The group assignments for the food and drink ML have been posted. I am in Group 175.

Group 12

Me too and we play on MD1...

I had my best ever TCA of 91 (previous best was 87), most TMP, and most 3 pointers in a season. I also ended up 12/12 in geography and 13/14 in games sport, which I am pretty happy with. To me, it was an overall easier season as I had way more instagets than I can ever remember, including taking les...

Man, my defense has absolutely sucked this season. I'm at .596, which would be only my 2nd sub-.600 season (.575 in my rookie season). I have given away 3-pointers on 18 of 23 MDs. Same here. I'm at .609, which would be my worst, after fridays 3(3)-6(3) loss...My worst previous was .628 when I was ...

Definitely got Barefoot Contessa from Food Network, my wife and kids watched that show quite a bit. I always thought she was a closet serial killer... That one had a higher get rate than I expected as I didn't really see any way into it other than through the show. I hadn't heard of the movie either...

Yesterday was one of those serendipitous days where I didn't need to think too much about any of the questions. I was pretty surprised to see the overall low get rate this morning as I pretty much insta-got the 5 I answered correctly (in about 5 minutes of think time) and lets face it, I'm only in C...

Why isn't Vatican City also correct? Am I missing something obvious, again? Yep, distance: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Federico+Fellini+International+Airport/@42.9379345,11.4647348,8z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x64a5023c1e9c3331!8m2!3d44.0201463!4d12.6119908 It'd be like flying into New York City t...

8/12 on the Mid-Season Classic. Got credit for Beider Manhoff (for Baader Meinhof) Definitely not my question set. 6/12 correct. Should have been 7, but for reasons unknown, I put something like Baden-Meinhoff. No chance at getting any of the other 5. Not mine either, I only got 4 for my worst MSC ...

two teenage daughters = instaget on Meghan Trainor. Didn't hurt that she performed at the Rockefellar tree lighting show the other day. I got 4 on the day, missing the Hindu one (NHO it) and Guggenheim, which I am a bit upset at myself about. I dismissed the guggenheim museum thinking it more of a c...

GOLF hole?!?! That was all that made sense to me given that I figured a mine, well, or anything like that wouldn't fit the clue, the Greenbriar resort is in WV, and the year of 1884 was when golf was being introduced to the US. A bit of a guess, but when I thought of it, it made total sense. I had ...

Is 98% correct for "Ice rink" the all-time record? It couldn't be too far off. I couldn't believe it got an average score as high as 0.5. (In my case, I got a '1' on it since my opponent must have seen 'Carnegie' right in my profile and figure that one was a gimme, too.) I gave it a 2, my opponent ...

I only missed Luxemburg Friday, after narrowing that down to Lux, Liechtenstein, and France/Frantz. I went with Frantz because, although I understand that they are homophones, the thought that just leaving out the o was what made it a homophone struck me as odd. I play a lot of poker, tata I first h...

11% on Newlywed Game? Probably the most surprised I've been in 14 seasons about a low get-rate. I suppose probably a lot of people snap answered TPIR and didn't go any further but Newlywed was the first thing I thought of, other than the dating game and those prizes felt not appropriate for that. I'...

Yesterday was the polar opposite from MD10 (5 rights, all instagets). 1 right, and a lost Koin flip on caballero/gaucho which hurt as it turned a tie into a 1(1) - 2(3) loss. NHO of Anna Freud, the play, or the Prince/Chappelle thing, which is funny in hindsight in that Prince stole the photo of Cha...

I haven’t bowled in like 30 years, so yeah, no I was kind of hoping for that....and I figured, despite your crap math score, that you would know that algebra was derived from arabic. Thanks to that I actually beat morbeedo, 6(5)- 4(4)! Defensive loss for me in my C Rundle 7(5)-8(5). I missed Godot ...

I remembered pastoral from a recent season (Season 81, as I later learned) to give me a classical music question. Didn't matter in my regular rundle as my opponent forfeited. I did get a 0 on a lit question in the JBoardlite rundle, that won't happen very often...I ended up with 4 right, missing the...

First bagel in 4 seasons yesterday, the only one I had a shot on was Geronimo but that name just didn't come to mind. My day: Q1. My kids were born in 2005 and 2008, so we missed the timeframe on this book despite going through hundreds of kids books between the 2 of them. Guessed penguins. Q2. Went...

I find questions like Q6 yesterday so hard to defend. Its a sports question that, at first glance, is hard as I certainly did not know the answer, but really ends up being, "Name an old famous yankee." My opponent was British and not great at sports, so that got the 3. Of course, he named the correc...

Lol - I put caviar for the Jell-O question! That was way off Changed IL/IN to IN/KY for the Monopoly board I had the same answer, played so much but couldn't remember which one was by itself....also had O'Harris for O'Higgins. I knew it was something like that from playing geoguessr and noticing O'...
