I've seen about five minutes of the first ep. of The Handmaid's Tale , but J! clues, award shows, EW, TV Guide, etc. are enough to pick up little things like the "Of" names .... Even this very board! https://www.jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?p=295948#p295948 I knew of the "Of" names, saving me from a bag...

Did anyone know "June gloom"? That seemed like a very California-centric clue. I did but I'm from there. You may be right that it's not known elsewhere. I'm curious if it's even known in Northern California or more than 100 miles from the coast. These are the same writers that think everyone has he...

Today is a palindromic date: 1202021.

I started with Dollar Rent-a-Car but I couldn’t imagine a $1 a day car rental, even in 1962. Nightly rate led me to hotels so I checked in with the right company. I then thought about Super 8 but Motel 6 is better known so that was it. runs: Shameless, Testing, Daily Doubles: :D (total WAG) :D :D t...

NORTH AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY Communities in this province include Sydney, Dartmouth, Pleasant Bay and Argyle. What is Nova Scotia? My wife is from Dartmouth, NS so I wasn't missing this one! Good clue though, I can see the path to a solve if you're not married to someone from there. Argyle was the give...

runs: G-ography, Daily Doubles: :( (Garrett in the clue pointed me to Billy the Kid), :( :D trash: captain, Revolutionary War (WECIB), Godwin-Austen, FJ: Even I got this one :mrgreen: I don't think Donesh should've been negged as the two different measurements implied uneven in the clue. :| judges: ...

Somehow I went through childhood without ever reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, so that was a miss. Went with the herd on JFK.

I chose option #2. My actual feelings combine the first clause of that option and the second clause of option #3. I think he is doing well but I do want to see the other hosts.

I chose option #3, but my opinion is the same as yours.

Another vote for option 3, for the same reasons.

Has anyone even heard of Ted Lasso? (besides Vixey)

I've seen the first season twice, and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Some of you have way too much time on your hands. I don't even watch network TV, & the writers expect us to know every random streamed show? Seriously?

Daily Doubles:
trash: Central Pacific (nobody got the rebound?), rattlesnakes, infer DD,
FJ: Joined two of the contestants w/JFK

NHO babaganoush. That was only slightly less obscure than liederkranz. I'd be willing to put money on baba ghanoush being much more well known than liederkranz, at least in the U.S. baba ghanouj should fulfill the Hawley-Smoot criteria for rememberance. For tonight, if you learn nothing else about ...

Wasn't getting Caterpillar out of that. :( Joined the contestants in stand...

ANAGRAMS All currently in circulation, they're the three units of currency seen here: What are lira, rial, and lari? (from Turkey, Oman, and Georgia, respectively) I like it but never in a billion years could have told you the name of the third currency, even if spotted the country. I don't see any...
