In 2nd C Savanah D1, playing 1st today. Should finish in promotion zone at this point regardless, but not counting chickens. Mathematically could win my rundle, but more chickens.

I was very lucky that Thorsten accepted "news reels" instead of film. I knew that Pathe was a major newsreel producer but after I sent in my answers I kicked myself for not reading the question accurately (it was looking for something more broad and general). "News reels" was surely enough to ident...

$9000 +FJ.

No.peas and carrots, Forrest? Thought that was TS.

They have such an enormous pool of test-takers who never get an audition invite, it raises the question of why they felt an anytime test was necessary. Ultimately, of course, it's at their discretion. an interesting take on the situation; totally agree they don't need to do more to get their contes...

Think I'm in a pedantic mood this evening. Not sure how Becket or peas and carrots are TS, either, but the thing that bugged me enough to mention it here was how FJ was written as superimposed over the players and music. I didn't see it fast enough to know if the actual reveal had the same error, an...

Holzhauer - Cellmate of Trump at Allenwood.

Why is it I always agree with you? So amusing.

I like all the mods here, but you're something special.

Sidebar to Floridagator just above. Massive boo on your entry, which made this one necessary. Lol!

Missed the episode. Confused by the wording of the nor’easter clue — my degree’s in meteorology, and I grew up in New Hampshire, and I think the more precise wording would be that the predominant wind comes from that direction (on the north side of the low pressure system), or that the storm itself...

Hmm. I like where you're going, creatively and conceptually, but please don't make her the equivalent to a female sheep in your marriage proposal. Baaaa-d idea, from a woman's POV. Hilarious to a guy, I'm sure. 1. Though his full name is one of the most famous in all English literature, his friends ...

Was very stoked to see the Booknotes question -- it's a show before my time, but I happened to visit its online archives while writing a couple of history papers years ago. TV is not a strong suit of mine, so it felt good to get an obscure one in that category. From anyone who got the W. C. Fields ...

Age was probably as important to whether you knew "Soul Train" as much as TV knowledge. It's hard for me to imagine anyone close to my age (49) not remembering it. I think demography is also a big factor. I'm aware of the show only as a pop culture reference from SNL skits or whatever. I expect Sou...

Just to close the question I raised above, clt013 and I have been corresponding in PM, and, while Ft Dodge once earned Primary Airport status (for at least one year this decade), their emplanements have dropped, and they are not currently designated as such. So I have conceded the question I had abo...

Did the word "anaphylactic" sound a bit mispronounced to anyone else? Like she was trying to say "anaphylaxis" at the same time, almost. It was clear she knew the answer, but it didn't sound quite right to my ear. I'm sure Andy will mutter under his breath at me for second-guessing the judges, but ...

Ok, I totally stunk this up.

However, please look up Fort Dodge, IA airport They qualified for Primary status and are quite proud of it, because it came with federal grant money for airport improvements. I would like to have earned a singleton, please, just for pride.

I had several lucky guesses this season, and yesterday the piper came to collect. Peru or Colombia? I thought the border was more straight and, recalling that Ecuador "carves out" more of Peru, I went with that. 99 is someone super-famous, so much so that even I should know him. I think Gretzky and...

I'm resurrecting this thread because Aimee was on my team last night for a trivia contest run by Atlas Obscura (we won, but along with 2 other teams out of 20 or so). It was an all-J! alumni team. I had remembered this thread from when she got the J! job. I won a free drink ticket for correcting on...

With much respect to many others, Alex Jacob would be my first choice. Perhaps even above at least one of the GOATS who are playing.

I started with Irish Car Bomb, but could not imagine what that would have to do with uniforms. Finally went reluctantly to black and tan, as having the Guinness, two ingredients, and the smallest resemblance to some kind of clothing reference. Turned out to be right.

"The thing I don't get: How do they spoilerproof this?"

Maybe they shoot it on a closed set and overlay canned audience sound?

It didn't matter in the match results, but I was given credit for "serum albumin" on the blood question. Any thoughts?: is that effectively close enough to the more general answer of just "serum" or did the scoring algorithm see the intended answer in the first word and stop there? I couldn't tell ...
