On a thoroughly unrelated point, did anyone else hear the name Mike Nelson in the opener and start thinking "In the not too distant future, somewhere in time and space..."?

Maybe showing my age, but I was disappointed he wasn't in a wetsuit.

Moved from the FJ 4/12/21 thread. (snip) It's been a major driver of history in the West. https://www.usbr.gov/lc/phoenix/AZ100/1950/whiskey_drinking_water_fighting.html And the reason Colorado residents can't collect rain water (Technically it looks like they can now, per https://extension.colostat...

No idea how you're supposed to know about Mulholland unless you are from California. I knew about him from reading the book Cadillac Desert . Fascinating book, but perhaps a tad comprehensive unless you're really interested in the history of water utilization in the American West. I have more of a ...

FJ- I remembered Van Gogh did a painting from an Asylum window or something like that. (Turns out he did many during his year there). I couldn't quite pull the Sunflowers painting in my head to rule out any background objects, but I couldn't have named it either and I felt pretty good about Starry ...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: First 5/5 week in while, so it's predictable I would blank on the majority of the extra clues. Wouldn't have gotten Monroe if I'd been spotted the "M" (would have gone with Madison). Knew I knew Mulholland, but the tip of my tongue ju...

NHO Egghead, but put together the clue and got it anyway.

Using a scale of Alex = 10, my rankings would be Ken, 8.5 Katie/Aaron tied at 7.8 (for different reasons) Mike, 7.0 Oz, 5.5 I liked Aaron's demeanor and interaction with the contestants, but I did find his enunciation a little lazy and slurred. I'm not sure I'd go as far as Opus and term it "mush-mo...

Instaget FJ, and I’m of the opinion that “Utah” in the clue was some modest negbait - but one that a J! player should be able to sidestep. Have to agree. When I saw the clue, I was expecting at least two right and was very surprised at the TS. It's enough of a semi-favorite that it should be a virt...

21ST CENTURY MUSIC Considered by some as System of a Down's signature song, this American-Chinese dish is widely believed to have been invented in the US CHOP SUEY! NHO of System of a Down, but got it from the alternate TOM. Prior to your clue, the only song I knew whose title was also an Asian foo...

If opals are opalescent and pearls are pearlescent then are onyxes onyxescent?

Possibly. If convicts are convalescent.

Can any boardies divulge their secret to getting this? I can't keep Onyx, Agate, and Opal straight, but the Onyx I've seen is amazingly beautiful. If anybody has a trick I'll second the request for secrets. ... Opal is iridescent. Onyx looks shiny. Actually, my thought when the picture was displaye...

I knew The Flaming Lips' song was "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" It's too bad they discontinued 151. It was the strongest alcohol you could buy in California and I've gotten to make some special drinks with it. Too many people getting alcohol poisoning and suing the company I suppose. Allegedly,...

I'm now doubting it was Monorail, as the Simpsons was the J!6:

(the clue)

After he (temporarily) loses his job there, this "Simpsons" character sings, "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?"

Spoiler

Who is Nahasapeemapetilon?

Spoiler

Be more specific.

Perhaps a very deep dive, but the name is iconic enough that it's conceivable it might pop up. Bombardier has announced that after 58 years of continuous production, Learjet production will cease before the end of 2021. https://aviationweek.com/business-aviation/aircraft-propulsion/end-era-bombardi...

Would have missed Piper by saying Lear on the rebound. The name is Learjet (OK, fine, it's Bombardier Learjet), not Lear. Lear doesn't do airplanes. Ah, thanks. I think I was mixing something up. It's worth knowing there are two completely separate companies Lear and Learjet (subsidiary of Bombardi...

I'm embarrassed to admit I never made the connection between "cabin" and Air Force One. I made it as far as thinking, "Hmm, what if they don't mean a dwelling kind of cabin? Did any anyone take the oath while on a ship?" Didn't get to an aircraft, Remind me what your avatar means? :lol: The biplane...

The one time I was in Colorado Springs was on the move with my family to CA in July and we spent an extra night there. We arrived in time in time for lunch and settled in at a diner. Just after our food arrived, a heavy thunder/hailstorm struck. It knocked out power, left the street looking like a ...
