:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :| :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :| :( :mrgreen: stupidly said Gershwin for Porter, was distracted slightly but didn't suss Martha Washington, and stupid of stupids, said Seneca when I know damn well who Sequoyah was and w...

I know damn well what a ramekin is and thought of it immediately, but the non-characteristic k in a romance language game me enough pause to drive me to cocotte. Which is almost as good. Almost.

Got the win yesterday 8(5)-6(4) but my opponent did get the math question right, despite math being her second to worst category. I can't say the term "twin primes" sounded familiar at all to me. Very surprised Mersenne Primes wasn't the MCWA. That's certainly what I put down. Can't say that in all...

Instaget FJ. I didn't realize it was released in 1700; for some reason I thought it was older. "Don't say St. Louis, don't say St...damnit". The Pony Express/St. Joseph connection strikes again. When's the last time a contestant got that right? ~22 years doesn't sound reasonable to you? Hardly. The...

What other 1800s poetry collection could it be besides Leaves of Grass? I did have to read the question a couple times to get the hint. Wow. I totally didn't catch that the newer reference was potentially in English. I assumed they were both Japanese works. Nice get. And yeah, Whitman was what clue...

A Greek-derived compound related to reptiles was so obviously "amphibian" to me that I never had a chance. Even more related to reptile is the Greek-derived compound word herpetology. I haz a sad. Yeah...herpetology=sounds good. Go with it. Then I failed to RTFQ on the Romanov. Put a country with a...

Full or pull. Thiiis close. No chance for me on crap sitcoms aimed at kids. Don't tell anybody.

Guess it's hard to make Hamlet G-rated. My first MCWA of the season. Hate it when that happens.

You know how there's that question every once in a while where you see the results and wonder "how the heck does everyone other than me know this?" That was the UBI question for me on Friday. Even after seeing the answer it wasn't something that rang a bell for me. Weird. I didn't know it either, b...

With the explosive growth of the league from 5000 to 15,000 in the last few seasons, I also expect there to be many under 30 players, making it the wrong era for them to know about Van Doren. Big time game show fan here, and loved the movie Quiz Show, but I missed it. I wonder if there's a way to s...

The man in the white t-shirt is reddpen. Unless, of course, since I don't know armandillo, he is reddpen's identical twin.

Not that it matters to anything but Jason's win total, but Postal Service should not have been accepted. The US Postal Service is post-1970 only; before the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 it was always the US Post Office Department. Nit, but smaller nits have mattered. But we don't know for sure...

My plan going in was to do whatever it takes to get the lead, by being quick but cautious on the buzzer, hunting for daily doubles, and betting medium to big when I find them. I'd say it worked. :) I was wondering if you might be one of the first contestants to play after James Holzhauer's games be...

In my pinball heyday, when I could sink a quarter into a machine at Rooter Russell's Rendezvous in Arcata, CA, and play til dawn, while giving away free games to anyone who wandered in and wanted one, I had a definite hierarchy of companies. Gottlieb were by far the best made and most interesting pl...

I'm a little chagrined at being unable to bring forth Mbeki, though I had Zuma right off. I am not one tiny iota upset by having no clue whatsoever with the Kenny G question and proud to say I could not have told you a single song title associated with said 'artist', a descriptor which might seem to...

Hmm, yeah, my mind's map had Norway a little further west than it is. I hate when that happens.

I'm curious though; aside from the fact that Spain is the answer, is there some detail that eliminates Emma's--and my--response of Norway from consideration?

You guys think compost is a condiment? You are NOT invited to the potluck.

Seattle, 44, unless they accept Figaro for The Marriage of Figaro. Not holding out much hope for that.
