I am first in the Maso rankings (TMP) and second in the Sandra rankings (DE) in my league... and currently sit in 6th, although 2 points out of third.

We tried the first four or five episodes of Schitt's Creek, couldn't stand it, and gave up on it. I don't get it either. I have not watched it myself, but I have heard from more than one person that it's one of those shows (like Parks & Recreation or the American Office ) where the show doesn't rea...

Did I notice that no network show won in any category? Is this the first year that's happened? This was the first year that no network show won an award on the main telecast, but only because fewer awards were given out there this year. SNL won the "best variety sketch series" award that usually is...

In addition to the series winning all seven awards possible last night, Dan Levy became the first person to win in four separate disciplines (producing, directing, writing, and acting) in the same year.

The title of the Arctic Monkeys album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" comes from Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.

There are only three possible sets of Buckner scores: 7(3)-6(5), 5(2)-4(4), and 3(1)-2(3).

I briefly considered Picasso, but thought it might be nebulous on his being a 20th-century artist, as he was born in 1881. Was more comfortable with Rivera.

A minor point that I think is neat but probably doesn't rise to the level of the other thread: Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor won an Emmy this year for their score for HBO's Watchmen . This puts both of them at 3/4 of an EGOT, each being a Tony award away from completing the four-award set. Dare we h...

We took a class trip to historic Fort Boonesborough in elementary school. I wasn't missing this one.

I completely missed the clue that the man's name was Coon. I thought that somehow the furry lobsters that John Hodgman has joked about were somehow real.

Third of four games (and four of seven) where I've lost 9(6)-7(5).

Remember that the Mid-season Classic is this weekend!

I am kind of mad at myself. My first instinct on the NBA question was, "oh, I've heard this before, this is Malone", but then I decided that wasn't right because I couldn't think of the other one besides Karl. Can't believe I forgot Mr. "Fo-Fo-Fo", Moses Malone. Ended up going with Johnson, hoping t...

I expected a much higher get rate on Q1 yesterday (anchor). I can see putting "pundit," which was the MCWA at 14%, but that plus anchor at 42% gives 56%. I wonder what the other 44% came up with? This one seemed like a WECIB? type question to me. I said "showrunner". "Applied by an executive to a c...

Hey all: I just indicated I would like to play in this as an individual, but in anyone would like to join me on a team, let me know!

I just registered as an individual as well - would be glad to be part of an all-boardie team.

11/8/5/8. Several bad coin flips cost me - I have trouble remembering which of the two Johns (Wesley and Knox) is Presbyterianism and which is Methodism; Windsor v Cambridge; Nyasa v Tanganyika. Went straight to cayenne without even considering any other capitals. Too specific in saying Stradivarius...

Is it possible they might follow the lead of the major sports leagues and tape new episodes without a studio audience? Someone posted this on Facebook (which had been received from a friend of theirs): "It was a great, but whirlwind experience (not to mention getting evacuated from our house the da...

Former Georgetown head basketball coach John Thompson has died at the age of 78. Thompson played college ball at Providence, and was drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1964, winning two championships with them before retiring in 1966 to pursue a career as a coach. He was named the head coach at George...

I figured Ali wasn't gettable without knowledge of the airport, but there was plenty of help if you read.every.word. If it mentions Louisville, KY, it's almost certainly Ali. True. The airport was only renamed for him last year, though. Before that, it was just called "Louisville International Airp...

Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has announced his resignation, citing an ongoing health issue regarding ulcerative colitis. Abe is Japan's longest-serving prime minister, in his fourth term. He has been in office since December of 2012 (three consecutive terms, with a previous term in 2006-07).

I am not a clam chowder person by any stretch of the imagination, so I just put New England, even though I pictured that as more milky/creamy than tomato-y. And I switched at the last second from Robert Mugabe to Ian Smith, who was the guy who was president of Southern Rhodesia from independence unt...
