When I clicked on the Season 36 link, Google Translate asked me if I wanted to translate it. It assumed it was Norwegian. I couldn't figure out what triggered it.

Oops...I didn't indicate that I found this funny and just wanted to share.

CNN posted an article about the Palestine/Israel clue.

I currently live in Michigan.

I was born in Grand Rapids.
A friend was selected to go to Interlochen when I was young.
An aunt owns property near Saginaw Bay.
An ex-BIL was incarcerated in Jackson.

I guessed Kardashian West instead of Kardashian and it was marked wrong.

I am from the midwest, but in the early 80s I lived near Boston for a few years. I was often ridiculed for not understanding the local lingo, so I stopped asking questions in real time and would ask my coworkers for clarification later. When I was at a mall, I ordered an ice cream cone, and the woma...

The Amtrak conductors have always said Dowagiac as "duh-WAH-jack". Johnny had "DOW-a-jack". I grew up 30 miles from there and yes, it's 'Duh-WAH-giac'. Johnny butchered it so bad, I thought it was just some town I never heard of. We'll see if he gets it right tomorrow and I hope Jennifer doesn't ge...

Was I the only one who heard "Sidney Lauper"?

Whiffed on FJ!.

I heard that too, and then I thought she was going to restate it correctly but Alex accepted it before she had to.

So am I the only one who doesn't think of "deal" as a one-syllable word? you think it has more than one syllable? "Dee-yul". Then again I've always parsed "world" and "field" as two-syllable words too. I'm not a language expert, but I'm pretty sure that the two vowels make it a dipthong, not a two-...

I hate that I can no longer program my own computer, and haven't been able to for at least 25 years. Maybe one of you can help me. I want to write a simple program on my Windows 7 PC Whatever it is you are doing, better do it fast. What, does my computer turn into a pumpkin at midnight on the first...

I'm on a PC, and I tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge and can't see it. I even tried incognito mode.

During the TOC I had multiple times where I knew who they were looking for, but just couldn't pull the name. (Who's the tiger in Jungle Book and Who's the woman that sang at Lincoln Memorial, for example.) So when I said to myself "Who is Lot's wife." I just assumed it was more of the same and I don...

Thanks, clt013! I always enjoy your TDs. I also like the fact that during the reveal, you display the correct responses in one place.

I'm surprised that I came in 5th because I think I got 3 sheeps, although a couple may have been co-sheeps.

Clearly I should have gone with the homer pick of North Dakota on the hockey question, considering I’m an alum. But noooo, I decided fewer people would think of little old Lake Superior State.

Same here, only my alma mater is Michigan State, which also went unused.

"Fatherland", 4 years...triple stumper? Bah, nobody deserves to return

Additionally, the original wording was in french.

For FJ! I said Chiang Kai-shek because I remembered that he moved to Taiwan in 1949. Oh well.

I had 2 coin flips where I picked the sheep instead of one that wasn't used.

fuji/japan
trapper john/fantasy island

I sheeped the first question, but am in 4th place. However, there's a big gap to first place.

Thanks Peachbox. I do enjoy these TDs, so I'm so glad you stepped up.

My goal was to get into the top half, especially after the last few TDs. so I never thought I'd tie for first!

Thanks for the TD! I finally cracked the top ten.

I'm not in LL81, but, for those of you who are, this is a reminder that today is the Midseason Classic. Also, FYI, when you let your subscription run out, your login stays active surprisingly long. My membership officially expired on May 14 and I had been disappointed because a 1DS in which I had w...
