I think you should hold your breath until he apologizes.Austin Powers wrote: Well, I have to admit, I don't know exactly what you meant there, so maybe I can help things by being more clear: BADuBois is a consistently good contributor to this board, and there's no reason to be snippy to him about a mistake that's easy to make. I think you should apologize.

I sure couldn't. They divide into four categories for me:mbclev wrote:I wonder if these contestants could name all 11 people who played the Doctor. In chronological order, they are:
William Hartnell
Patrick Troughton
Jon Pertwee
Tom Baker
Peter Davison
Colin Baker
Sylvester McCoy

Christopher Eccleston
David Tennant
Matt Smith
1. Names I could come up with on my own: Tom Baker, Eccleston, Tennant, Smith
2. Names I would recognize as Doctors if you brought them up: Pertwee
3. Names I wouldn't immediately recognize, but if you said they'd played the Doctor, that would immediately ring a bell: Hartnell, Troughton, Davison, McCoy, McGann
4. Names that might cause me to embarrass myself by laughing at your "mistake" and saying, "you mean TOM Baker.": Colin Baker

It was at least kind of Jeffrey to wager on FJ to let her back in the game when he would have been safer keeping her locked out.John Boy wrote:Amen to that. For much of the early part of the game I wondered if Mark was planning to let the others play at all. I also wondered how bad of a runaway it would be. That was a most impressive comeback by Jeffrey, even if it didn't quite catch him up. He acquitted himself admirably. And yeah, Amanda may be a good player but the poor girl just got steamrolled by a couple of real powerhouses.skullturf wrote:Oh yes, and very good job by the attorney in the middle, making it close after Mark had a big lead early.

I just got done making a comic strip quiz on Sporcle. 75 strips, but no Prickly City. I've never even heard of it. Too bad, because it looks like fun.TenPoundHammer wrote:^ Prickly City, aka "the only political strip I enjoy". I remember a suburban family strip called The Buckets by the same guy.

From a quick look, maybe Dan Brodeur: http://www.j-archive.com/showplayer.php?player_id=2475 A teacher from CT, was second with 16,799 in December of 1997. (Very impressive in pre-doubled era!) And interesting... the eventual winner offered the tie - if he hadn't wagered to save a dollar, he would have been co-champion.MarkBarrett wrote: For figuring out Amanda's father does anyone want to try a search of "Connecticut" to look at all male losers who played in 1997 and had a "high" second place score. Of course pops could be from a different state. It may take the social media route to see if she has a maiden name? Or perhaps the hometown howdy would give a hint if that ever gets fixed?
