I punted on the FJ, but if I'd tried to name ONE character it would have to be Iago or Yorick (and I don't know if Yorick is a character, and don't need to know lol). Yorick was a skull with zero lines. Not that my WAG of Macduff was much closer. 0 for 8 on FJ's, got a couple of DD's. I've had enou...

There was something on TV Back in the Day that had a Chicago zip mentioned all the time. Either 60601 or 60606. Can't remember if it was a show or an ad. But that is how I knew it instantly (besides knowing Chicago comes in at #3 nowadays). Some help, please? I have a recollection of a game show an...

Hi do any of you have a video link to a broadcast of last nights (12/25/19) game??

I couldn't find one and had to play this game from the Archive. Mark Barrett doing serious work!

Welcome, Robin! Best retroactive luck. Your presence should dial back some of the snark. Looks as though Jason got in exactly twice in DJ: on the first and last clues of the round. Has that ever happened before? Not that I expect an answer, but I'm continually amazed by what some folks here (looking...

After seeing my results yesterday, I thought, "One right--ouch! Bet that's only happened a couple times before." Then I looked through Past Seasons. Care to guess how far off that assessment was? It's now happened 14 times. Several matches back I was nearly a hundred points above my career get rate ...

Anyone else get hit in the feels when Alex read "I'm Dyin' Up Here!"?

Thanks for not making us ask, MNMyron.

ETA: Poll request for the Mammal Facts $1600 DD about marsupials. NHO a numbat till tonight.

The Amtrak conductors have always said Dowagiac as "duh-WAH-jack". Johnny had "DOW-a-jack". I grew up 30 miles from there and yes, it's 'Duh-WAH-giac'. Johnny butchered it so bad, I thought it was just some town I never heard of. We'll see if he gets it right tomorrow and I hope Jennifer doesn't ge...

NHO Triumph, Ducati, or "ultimate driving machine" for BMW, and didn't see the TOM for Kawasaki . That was an oddly tough Motorcycle category. the tom there is ninja...they are known for producing the ninja motorcycle Larger hint if far more dated was that for years beginning in the '70s, Kawasaki'...

Looks like "thorough" for "through" was a vanishingly rare J! typo in the albatross clue (DJ, Ends in "SS" $1600) from Rime of the Ancient Mariner . "At length did cross" this bird, "thorough the fog it came" 0/5 in Women of Science. I saw no way to figure out "engineering" in the first box. I belie...

LA, Sept 10, 46 on the test.... got the call in October, taped earlier this month!

Congrats! When is your (first) airdate?

I guess weekends are for hijacking game threads - the monte cristo club is where the cool people hang 8-) Any sandwich can be improved by dipping it in batter and deep frying it. I remember the first time I ate a monte cristo. All I could think of was what kind of sorcery is this? Taking a boring h...

I had nothing, and knew I was going to kick myself on the reveal. Couldn't pull it either. Add me to the parade of monks smacking their foreheads a la Monty Python and the Holy Grail . Julie from NYC missing St. John the Divine was surprising (when spotted St. John the Unfinished) Tried to visit so...

I got FJ immediately off "City of Light." When I flew through Buffalo's airport to visit Niagara Falls this past Labor Day weekend, I did a little research on Buffalo and learned that it had acquired that moniker due to being the first U.S. city with widespread electric lighting (which was powered ...

Here's Alanis's (dare I call it ironic?) version of "My Humps":

And here's the original from the Black-Eyed Peas, which... lacks subtlety:

I'll predict Emma, James, and after that last performance, Francois.

I'll predict the same three finalists. Most likely to break up the party: Dhruv and Lindsey.

That was a TOC FJ? I would expect that to be a trigger in a college tournament. Surprised at the number of posters who already said they missed it. :o maybe not all of us are tournament of champions material...never heard of that character before George Saunders as Shere Khan would like a word . (Y...

Surprised this hasn't had any activity, especially given the new season. But nonetheless, I made my own tier list: Diamond: James Holzhauer, Josh Hill, Emma Boettcher Platinum: Eric R. Backes, Steven Grade, Francois Barcomb Gold: Lindsey Shultz, Anneke Garcia, Kyle Jones Silver: Rob Worman, Alan Du...

Yas, 1979 is when Peking became Beijing. I seem to recall a brief interim period when it was Peiping, but maybe that didn't last long, or maybe that preceded Peking... or maybe it was only in, I dunno, Time or Weekly Reader . There's a pretty good explanation of the transliterations here , though n...

COLLEGE-POURRI $600: I rang in [on the Bowling Green clue] with Kentucky and was shocked to be wrong... or something like that.
