I made a quick stop at Robert (not Roy!) Indiana's LOVE (he lived on an island in Maine we visit frequently), and then the Big Apple and finally just said Apple to be on the safe side. I wouldn't think of that as a logo. The revised version looks like an MRI of my heart after Covid.

I believe we also played the Juno course at St. Andrews ... etc, etc.

So, what is your handicap?

Anyone else slightly bothered and thrown off by Battlestar Galactica being abbrev. as BSG and not BG? I've seen it abbreviated that way before. Plus the category didn't specify that anything would be strictly abbreviated to initials. BSG is the correct abbreviation for the new series. Is there some...

Bryce. Certainly. Has ... a ............. style.

Playing off the archive, Augusta for which course hosts The Masters is at the very least a BMS as the course is called Augusta National. Furthermore, behind #12 you can see the 9th fairway of neighboring Augusta Country Club. Two totally different courses. If you just say Augusta nobody knows which...

Is it a triple stumper if initially ruled correct and then changed at a break? When Lisa mangled Dostoevsky I was ready get it on a rebound. I'd say by definition, if a correct answer was not given on the show, it's a triple stumper (as opposed to a stand-and-stare when no one buzzes in). It's impo...

Finally catching up and surprised to see no mention of the captioning goof on the Bradbury response (first Nebula Awards category clue) which was captioned as "Who is Brad Berry?" (or should that have been "Who is Brad Barry?" :D ). That, among other errors, prompted my comment in the next day's th...

Anyone else notice that the closed captioning has gone downhill? Until recently, they caught every nuance including mistakes by the contestants. Now, it seems like they don't even know what the response means. Kind of a bummer. Why would I turn captioning on? I always have it on anyway. And for Jeo...

Bobby Brown, former New York Yankee who was also a cardiologist, has died at 96. He also served as president of the American League when it was a real job. Oh no! He was client of mine for one of my most fun projects when he was president of the AL. He was a really nice guy. He got me tickets to th...

Couldn't pull DAESH for the life of me, so went for a BWA of ABFAB.

I'll just pile on and say it was exactly the kind of FJ I don't enjoy seeing. Nothing interesting whatsoever about it. And Dr. Oz got even worse, not better, in my book. Ugh.

He did better than I thought he would, but I'd put him down as a big 'meh'. I guess we'll see with more shows.

New volcanic eruption in Iceland just 20 miles from Reykjavik (and even closer to the airport at Keflavik): https://www.vox.com/2021/3/20/22341888/ ... -reykjavik

Yes, but it's a very well-behaved volcano.

If you're a slave to social media, Mike gets the edge, as both Katie and Ken are known off-set for their individual worldviews that offend various potential viewers. On-set, however, neither Katie nor Ken evinced anything other than nonpartisan respect for the game and the players. If you're hoping...

Also, how the f*** did neither the contestant nor phone a friend know Watson and Crick?!?!

IIRC, he was a nurse, so he has medical training, too.

Pick the order from best to worst.

How do you think Katie did as host?

I went with Billy Elliot, figuring that actors must age out of the lead role, so there is a lot of turnover.
