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...

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...

What is 1888?

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, ...

I was reading an article about a guy who tried to ship himself in a crate from Australia to London back in 1965. It had this sentence, "the stowaway was sent home to London on a plane - this time in the cabin." Imagine if that had said "a cabin". It would sound completely off, right? Bad English. I...

What was with the British Labor party clue? Brandon answered 'Labor', and hearing crickets, specified "The Labor Party". The writers should have had that on the card as a good answer. *cough* Labo u r *uncough* The sheet would likely have had "Labour Party" as opposed to "Labour (Party)", but this ...

Also - who the hell knew that horses needed Selenium? What do they do with it? And why doesn't Mongolia have it? All the other good stuff (lithium, rare earths) is in China.

I was pleasantly surprised at Aaron Rodgers’s ability as a host, though that hairdo put me in mind of Michael Beschloss at times. FJ had my wife thinking of Alex Trebek until I pointed out the category. I got to Fred Rogers quickly and couldn’t think of any response I liked better. My wife and I al...

This is what I had on the catcher clue:

I'm watching on YouTube TV on KABC in Los Angeles.

Came in fine for me, catcher and next clue call. Also KABC. I do watch OTA, though, maybe it was a cable/satellite hiccup?
