Interesting that nobody thought of John Paul Stevens for the Supreme Court question. Not surprised, however, as he was relatively low-key in his last years on the court.

Sheeping two in a row. Not bad.

The game is now closed on my side of America, so I'm assuming it should be safe to post. For the sake of caution, however, I'll use spoilers.

Spoiler

I went with larynx instead of bronchi, and said Diehard instead of Die Hard. I don't know if that counts as a neg.

Tom Daschle and Trent Lott co-wrote a new book which I really like, if you're into that sort of stuff. It's called Crisis Point, and it basically focuses on the time where they shared leadership of the Senate.

First game today went surprisingly easily. Up against Renz-HotzA today. I got [redacted].

I don't think they've ever had anyone from Fox on the show. Megyn Kelly would've been a great selection.

I would like to see Benedict Cumberbatch, for some weird reason.

Chuck Todd & David Gregory - I watch MTP on a semi-regular basis, so knew these two well. SE Cupp, Anderson Cooper, Kate Bolduan - Seen them on CNN's primaries coverage. Jonathan Franzen - I read The Corrections and didn't like it. Haven't read Freedom because of it. Michael Steele - Our local congr...

Also, Arjav, while I don't know who any of your rundlemates are, you will have people who are at least occasional boardies and/or have been on the show in your rundle in LL70, no matter which rundle you get placed in unless there's an anomaly with the promotions and relegations. Wonderful! Thanks a...

Sorry to hear about what you've been going through, and hang in there. it'll all be okay.

R Badlands 1, anyone?

I had a perfect game until I guessed Hoover on FJ, and turned out I was off by 3 years. I was under the impression that MLK was in '67, but I guess not.

Anderson Cooper mixed up Alexander Haig and Colin Powell. That just underscores the need to bring back Seniors Week.

I couldn't through The Corrections, and I'm a pretty dogged reader.

Better than Tom Friedman.

She's still alive?

Are we sure TPH isn't Donald Drumpf [note: I have Drumpfinator installed. sorry.]? He gets advice from people who knows what they talk about, and instead just hoes with his own limited experience. I always thought one of our own could be president. I didn't think it'd be TPH. I'm pretty sure TPH is...

Thanks again!

Quick question -- how long does it usually take for the emails? Should I have received mine by now?

41 years ago today, Sikkim officially abolished its monarchy and was annexed by India, per the results of a referendum from a few months earlier.

There's also Anderson Buzzer Systems, which many quizbowl teams purchase for both practice and bringing to tournaments. You should be able to order a "hand-held button with cable" for $12, which should be good enough.

My first guess on FJ was Tom Daschle before I remembered he ran for re-election in '04 (he had been making noises about running that year). McGovern was an instaget after that. Congrats to Jason on a pretty impressive win, and to Jill and Kaberi for putting up some pretty impressive performances non...

The 3rd party quiz -- finally a use for all of my reading through the years!

EDIT: With his new Radiohead-themed quiz, Keith Williams has now attained the title of "best boardie ever". However, of course, I might be wrong.
