The Stop & Shop chain has announced plans to merge with the A & P stores. New outlets to be known as "Stop & P."

My employer and job are classed as "essential", so Covid-19 has had little impact on my job except traffic on my commute is a lot less. Some of my job I can do from home, but much of it requires me to be in the office. I know nobody who has had it. I wear masks in public in accordance with the prom...

Pretty much everybody in the medical profession, along with county/state health officials, are unanimous in recommending the simple three-step recommendation (while we wait for a vaccine and/or effective treatment to come along) for limiting and eventually stopping the pandemic: Wash and sanitize yo...

Are they African or European chickens?

You, sir, listened to too many episodes of "Car Talk."

My wife decided to buy chickens. She is hoping she doesn't end up with a rooster. She said the lot of birds the store gets their supply from claims 80% are hens. Since she bought 4 birds, I think the odds are 625:1 that one of them is a rooster. Am I correct? Trying to dust the cobwebs off this par...

Oh, Alex...I have a feeling Oprah has praised other women authors in the 6 years since Maya Angelou passed - maybe even other ladies who've died besides Toni Morrison... :roll: Oprah has championed many writers in her career, but I think the stronger link that we were supposed to remember, and to w...

I couldn't remember which one of Toni Morrison or Alice Walker had died. I picked the wrong one.

Thank you. For a long moment here I thought I was the only one who thought about Alice.

That was painful watching Jennifer throwing away $1000 of real money. FJ never said stab wounds; it said puncture wounds -- I was initially thinking Jesus, dismissed that, and fell into Caesar pretty quickly. Uh, spoiler alert! If you read the gospels beyond the story of the crucifixion, you learn ...

I got eleven of these, should have gotten tumbrel, and took just a couple of seconds too long to dredge up Sean Penn. Not quite enough for a 4th podium win, because somehow the champ managed a very respectable score through two rounds despite all the TSs. I stood and stared at FJ for probably 10 sec...

Seriously, how many famous people have died from twenty-three stab wounds?

I knew Caesar was stabbed in the forum. Also the abdomen, shoulder, and thigh.

So it appears that Jennifer threw away $1k in FJ in a blatantly obvious situation for absolutely no reason? Correctamundo. Essentially zero chance that Zach will Clavin, so there is essentially no reason for Jennifer to wager anything, certainly not more than $5,399. Maybe for her trouble she will ...

"Self-denial" was accepted. How is "self-discipline"?

I like that better! Self-deprivation also works.

I agree. "Self-discipline" is a much better response.

Q: What's the fastest animal on earth?
A (they always say): The Cheetah!

...to which the answer is...no, it's the cow that's been pushed out of a helicopter.

(feel free to steal it; I did)

A whole new meaning for "terminal velocity".

Not to mention "ground beef."

I'm tired of the posing during the intros.

You and me both, dear.

Just a few thoughts on this game: 1) Damn, but Meggie looks unstoppable. She becomes my favorite to win this thing. b) Anyone else identify the source of the quote about reigning in hell vs. serving in heaven because of having seen the conversation between Khan Noonian Singh (Ricardo Montalban) and ...

I agree that there should have been a BMS on Hepburn. What gives, judges? However, the contestants made me a truly happy camper when all three placed FJ wagers exactly, to the dollar, what I told them to! I can't remember the last time---if ever---that that happened. Jong Ho can console himself (a b...

I am stunned that final Jeopardy was a triple stumper. I think all the FJ's were rather easy this week. What had me stumped was the wagering in FJ this week. Even if you know you might not win the game, don't you want to wager everything to have as high a point total as possible to make it to the n...

FJ had a couple tempting wrong answers. My thought process: 1. How am I supposed to know whether it's Ohio or Virginia? 2. Wait, there are only 15 presidential libraries? 3. Oh, only the most recent presidents have them! 4. What state are 3 of the last 15 presidents from? Beautiful deductive proces...

Danny Thomas named his hospital in honor of St. Jude, he did not give it to him. Thus it is not a possessive and St. Jude’s should be negged. I never would have thought that was the origin of the phrase but that was all I could come up with. I could swear a version of this clue has come up before a...
