The FJ! category narrowed the century and the country area in the clue seemed to pinpoint the guy to guess. Not that I would have considered Lewis Carroll anyway, but I play the J!6 before the game to get the categories ahead of time and he was in the RIPPER one. With nothing better to do I tried t...

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: Brooks Brothers is a name stored deep in the back of my mind that wasn't going to come up in thirty years, let alone thirty seconds. Said Armani, despite me correctly assuming (Giorgio) Armani is Italian, because that's the only name ...

I considered other American patriotic songs but decided without a TOM leading to them I should go for the anthem.
St. Peter; no way was I getting St. Andrew without mention of Scotland.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Blade Runner with about 0 confidence. I wish I'd thought of The Terminator , at least. ET never crossed my mind either. Harrison; wanted to come up with Taylor's name because it was likely going to be Taylor AND (Harrison OR Lincoln) ...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( "Most fearless mammal" immediately made me think of badgers and wolverines, and with "two-word" in the clue I was able to make the step to honey badger thanks to knowing that honey badger don't care. I don't think I'd have gone...

Hamilton as a desperation guess. The only other remotely plausible idea I had was Spring Awakening, which I knew to be older than that. Unfimiliar with Dear Evan Hansen.

Show aired on schedule Tuesday.

Couldn't muster a guess Tuesday.
Nearly said Rhein/Main, but talked myself into switching to the Danube before locking it in.

Alex announced the Teen Tournament starting on Wednesday. For those that like the orderly approach of the ten games M-F & M-F the move is necessary due to election coverage on Tuesday preempting the show in multiple markets. And they can't wait to start it on the 12th because then it would run into...

Instaget FJ. I'm almost certain the Bloemfontein/flowers connection has come up in an FJ before, but I don't know when, or if I got it right then.

January 2017. I didn't know it then, and am actually kind of surprised I came up with the name this time.

Charon
I had St. Petersburg.
I say the L in salmon and balm.
I have no definite plans to buy lottery tickets, but that could change.

I quickly went to the right area of the solar system, but decided "carried... to the underworld" sounded more appropriate for Charon. Ah, well.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: I was five kinds of hopeless Thursday. Only title I associated with Lerner and Loewe was Camelot , only bridge title I could think of was Bridge on the River Kwai , and I was pretty sure both of those were wrong. As for Brigadoon , th...

No guess on MeatZZa.
Didn't even notice the category Tuesday.
I briefly considered connecting COSSAC and Russia, but couldn't make anything of it so swung back around to the correct answer.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( Wavered between Edward VII and George V (I knew the kings between Victoria and Elizabeth II alternated Edwards and Georges, but I wasn't sure which was first) and settled on the right one. I was preempted Thursday. I generally play Fi...

Crispus Attucks.
Confucius was my first thought Thursday, but I switched to Buddha.

Have not read/seen East of Eden.
I couldn't name any Road Runner/Wile E Coyote cartoons I've seen, but I know I've seen a few.

I wonder if they would have accepted "Allison Moorer" on the Kid Rock/"Picture" clue?

I can't see any reason why not. Maybe a reversal if it wasn't on the card. (I said Moorer and counted it right, at any rate.)

:mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( no guess; Chicago Said "Guillotine" AFAIK have only ever seen "restauranteur." Maybe I've seen it spelled right but mentally entered the S. Didn't have a guess about the movie role, so I went with a random big city. I probably won't watch the draft...
