:( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( Goliath, no answer Gath was totally unfamliar. I've seen the clip of The Beatles singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (and The Doors "Light My Fire"), but never a full episode of The Ed Sullivan Show . I included "Wonderful." I have been to the Air &...

FJ—Instaget. Plains state=Kansas and gem=emerald (or ruby, which is what I thought of first)

Not ruby. They were silver in the book.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :( :( :mrgreen: No answer; " Titanic 's sister ship." Annoyed at myself for not getting Hotel California , because an Eagles greatest hits collection is one of the few rock CDs I own. If I'd thought of the Eagles, I'm certain I would have gotten it, but every arti...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( ( :mrgreen: ) :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Marlowe, Mengele, Alaska. Only Mengele with any degree of confidence. Have not read The Lottery . I think I was supposed to at at least one of the schools I attended, but because I moved around so much and the 10th/11th grade school's...

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( No response Monday; I was trying to think of US cities. If I'd realized the clue pointed outside the US, I'd have had a coinflip between Montreal and Toronto. Neither seen nor read The Da Vinci Code . My dad watched Murphy Brown when ...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( I don't know if I would have gotten Amadeus if I'd considered real people. As it is, The Phantom of the Opera popped into my head, and despite general unease that I later attributed to things like "it's set in Paris, not Vienna" and "the Pha...

Mario Bros. should have been ruled incorrect. The clue was asking for the game, and Mario Bros. came out in 1983 and didn't feature Peach (Toadstool).

This game is a draw for the Intermediate Form of Shore's Conjecture. The second-place player bet "small." --Bob

$13,000 out of $13,000 is big in my book.

Not a Shore's Conjecture game, either, unless I'm misreading the flowchart (EJ didn't have Debbie locked out).

Thought of Avalon first, but changed my mind.

I have no idea if I could do lotus or not.

9/10, missing Iliad for Aeneid.

I assume they were going for stegosaurus instead of ankylosaurus, hence the pause and "we'll accept that"?

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: Aeneid . Said "carapaces" instead of "exoskeletons." Had "kite." It's been years since I've seen National Treasure , and I'd forgotten the name comes up in it. I've heard of Harry Styles (I think he is/was (?) in One Direction?). The ...

Never seen the Taj Mahal in person.
I'm fairly certain I had a View-Master as a kid.
No issues with coveraqge.

:( :( :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Bacon (lost coinflip between him and Marlowe), France (considered Spain and should have stuck with it), Arlo Guthrie (I knew it was the elder Guthrie, I just can never keep their names straight), and Edmonton (I don't think of Saskatchewan as "west...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Poland; Warner (desperation guess). I knew it wasn't Germany; Germany kept their anthem minus a couple verses. I should have tried to think of countries similar to Germany rather than relying on my terrible attempts to match composers to cou...

:( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :( Dreyfus (sigh), The Thin Red Line , no guess Have not seen Glory I... took a college class on jazz. I'm sure I heard "Take the 'A' Train" there. I wouldn't recognize it now, but I'm not clicking the "never listened to it" box. Sun Valley is unfamiliar.

:( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :( Monday my response was "Who is John Alden? (No, seriously, who is he?)" Searching for him in the archive, I've probably gone 50/50 on clues related to him the last several years, with enough clues in context to fill in the blanks. Not here. Wednesday I ha...

I considered Whitman, but then "The Road Not Taken"/Frost clicked.

Plan to watch the Teachers' Tournament.

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: No guess Monday. Zanzibar came to me a moment too late. Just the atomic number would not have been enough Thursday. I assume there was no interruption to normal airing schedule because of the draft because it airs mid-afternoon here. But I'v...

Thanks to Person of Interest, bird surnames put Finch immediately in my mind.
