One question from Thursday's 80s edition of HQ: "Which TV show featured the catchphrase "I pity the fool"? Knight Rider The A-Team Neither Knight Rider 467 The A-Team 76,040 (correct) Neither 4,400 Maybe the closest in my life I can recall to feeling the Mandela Effect. As explained by Scott, the p...

Also I thought the plaintiff in brown V board was a girl: Linda Brown.

The suit was brought by multiple families with the named plaintiff being Oliver Brown, Linda Brown's father.

The travelogue so far: late april - NYC mid may - Atlanta mid may - Tampa late may - NYC early june - New Orleans (teen & adult) Mid June- Kansas City (teen) late june - Washington, DC (teen & adult) late june - Cleveland early august - Portland anything missing for stops since the 2018 test? Late ...

I believe I had a better correct answer than the writers. I considered Teddy Roosevelt but I was uncomfortable knowing that McKinley had died in September and Roosevelt leaving office in March wouldn't add up to 9 months. So I at the last second switched to Washington who took office on April 30th ...

:mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Instagets M-W-Th. Poland Tuesday. I've heard of the Peace Palace but didn't know its location. Westerbork is unfamiliar. Utter squadoosh Friday. Would have written down Target on the show but was absolutely sure they started in Minnesota and...

Despite shaky defense all season (.622 DE, 6th to last in my rundle, and 111 TPA, 4th to last), I finished first in C Taiga div 2 thanks mostly to my .747 Q%/112 TCA which brought my overall percentage to an even .700. Looking forward to the move up to B in August and hope to finally figure out how ...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: M-Tu-W were instagets. Went with Macbeth Thursday. Got Mozart off Vienna and dying in 1791 but had totally forgotten about that dumb poisoning theory. I know who Rochambeau was but might have clammed if the clue hadn't included the RP...

Instagets M-Tu-Th-F.
Knew Wednesday had to be Haydn but was unaware of the Surprise Symphony.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :( :( :mrgreen: Instagets Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Libra with some confidence Thursday. Madagascar with no confidence Friday. My suspicion the Ubu clue was playable from at least knowing the movie title seems to be proving out as it's currently leading among th...

Another with Libra. My seven week 5/5 drought continues. Cool to see a reference to Cleveland art punk greats Pere Ubu, despite the triple miss. It seemed gettable without knowledge of the song since it's titled for the WWII film of the same name. I'd like to put in a poll request for this clue, ple...

I was convinced when I first read the Webster question that "second-most (but definitely not first-most)" was a tease out pointing to The New England Primer but was unable to recall that book's author. I then regrouped and put together that grammar and spelling with "pioneering American author and e...

I've still barely heard of Portugal. The Man. So fun that rock groups are exploring punctuation these days...More colons!

Their debut was titled Waiter: "You Vultures!"

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( Monday came quick just thinking of famous Franklin quotes and D&T seemed to fit the durability requirement. Tuesday took about half the think music to work through well-known mustachioed characters and when I landed on Poirot, I quickly recalled Ch...

I'm playing in C Taiga division 2 after just missing out on promotion to B from my rookie rundle (messed up on my wagers on the final day and landed in third place off the MPD tie-breaker). This first match day gave me fits and I thankfully escaped with a win with some unexpected wagering from my op...

I received an invite yesterday for June 28th in St. Louis. This will be my first audition after having taken the online test four times.

One of these days we're going to get some love for sports video games on J!, right?

Gran Turismo is a sports video game.

Because I knew what went with 27 and 42 that left me no doubt what went with 33.  From there I either get all five right on the first try or for sure on the second try. I Had the same thought process of knowing outright 27 and 42 and being able to slot in 33. I initially had 47 and 54 reversed but ...

Do I have a historical blindspot, or was that Lucy Hayes clue quite difficult? The only way most know her name is from the "Lemonade Lucy" sobriquet. I'd say it's one notch easier than the most obscure First Ladies. It's an odd situation where, despite Rutherford B. Hayes occupying a low spot on th...

William and I would get along pretty well considering we both love art. Although El Greco was actually part of the Mannerism movement rather than the Baroque. Unless Mannerism is considered part of the Baroque movement, which I am unsure about. I raised an eyebrow at this too. Depending on personal...
