no way on Earth I'm getting opal out of that DD.

On the flip side, I got it solely from the photo.

My copy of The Bartender's Black Book lists the drinks in all caps, so I'm not chirping in on that one.

I usually do really well on Batman Villain categories. I played some of the Batman games (Arkham Asylum/Arkham City) and they were very good. They also introduce you to all the villains as bosses so you learn them very easily. Egghead wasn't in those games and Adelie didn't come up. Missed the peng...

Well, you can't dispute it based on the length criterion, but I'd be curious what people think about the 'most filmed' part. There's enough Hamlets that MST3K even spoofed one. (It's the full bit so...gray area, but you get four versions spotted for you before the first door sequence) https://www.y...

"V" seems early in the alphabet for an "alphabetically last" clue. I thought of the Yazoo, which was part of the Vicksburg campaign. It is in fact a national wild life refuge, though Yukon beats it for alphabetically late. Another yahoo here who said Yazoo. I agree V is a bit early, a Civil War men...

Rodgers even managed to slip in a '[be ]more specific'

At this rate, I'm going to miss the big lug when the week ends...

Orion instaget! Then I changed to Sagittarius. :oops: That San Diego clue was an example of one that was poorly pinned. Nothing at all about San Diego. You had to know about the fictional character Ron Burgundy. I wonder if the writers aren't conferring as much with each other during covid. I read ...

Is the Domesday Book pronounced the way Dennis gave? I pronounced it how it appears to be spelled...

Yep, properly pronounced, it's "Doomsday". Going phonetic won't get you dinged on J! tho.

I recently learned of the "candy" in American Food...$800 when I received this picture as an advertisement. My question: Who's buying this?? At best, it looks like he's peddling sea monster parts... :roll: It's just salmon jerky... Hey, I didn't say anything about the guy... ;) Whatever it is, it's...

It's just salmon jerky...

I went the easy route and picked Australia. Ditto Tritto The weird thing is I remember seeing this question not too long ago (like...days ago) somewhere...

Damn Porsche. Makes me feel better about my new BMW with their weird alphanumeric names. N.B.

Right-handed pitcher Joe Musgrove threw a no-hitter on April 9 against the Texas Rangers. It is the first no-hitter ever by a Padres pitcher. I'm not absolutely certain about this, but I believe the San Diego Padres were the last remaining MLB team never to record a no-hitter in franchise history. ...

It's too bad they discontinued 151. It was the strongest alcohol you could buy in California and I've gotten to make some special drinks with it. Too many people getting alcohol poisoning and suing the company I suppose. Allegedly, it was because 151's easily flammable, but there's never been an of...

Of all the years from 1 AD to present, its Roman numeral representation contains the most letters.

Literally: I forgot the '1'

Disappointed we didnt get to the last Tv Song Clue. i Knew Buenos Aries was 1, couldnt think of the other 2. ended up with Montevideo too. IDK why i couldnt think of Lima or Bogota. Anyone have a better option for a top box other than "Soft Kitty"? I agree that The Simpsons "Monorail Song" is a goo...

I got the Tyler Durden clue. I'm not sure if Volante made a Fight Club reference in yesterday's thread or if he was only making a grammar comment. Maybe both.

(Yep, it was a Fight Club reference)

It was a dig in the sense that it, in the football world, might be an indication that LaFleur doesn't have full confidence in his abilities. That simply isn't possible. It was 100% LaFleur making the wrong call. Rodgers completed 70.7% of his passes for nearly 4300 yards, with 48 TD and 5 -- yeah, ...
