Like Myron, I first thought of L for 50th anniversary, then realized it was way too direct for FJ.

Haven't heard the term "Pirate Laureate", but I've heard Jimmy Buffett fans being called "parrotheads", so I found this a gimme.

And with his own song.

Got a quiz bowl story from around 1983. The host asked "Who wrote The Scarlet...". I buzzed in, thinking it would be Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne.
Of course it was Scarlet Pimpernel. Never forget that one.

Re: Thursday, December 7, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

I played this off the archive and had a really hard time parsing the clue. I spent a long time trying to figure out what it might mean to "Japanese laugh". Once I figured out what kind of answer was required I couldn't decide between "esperanto" and "lingua franca" and...

The FJ! clue had me stay away from the Mississippi. While still on the river kick I was not sensing the Missouri. Taking vast body as real vast I went down and wrote Amazon.
