nd knew how to correctly wager, and you ...

At least you got to wall. I incorrectly read it as something that was created in the past 3 decades and threw out the Chunnel as a guess.

Oof, one of those FJ's that seems obvious in retrospect, but I completely whiffed. Settled on Anthony Burgess.

I heard an unconfirmed rumor that Marie Osmond would be guest hosting, but I have nothing concrete to back that up :D

Golf and others like to comment about math and J! players. The clue is as much math as anything. It would be fun to know how Gabriela connected the Madonna song to a possible two more chart appearances. Am the right age that the song in question was right in my wheelhouse. Even so, initially focuse...

If The Simpsons has taught me anything, it's that there was a Unicorn named Gary in the Garden of Eden.

I went with Count.
I got Ahab specifically thanks to 'revenge' in the clue. Nowhere near an instaget though, as it came to me with about 5 seconds to spare, but I was pretty sure it was correct once it did.

Who is Norman Mailer? Because that's who I answered with instead of Norman Lear.
I said Norman Fell, so you have company in the Wrong Normans Club.
