Re: FJs for the 2/19/24 week
:mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :( :?: Romney, Pisa, no guess (worked out it was an anagram, never heard of Rabelais so I had no hope of deanagramming) Got Monday by connecting "antitussive" with Robitussin. The two times I heard of that game was when I got my Totin Chip in Boy Scou...

Re: FJs for the 1/22/24 week
Tennessee, no guess, Platoon, A Tale of Two Cities, no guess.
Couldn't get from Joe Montana to Tony Montana, tried thinking of other quarterbacks, went with the '80s Oliver Stone movie I could name.
Have not seen any of the mentioned movies.

Re: Thursday, January 11, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Clue of the Day left the "Fruit Scones" bit off. Had the right art movement, guessed the wrong name (Pop Rocks), would not have made that mistake with the full clue.

Couldn't manage a guess Monday.
Read the short story "Flowers for Algernon" and seen Charly, have not read the novel nor seen the more recent movie.
Got Ginsu and Detroit.

Tuesday – Knew it wasn't Audubon, had nothing else.
Wednesday – Nobel
Thursday – Denmark (thinking of Greenland)
Friday – Chopin
Broth, Alexander, no answer on Iridium/Sunset Strip.

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for Monday, October 2, 2023
Hamlet , sinister, space, eye $4200 and got Final. So the question is how to handle the Daily Double, since I wouldn't have gotten it. If Dane plays and misses the DD, assuming Dane bets to shut Burt out, I win. If Dane doesn't play the Daily Double and gets his $2000 back, I can't catch him unless...

No guesses M-W. Have not seen Oppenheimer.
Thursday I was slightly spoiled for but I think I would have gotten it (checked it on the poll). Have not been to Chicago but know Sue from her star turn in Dead Beat.

Re: FJs for the 7/24/23 week
Forget which country I said Monday, maybe Morocco. No guess Friday.
Have not seen La boheme; I have seen Rent (on stage and the movie).
Maxwell; none of the rest of it.
Definitely not on seeing all the episodes.

goldfish (would have said koi), decline the wine, Annie Proulx (assuming I didn't butcher the pronunciation too badly, but it doesn't matter much), Jacob, left of center (no rebound needed), Billy Wilder $6600. I should have had Ryan Coogler, but even that would have only gotten me to $7800, short o...

I wasn't spared a wrong answer by an incorrect guess, but I wouldn't have guessed between Matterhorn and Mont Blanc without Taylor ruling one of them out for...

Re: FJs for the 7/10/23 week
No guesses Tuesday or Wednesday. London was my best Friday.
Never heard of City Lights, bookstore or movie, before Wednesday.
And the picture got me the right choice between Blume and Cleary, but otherwise not helpful.

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for Thursday, July 13, 2023
barstool, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly American (saved by the rebound), reposado, creche
Also got DD3 and Final.
Without DD3, that's $5000. Even getting to play DD3, taking $3100 away from Ittai and doubling up myself, leaves me $400 behind, so no chance of winning unless betting goes weird.

wasp, Willow, Caligula, Macbeth , Psalms Also got Sea of Galilee but don't get to count it. Not going to bother totalling it up because I had no clue on FJ and that's not going to be enough for a lock. The Macbeth quote I could have extended once upon a time, but not today. The Psalm... well, this i...

Haven't read nor seen Watership Down.

fugu, wise / foolish, Dali, Unser, 1918, cosecant, if and only if, factorial.
$9600 but a FJ miss, so I could have theoretically won by betting $0 and possibly picking up a tiebreaker, but I more likely would have bet to lock out Kate.
