Tue - Kinsella
Fri - 'bad water'

*Daffodil...

Monroe for July 4th, because when he died on that day, no other former US President died with him...turns out that was five years later.

The FJ! clue had me stay away from the Mississippi. While still on the river kick I was not sensing the Missouri. Taking vast body as real vast I went down and wrote Amazon. Even if the clue had told me what kind of body of water I still doubt I solve it in time. Nice work by the gentlemen to give ...

(I just ran across this cover this morning. Bonus essay question: Identify the design flaw in Miss Grundy's wheel.) "Class dismissed" has four pegs instead of three. Didn't even see that, but the real flaw is that the flag indicating the "winning" space can stop on a space betwe...

I am notorious for making silly math errors (that, despite having more math edumacation than anyone I know who wasn’t a math major) so I should be the last to throw shade about a math error. What tormented me was that both answers came out to 6. How dare TAI do that to us! :mrgreen: Spent so much t...

George Santos, SI's Sportsperson of the Year, has been expelled from the House of Representatives https://www.salon.com/2023/12/01/114-vote-against-expelling-george-santos-after-colleague-claims-he-stole-from-his-mom/ The House voted 311-114 with two members voting present to make Santos just the si...

Somehow, I almost solved the latitude question through geography and math. Stockton is about a California's distance away from Canada, (I don't know how I know this; alternatively, my brain was gaslighting itself...) but 800 miles from the 49th parallel, let's guess 100 mi for one degree. That feels...

$14,000, insta FJ

I'd have to be spotted "Led Zepp" to get that clue...

Now yesterday's over I can say my -first- thought was penguin Scarface at the desk, but for obvious reasons had to come up with something different

Please post results here!

Not really motivated to, since a single query on one of those burns down like, 800 trees...

It seems to have tripped people up (which will be an even lower percentage).

But only some people, not everyone

https://thetakeout.com/why-mackerel-fish-is-prison-currency-sam-bankman-fried-1851049253 WSJ explains that mackerel has become the favored currency since the cigarette ban. Pouches of the fish, available for purchase at the prison commissary, are often as good as cash. One inmate put it this way: Ma...

Tue - A-Team; didn't make the connection to Rupert. (I also thought Murdoch Mysteries but that one's too obscure and stupid answery)

Thought of both make do and makeshift and made clam instead.

While I was surprised to find Buckaroo Banzai a TS ("why is there a watermelon there?"). Just as I was surprised that nobody fell for the obvious trap of "Tenacious D" for the first clue in the category. I doubt anyone ever referred to Tenacious D as a "young band." Ky...

If the season keeps up like this, I'm gonna miss B... you don't get to make three mistakes and a BWA attempt in A and still pull a win. Not sure which one I'm kicking myself over more: Well Tuned Clavier or Rope. (Mongolia for Korea is one of my more typical mistakes and isn't worthy for self-flagel...

Normally a British cabinet reshuffle wouldn't merit mention here, but I think this one does on account of who's involved: Former Prime Minister David Cameron was appointed UK Foreign Secretary by current PM Rishi Sunak. Cameron returns to politics after seven ( not entirely incident free ) years aw...

Wed - Rushmore (very WAG)

Seen both Liberty Bell and Jefferson Memorial

Yeah, sometimes the algorithm screws up and gives itself away...
