I think she was writing "hegira". Makes sense for a word for a journey from the Arabic.

I filled out the application when the casting call first went out, but I filled out an application via a casting service before I saw the one Leszek had linked to. I hope that doesn't torpedo my chances of being selected.

British singer Dame Vera Lynn has died at the age of 103. Also, Lawrence Ferlinghetti turned 101 in March. With creativity, he could be used to fill a category as well. But maybe an FJ clue would be the best fit here. He had one in 2004 (double get, 1 miss) so it's been a while. :evil: :evil: :evil...

Describing the film as a "psychological thriller" led me completely away from the right answer. (I would have described it as a "nihilistic garbage fire", but that's just me.) I also had no idea it had made quite that much money. I also put the RAND Corporation instead of Ford. Film is normally my b...

I recognized Ahmet Ertegun and Jann Wenner, but I convinced myself it was something to do with an AIDS charity.

The Academy Awards ceremony, which has in the last 10 years or so has been held in February, will be held on the last Sunday in April in 2021 due to COVID-19. The deadline for eligibility for next year's awards will also be extended until the end of February 2021.

I thought that I had a good guess for the duet singer (Luther Vandross) but Peabo Bryson never even crossed my mind. I lost the Kosman flip between Bryson and Aaron Neville. Only got two correct yesterday: Ireland and chanterelle and chanterelle was really just an educated guess. My singer Koin's w...

I chuckled a bit on Kelly's mispronunciation clue when Alex mispronounced the correct answer, too. (Daniel Kaluuya is pronounced kah-LOO-yah, not kah-LOO-you-ah.)

Totally surprised they accepted "colors" without BMS'ing it.

"showing one's colors" and "showing one's true colors" are both acceptable versions of the same idiom.

Thanks to all who informed me about Viking river cruises.

To be fair, I remember being at an airport and talking with a lady who was flying to Vienna for a cruise, which initially confused me until I later remembered about river cruises.

A river cruise line sponsored a Clue Crew trip to a landlocked country with a nice big river running right through it.

Possibly from a Robert Langston movie?
Who?

Robert Langdon, the main character of The Da Vinci Code et al.

Yeah, I've missed this enough times to finally get it today. It's a perfect example of Jeopardy Canon, a fact that they love, especially for FJ, that they go to the well for over and over. Same. Apparently Lawrence's death helped lead to the invention of the motorcycle helmet. https://www.youtube.c...

They had to expect "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". The film has been solicited that way on video for many years. You would be hard-pressed to find any modern video release of it without that title on the box.

Prussia is what I ended up on, but I would have thought it had disappeared circa WWI. I also found the word "abolished" puzzling, but that's apparently what happened.

For the record, the MIT press release about the project refers to is as "desalination". It describes the mechanism as "essentially a multilayer solar still, with a set of evaporating and condensing components like those used to distill liquor." https://news.mit.edu/2020/passive-solar-powered-water-d...

Plus, Pat's is one of the most famous cheesesteak restaurants in Philadelphia. (The Pat's vs Geno's rivalry is a big thing.)

8 of the 14 matches is A Magnolia yesterday were 9(6)-9(6) ties. I keep waiting for the drop, like in an EDM song.... The overall qpct is .578 - about .1 higher than the historical average. Good (but mortal) quizzers and boardies like FrankJ, FrumkinJ and myself have gaudy scores normally put up by...
