D'oh!

Same here.

My condolences to you and your family.

Knew Pacino wasn't in "Apocalypse Now," must be napalm in the morning guy, then I blanked on his name. I initially blanked on his name as well after realizing it wasn't Pacino ... I had to go to another of his movies, 'Tender Mercies', where it finally came to me with seconds left. Man, what a game...

Someone with too much time on their hands could have fun substituting a current politician's face on Martin Sheen's Stillson character and doing some editing work for a fun YouTube clip. And for all I know it's already been done. That's funny -- I've been thinking that for some time now, especially...

Yes, Johnny seemed like he was waiting for someone to plug the clue board back in each time he answered correctly. Ha, ha -- too funny! He was a little slow in responding as well, but I like Johnny -- I was singing "Go Johnny Go, Johnny B. Goode" at the screen; but ugh, those timid wagers. Still, I...

Same here (except Pastor Liz is the one which comes to mind for me).

Hear, hear!

I've heard of Allen Ginsberg and "Howl", but I've somehow managed to go this long without knowing that Allen Ginsberg was gay and "Howl" had anything to do with sex. Same here, but I've not read it. Funny thing is, I just heard a piece on The Writer's Almanac a few days ago about it being the anniv...

Ha, ha! Well said, my friend!

Agreed. That description almost threw me off.

$35,400 Coryat for this episode, picking up all three triple stumpers in "Too Much Information" and two more in DJ. FJ was an instaget. "Grisham, Clancy, or Crichton" made me think of this: https://simpsonswiki.com/w/images/thumb/4/43/Just_Crichton_and_King_Bookstore.png/250px-Just_Crichton_and_Kin...

I'd love to think I suddenly got a lot better at this game but I suspect my $31,400 Coryat is a product of a board that was easier than usual. I ran a sports category for gods sake. Trust me when I tell you, that simply doesn't happen. I thought that 'Groovy Movies' category was way too easy as wel...

Not to mention 'The Verdict' with Paul Newman being same (with 2 wild guesses).

Tough crowd.

What was the deal with Bellamy's arms? She kept waving them like Kermit the Frog. Ha, ha -- that was just one thing I found annoying, there was the endless chirping sounds she made throughout and the 'oh, oh, oh what do I pick next??' act. Too much. I went with Oprah for the final just to have some...

Mark Kelly's mind seemed to be wandering off into space half the time (pardon the pun). Ha, ha -- very funny! L('d)OL. For final, it looked more like 2 go-carts to me so I went with Ford & Chrysler. I got some lach trash on Lazarus, Molly Ringwald/Ally Sheedy, Dilbert and (stunned!) Gregory Peck (a...

Given Greg's choice of jacket and bald head, I can only assume he is planning to win one...million...dollars . Ha, ha -- good one. I thought Dr. Evil as well, but I'm guessing it's a chef's outfit. I was hoping the FJ would have been a bit more challenging, but I'll take the instaget gladly. Awesom...

THe French COnnection won the BP Oscar in 1972, despite being a 1971 movie. The Godfather WON its BP Oscar in early 1973, as someone argued on Fikklefame. Chronic pet peeve of mine. :evil: Can we all agree that "1972 Best Picture Oscar Winner" = Movie from the year 1972 that won Best Picture?? I ge...

Well, for the second day in a row Gautam had me pulling my hair out. "Why does this keep happening to me, Alex?" Because that's what you're trying to do, and in doing so, minimizing the amount of money you have to wager. Gun, meet foot. "Oh, The Grammys, I guess I have to." Sorry that's too low-bro...

My first thought for FJ was the Kentucky Derby, but a quick rereading of the clue made me realize it was the World Cup. Same here .... excepting I couldn't come up with the correct answer with rereading. realizing the Kentucky Derby didn't fit the 'venues' aspect of the clue. Perhaps if I'd had a f...
