Guessed Mars, because I know it has several named features. I thought Pluto was booted out of the solar system about 10 years ago.

Status was demoted (and maybe reinstated?). Location hasn't changed.

I have a chess piece tattooed on my arm (not the malka or the reinha) so I wouldn't have forgiven myself for missing this one.

What about the macarena?

Rainha (right or wrong) led me to royalty because it seemed to be the similar to the Spanish word Rey (and I guessed Rainha was Portuguese). From there the feminine ending led me to queen. 2/3

Spanish for queen is reina. So good logic.

90s kids know that the real What Would You Do? was hosted by Marc Summers. John Quinones is an imposter!

I forgot about that show! My inner 90s teen (apparently I had just turned 13 when it came out) thanks you.

Didn't realize Faline was so obscure. Yes, I am a Disney nerd.

When i see the word "Dahomey" i sing "Namibia", then finish the Animaniacs Nations of the World song.

Did you get a chance to see Animaniacs Live in Arlington a few months back? It was a ton of fun.

That was a thing? No way! I would have!

Rats! I’m down to 33% on the FJ! clues as I went for the one alphabetically first. Unlike yesterday I expect some company on my miss. Nice job by the gentlemen to make the clue go 66%.

You do. I didn't have a way to tease it out so Atlantis=ocean location made more sense than anything else.

When I saw the word "Dahomey", I immediately began trying to remember whether it was Benin or Togo. As it turns out, matters were much simpler.

came home just in time for the final clue. No one remembered Ross Perot is from Texas?

That was really unexpected. The elder Ross Perot was born and raised in Texarkana, then moved to Dallas and raised his family here. The family's name is on our outstanding science and nature museum.

My 18 months expired last week. Nothing within driving distance, but maybe I'll do the 1.5 hour flight to New Orleans or St Louis. Apparently the 3rd time was not the charm, but the 4th time could be... I repeated the online qualifying exam two weeks after my 18 months expired, got "the call" about...

I was surprised to see a viral meme/game/challenge show up as a category. For those not familiar with The Floor is Lava, it started off as a children's game where someone yells out that the floor is lava and kids run around until they find a space above ground to escape. In the age of cell phones an...

Matchy-matchy was a favourite catch-phrase used by Stacy London and Clinton Kelly on "What Not to Wear". :lol: Wow. I had NHO matchy-matchy, and then the clarification provided three more NHOs in quick succession: Stacy London? Clinton Kelly? "What Not to Wear"?? I need to get out more. Unless it's...

Mom got Hermitage out before I did, but I'm counting it anyway (gotta love J! during the holidays!). Friday was an instaget, so I would have taken the time to write the whole thing out.

I saw the show last New Year's Eve so it's been on my mind. It is brilliant, no matter what your view on religion.

I see it on Learned League sometimes when an opponent has ART as the worst category. It’s one of those areas like opera that can be a nightmare for some people. Ben’s wager of zero has me wondering if ART was the last thing he wanted to see? The response of Guernica demonstrates he at least knows a...

Congrats Bobby! You had a clear strategy and strong gameplay, and I could feel your excitement. I am so happy for you

Used to live in Belize, so super instaget. Thought at least one or two would make the connection.
Always nice to see good wagering.

PhD in psychology, and I couldn't figure it out.

White Settlement is in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (barely). I wouldn't expect anyone outside DFW to have heard of it, unless they ran across the name at some point and were intrigued by it.
