WAG, but I figured, firth makes it Britain (yes, Scotland specifically, but I was thinking waters more than land), JPJ was a nuisance in those waters, it's better than nothing. Maybe there was some naval battle. Never would've considered he was born there.

Re: Reretaken Down

Actor Ryan O'Neal, age 82. Probably best known for Love Story , for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Academy Award. Next week's winning O'Brien's Pub Quiz team is going to have a wealth of names to pick from. I bet the winner is something like "Death Means Never Having to Say Y...

Re: Reretaken Down

It takes a special kind of group think ignorance to be that incompetent in assembling an In Memoriam segment. And the worst part is it was one of the -better- ones in recent history... Things I look for: No lyrics (which it mostly did, and it wasn't over any pictures I believe) Shows an example wor...

Re: LL 100

The basketball question was a real Slumdog Millionaire moment, a few weeks ago walked into the brewery and I saw basketball being played and the Real Madrid logo on screen. I was very confused and then a few searches later, I wasn't.

I wasn't familiar with it as Fleetwood Mac, but I knew Miley covered it and gambled based on the lyric.
