Anthony; Goldman's name was unfamiliar.

Thank you, Yakko Warner, for putting those two close together in the song (and Somalia, the one I knew immediately, first).

Speedy, Maine, and Punic Wars, and losing a coin flip and saying harp instead of lyre. $2200, so I couldn't catch up.

Neonatal is a word I need to learn, and I should have gotten Flemish.

On Wheel of Fortune or The Price Is Right , sometimes it looks like the wheel is going to stop on the perfect space, but it has just enough spin left to get over one more peg. That was me, naming as many Shakespeare comedies as I could and deciding to go on to the next; Taming of the Shrew was my pe...

:mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( No guesses Tuesday or Thursday. Thursday, I think if I'd tried to come up with colors rather than people who died in the Mexican-American War, I might have connected brown and Brownsville and taken the shot. Carver Friday I watched the first few ep...

Veronica Guerin

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :( Norway; if I'd considered more I would probably figured Denmark is between Germany and Norway but there might be a water border in the east with Sweden. Bouncing around all the comedies I could name quickly, I nearly settled on the correct answer b...

Got Circus Circus.

Joan got away with it again: the clue was asking for Loretta Lynn, not the name of the film.

"The woman seen here is the subject of this 1980 film about a rise to musical fame." It's asking for the movie.

No response Wednesday; Cameron.

Caught Jersey Boys on tour a few months ago.
Have neither seen nor read The Handmaid's Tale.

Probst. I didn't like it (was pretty sure the talk part was wrong), but couldn't come up with someone better.

Have not seen The Seven Year Itch.

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: Robert Burns. Mind went completely blank on El Dorado. Even after the two missed guesses and pausing for ten seconds to give it chance to come up, I couldn't get it. On the plus side, I came up with Bartok out of nowhere, so it evens ...

Keira Knightley (also considered Portman and Swank), Teddy Roosevelt.
For some reason "Home on the Range" got stuck in my head about two months ago and that's when I learned it was Kansas' state song.

At home and not keeping score, I pantomimed flipping a coin and took the 50/50 with Laurel over Hardy, but on the show would have clammed rather than give someone the rebound layup. Was the coin flip because you weren't sure which name went with which character? Or was it because you weren't sure w...

I noted my long FJ! streak on Saturday, so of course it breaks today on what I usually consider a strong category. Got stuck thinking last decade, so it came down to is Hilary Swank that young or did Natalie Portman get nominated before Closer (which was Supporting anyway) and couldn't convince myse...

I considered King, along with Patterson and Clancy (Crichton was dismissed because I was pretty sure he died before 2012), but stuck with Rowling, who was my first thought.

FJ! streak stands at 19, which I think is my longest ever.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Interesting week. Loki was the only one I knew for sure (I could have named Sleipnir if asked); I thought the dates were too late for Mt. Rushmore and Thomas, I didn't know if Mozart composed a requiem (have not seen Ama...

The clues for handy reference in DO THE MATH since it's bound to be a topic of board interest: $200: It's the decimal equivalent of 1/8 $400: 9 divided by 3/4 = this $600: If  x² + 2 = 18, x = this $800: It's 5% of 400 $1000: (x + 1)² expands to this One way of doing the math in the category: $200:...

I was a little surprised it's been two months since this FJ!

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: I have no opinion one way or another about one-and-done vs. players making a run at the ToC field. No plans to enter the All-Stars Sweepstakes. Edit: Wednesday night I was struck by wondering what happens to letters mailed to Santa an...
