Re: Wednesday, March 6, 2024 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

Congrats Troy!

I said 1965--Thought they were looking for the end of the war. Almost doesn't count except for horseshoes and hand grenades.

A Ben / Yogesh/ Troy final would be nuts. Hope we get it!

Re: LL 100

I dismissed Moses and Jesus a little too quickly I knew it was a stretch but I went with "hymn," hoping the prophet was 'Him.' Certainly Jesus is described often as "him," but I guess not specific enough. Never heard Mosaic in reference to Moses, but it makes sense. I went with ...

Re: LL 100

Snatched a tie from the jaws of victory yesterday, 6(5) - 6(4). I was running through defense in my head when I answered, and said to keep Grisham as the 0 since that was obviously the easiest question. Then I saw my opponent's film score was their highest, so I threw that down as the 0. They missed...

Re: 2024 Current Events Thread

Doubt it comes up on J!, but I fully expect it on LL in the upcoming season or 2: Tara VanDerveer, women's basketball coach at Stanford, just became the all-time winningest basketball coach in NCAA history with win #1,203. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/21/1225961755/tara-vanderveer-most-wins-coach-col...

Re: LearnedLeague 99 (LL99) Thread

De Lempicka was clearly going to play tough, but I was somewhat impressed that 32% knew what a fresnel lens is. Not a single person on my player tracker got De Lempicka. Personally I'd never even heard of her. I sussed out / guessed correctly. Didn't know what a Fresnel lens was, but thought about ...

Don't forget BWA voting, people! There are some good ones. Can you share a link so I can see the nominees? I never can find it.... It can be found on each season's History/Awards page, but you have to click through like 3 links to get to the full list. This will be LL98's link, once the winners are...

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread

After MD 20, I was in 5th with a decent-ish chance to qualify for A. After MD 24, I'm in 16th. It's been quite the freefall this week. Overall still a decent season, though.

Once I parsed the question, the one in Oceania is the one that came first. But I'm strange like that. It did take me a while to parse it.

Re: LL Season 97

I won (first win since MD 13!), but missed the theme song. I do love me some Muppets, but just completely blanked. I put "Cheers! Where everybody knows your name." Nice and ironic with the lines given about asking why we always come here and it's a torture to be there. We'll see if I get a...

Same. I'm on a 5-match losing streak. Oof. I've earned 3 points in the last 9 matches. Double oof. Plummeted 13 spots in the standings during my losing streak.

Re: LL Season 97

Lost 6(5)-9(6). Only question I missed was Memento Mori. I knew the roots, but couldn't place the exact words--I put "memre mort."

My family is on vacation this week. What do I see a guy wearing on the sleeve of his hoodie at a shop I walked into? "Memento Mori." Dang it!

And when I was looking back at last season's BWA nominees for the first time, I realized I had a nomination! MD1, Q2, nomination 6: The first solo woman to receive a Tony award for playwriting was Wendy Wasserstein, who won the honor in 1989 for her Pulitzer-winning, multi-decade Chronicles of what ...

Re: LL Season 97

And on the other end, I just won my 6th in a row to bring me to 6-2-1. My MPD is 0, since I got blown out on day 2 and most of my wins are very close. 4 of my 6 wins have been due to defense--we've had the same number correct, but I play better defense so pull out the win. Yesterday 4 people in the ...

Re: LL Season 97

BarrettM on MD3, fortunately avoiding KendallDH as one of the 2 I don't play in the rundle. Is MillmanBQ on here? I feel like they were at some point, but can't remember if they're still active or not.

Good luck to those who need it, have fun to all! Looking forward to the season!
