I've said it before and I'll say it again regarding the best change that could be made. Play. Every. Clue. They have the ability to edit the result to fit their time constraints.

Be careful what you ask for; they might decide to chop off one column and have 50 clues a game.

FJ record: 191/228 (84%)
...great, I think I set too high a bar for myself next year.

A little late on this, but for Alex's birthday, the Cincinnati Reds' Twitter account used J!-themed fonts and answers throughout their game for the lineup & highlights.

Here's one for the judges...In Apollo Missions for $800, would V have been required or should Saturn be acceptable?

Saturn alone would get BMSed.

Bah, I knew it was one of those Nazis who escaped to Argentina but went with Mengele. I'm not closing this season out on a high note...

Mrs Penguin and I both figured FJ was referring to the Compleat Angler guy, but neither of us could pull his name.

I made it from there all the way to the first name (Isaak) but whiffed the surname with Singer realizing too late. Doubtful I could've gotten to the right surname...

I'll be interested to see how this FJ polls because I, too, thought it was a gimme until seeing several people here who whiffed on it. Even if you don't know Shirley Jackson has an award named after her (I certainly didn't), the rest of the clue seemed very much in the WECIB category. And I could s...

Nerts. I forgot to check J6 yesterday and they already have the categories up for today. Anyone recall the Boston movie clue? My guesses were

Laughing at the clue for the baseball commissioner and it using his initials.

Even better, that's his nickname. Balls from his era have "Allan H. Selig" as the signature.

Wasn't there a Shirley Jackson clue in either an FJ or DD not too many years ago? There was indeed: 20th CENTURY WOMEN AUTHORS Readers' letters to this author about her 1948 short story asked where the title event was held & if they could go & watch. http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=44...

I think what's been rubbing me the wrong way about this whole discussion is that comments seem to operate under the assumption that various parties aren't here, which there is no evidence for. Not that there's necessarily evidence for the opposite, but this isn't like an MLB forum where you wouldn't...

Another sneaker here, with faux-confirmation using that Redford/Aykroyd picture.

The last Volkswagen Beetle rolled off the assembly line in Mexico today.

But it was VW’s engineering lead, Ferdinan...

Ooh, got my first 5%ile in JI Money. 10/12 but I moneyed almost perfectly (and my just awful spelling of Khachaturian was somehow accepted)
