:( :( :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: Acts of the Apostles, UK, Where the WIld Things Are , San Jose If you'd told me a clue about the British Royal Family would save me from the Box of Shame... I said "What is 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue'?" so I clicked ...

No response, I forget who I came up with, Lee and del Toro (knew it wasn't, The Shape of Water won Best Picture)

No guess, Messi, Vatican City

Monday and Friday I had trouble coming up with anything. Both correct answers were "Oh, of course" moments (along with "1979, genius" Friday).

Never read/seen Catch-22.
I've only ever seen "fogey."

endorse, GLOW , My Little Pony ( Friendship Is Magic available if needed, which it didn't seem to be), "do not go gentle into that good night" (no rebounds needed), "things fall apart," Cole Porter, Beethoven, and Martha Washington for $7400. I also said Tchaikovsky just before the buzzer, but I'm n...

If you get to one guy then it's strange not to be able to get the other name wanted. Of course, there's my problem of not being able to keep which was which straight. It took me two seconds to figure this was the annual Dreyfus Affair FJ, then twenty to decide on one of the two names. I got it righ...

:mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Hormel, Cher. Can't say I'm familiar with either Platten or Puth. Unsure about Swanson dinners. The name Mo'nique is familiar, but never heard of Precious . I would have said 17th because 1913 is closer to Prohibition than the Civil War.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :( Cubism. I wasn't entirely sure what kind of response the Friday clue was going for. I said Kaczynski. Show aired normal time all week. I'm honestly not sure where I pulled "Phi Beta Kappa" from. I couldn't have said what university it was fo...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( Scots pine; I knew it was likely something associated with Christmas, but couldn't think of anything. I don't think of holly as a tree, even though Harry Potter's wand is made of holly. I don't remember what I guessed Thursday, but 3M was nowhere n...

Ugh. Cool Hand Luke and Knoxville Tuesday and Wednesday, no guesses the other days. Friday I was trying to think of a restaurant with carhops.

I probably would have gotten Los Alamos.

No response; from the category name, I was trying to think of a fictional place.

My Monday response was "Martin Luther's theses."

- Didn't fare so well today, getting only jocular, Kentucky, and miter for $3,400, plus the Bell Jar DD. - No hope on Final; the category had me trying to come up with a fictional place. - I wasn't sure between Clinton and Kerry and clammed. - I might have gotten meter, and maybe smite, if I'd been ...

Got equator, Car Talk, metronome, Holliday, fiasco, Teutonic Knights, and precinct for $8200, which combined with a FJ! solve gets a fourth podium win. (I personally also count raptor and operetta for $800 each and a total of $9800, enough to tie for the lead going into Final.) Clammed on oak and fe...

No guesses W/F; regular play Final streak snapped at 14.

Got stuck on Casablanca (off by one year) and couldn't come up with anything. If I'd allowed myself long enough to think of it, I'd have gotten to Kane and "Rosebud" soon enough. The Graduate/"Plastics" was never going to click.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: I went to Blockbuster fairly frequently, although I preferred Hollywood Video (and later, Netflix). Both read and seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . I knew it was Mrs. Lot, but didn't know she didn't have a name so I guessed Salom...

Bible/Rust, "guy who invented the barometer," Lamentations, Japan/Philipines (Russia was my first instinct, but it didn't feel right. Agh.)

Had not heard of Jeremiad before.

No LT. Had "good night and good luck," axe, and Alison Bechdel. And my FJ! response was "Who was the guy who invented the barometer?"

The ToC is prone to having a clue where I know what/who they're asking about but not the name, with "the guy who invented the barometer" joining "the woman who killed the guy in the bathtub" or "the giant statue of Jesus in Buenos Aires Rio De Janeiro." I don't know if the name Torricelli is going t...

"Thunderball" only among LT, plus Zhivago.

Basketball, soccer, ostentatious, Pascal, Caddyshack *. I could not come up with Smetana; after pausing for a minute I said Berlioz but immediately knew that wasn't right and at that point I gave up. Got both Arkansas and Nash. Had both Amen and Proverbs, but had the Versailles neg. Also got hardbal...
