Not on the trail, but I agree, it's a great facility. One contestant mentioned Buffalo Trace implicitly this week: Reese mentioned having tried Pappy Van Winkle, which is distilled by Buffalo Trace. Good stuff. At the end of the tour we took, distillery workers were busy pasting labels on the bourb...

I'm glad so many people took part in and enjoyed this year's SHC. It was my pleasure to have been part of the SHC team, and look forward to joining again next year. Thanks, all!

I said "Christopher Robin Milne" and it was accepted.

Good think you didn't answer "Christopher Robin Yount" or "Christopher Robin Leach".

The Bulleit stop on the Bourbon Trail isn't too far from Bullitt County at least, about 10-15 minutes from the Jefferson-Bullitt county line. We made several stops on the Bourbon Trail before/after visiting my wife's relatives in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. That is the county seat of Bullitt County. ...

Nowitksi and Jemisin are 2 people I've never heard of!!

I'd forgotten that Nowitski was still active.

I might be on my way to making weird LL history. After eight matches, my record is 1 win, 1 loss, and 6 ties--including a 9(6)-9(6) tie.

Yeah, I got as far as "oh yeah, Silverstone is a racing course, right? And isn't there a big track in Austin?" but could go no further. I recognize Monza as a thing associated with auto racing but would never have gotten from A to B.

I hear you. Couldn't get past "Torino" on that question.

Funny, I spelled WIlliam and Mary "Y-A-L-E".... despite that I got the win 5(3) - 3(3) due to my WAG of dogs (worth 3 points) and my opponent inexplicably giving me 2 points for golf with my near 100% actual sports knowledge (I miss nearly every video game question, and am about 50/50 on board game...

Another notable passing: playwright Neil Simon, age 91. His Lost in Yonkers won both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. Simon won three other Tonys: Best Author for The Odd Couple (multiple TV adaptations, most famously the 1970s sitcom starring Tony Randall as Felix Unga...

no clue on that bridge question, but the other five were slam dunk easy. anyone else unable to get to the site for the last little while? I had to read the bridge question multiple times before finally getting to Delaware and New Jersey. I grew up in Jersey and drove across the Delaware Memorial Br...

RIAA also said that the Eagles' "Hotel California," released in 1977, is now 26x platinum and makes it the third best-selling album of all-time.

Just got an email today for a Philadelphia audition as well -- September 12 for me.

I got mine today, same day and location (but possibly a different time). They said it may take 10 days for them to send further details.

I'm so happy for you. Go get 'em!

I've never read any of the Harry Potter books, so it was a 50/50/90 for me between Rowling and Tolkien. Tolkien was my first guess and gut instinct, so I went with that. Our library hosts an annual summer reading program for kids, with a variety of activities. One of them was a weekly poll (dogs vs...

I can't say that I've ever heard of the word "midden" before; I'll file it under "learn something new every day." I don't even really know in what context it would come up - a form of archaeology? It came up on Jeopardy in Season 30. Date: May 6, 2014. Category: Yucky History. Double Jeopardy, $1,6...

I guessed dates and strongly considered figs. I knew the name of the town was a tease out metric but didn't connect it to any food. I thought it might have been a biblical town and considered olives. The players knew a lot but I'm surprised they missed diving and Nathan Hale. I'm surprised Turkey l...
