Re: Learned League 89 - May/Jun '21
For the Driving Miss Daisy question I knew it was a southern city, so naturally I had Atlanta under consideration. But I went with Savannah. Same here. My recollection of the movie is the scenery being more rural than how I'd picture Atlanta. I also considered New Orleans due to the "Parade&qu...

Re: Learned League 89 - May/Jun '21
MD3 got me my 3rd 9(6) ever. Feeling pretty good about it until this morning when I see my opponent got it as well. Seven of us in my C rundle got all 6 which has to be unusual for C. Specifically for me and my opponent though, we both have east Asian last names, and 3 questions that day were geared...

Just moved up to C for the 2nd time. First time I got bashed right back down to D. Let's see if I can stay up here for more than 1 season.

Re: The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)
Then it said he made his first presidential decisions in a dimly lit cabin. That suggests it was someone who took office at a time other than Inauguration Day. And right here is where you lost me. Where does the president work? In the White House. A newly inaugurated president would be making their...

Sure wonder why Jean decided to go almost all-in on FJ wagering, when her chances of snagging the win were right up there with my chances of being voted Miss America. But I guess it's her extra thousand bucks to piss away, not mine, so go for it. This unreasonably pissed me off. Wasn't it a lock ga...

Another Notre Dame here. I was unaware that the Louvre was that old. I'm 0/3 in FJs this week for the first time in a while. I also didn't think the Louvre was that old. For some reason Notre Dame completely slipped my mind, so I went with Versailles from my couch. When I saw Notre Dame, I thought ...

Do you know anything about the book? I've never read it, saw the movie once, but only one of the sisters fits the category. It's one of those things that comes up all the time, yet no information about it has ever managed to stick. I think it's because with some things, so many facts come up so oft...

Teaching the Sport was a quick 0/5 for me. Any reason I should know that pitch at $200 was a fastball?

Re: Learned League 85 - Official Thread
I am surprised that Westminster didn't play easier, as I thought that there would probably be a lot of LLamas who have traveled to (and live in or near) London. When I saw the question, I'm like, "I didn't even know London had boroughs" despite having visited there for one day. When I saw...

Re: GOAT Tournament Day 1 (1/7/20) Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Something else I thought of is the fact that in a regular game, when it's late-stage DJ and second place can prevent a lock but third place can't, whether first place has a lock is usually irrelevant to third place's chances of winning.* But under those circumstances in this format, if the player i...

Re: Thursday, April 16, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
But likewise, I agree with MarkBarrett's assessment on this, if Nibir were to somehow blow this $21,000+ lead, that would be a travesty. It's going to have to come down with Tyler or Xiaoke getting hot on the buzzer and hoping that in some way, Nibir struggles. We'll just have to wait and find out ...

I mentally facepalmed when the player from Princeton either missed or ignored every clue directly or peripherally related to Princeton and the Ivy League. And when the sophomore from Texas didn't get the one about sophomores, or Texas. I thought the sophomore did get the question about sophomores.

Hemant and I (and clt) auditioned in Milwaukee last November. There's a good shot of us on the Jeopardy special with Michael Strahan.
Well, it's a good shot of him. I'm not sure why I'm so frowny.
