Take $20 and go sit at a bar. Listen to the orders and watch what the bartender puts in the drinks. Read the drink menu! It often notes ingredients. No matter how many times you do this, or at what time of the day, as long as it is for your education you are NOT a degenerate reprobate.Elijah Baley wrote:You do leave the house once in a while, right?TenPoundHammer wrote:Scattering?!seaborgium wrote:Something on Earth that's blue because of scattering.TenPoundHammer wrote: I couldn't even decipher what NASA for $200 was saying.

Welp, I freely translated the FJ clue to "under the wind," put 2+2 together (French + Spanish) and quite confidently answered Balearics. FAIL. Buzzy complements some good gets with intelligent wagers for the most part (too timid on his DD wagers though).

My brain just wasn't firing on all cylinders yesterday and for some reason I was convinced the "vent" in FJ was leading to volcanic islands. I had it narrowed down to the Galapagos and the Hawaiian Islands and flipped the coin on the former. And I know "vent" is wind in French, it just blew right over my head.

If that's too complicated, you can ignore the scattering part and try to answer something on Earth that's blue that Pluto also has.TenPoundHammer wrote:Scattering?!seaborgium wrote:Something on Earth that's blue because of scattering.TenPoundHammer wrote: I couldn't even decipher what NASA for $200 was saying.

Another trip to Trebekistan...I never heard that variant two weeks ago, but it was practically on a loop when I was in HI.Archivists wrote: Buzzy: Yep. So we find songs for commercials or write songs for commercials.
Alex: Now there was a marvelous--I can't even remember what the commercial was, but the Hawaiian singer who sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". And don't ask me to pronounce his name off the top of my head right now. But that's the kind of thing you would select.
And the problem with that is...? I could say the same about Country Music categories. I don't, but I could.TenPoundHammer wrote:Last Link in the Drink was ridiculously YEKIOYD.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Bruddah Iz's recording of Over the Rainbow was a hit about a dozen years ago, possibly as a result of being used in s number of tv shows and movies. It's a beautiful piece.Volante wrote:Another trip to Trebekistan...I never heard that variant two weeks ago, but it was practically on a loop when I was in HI.Archivists wrote: Buzzy: Yep.

His version in 50 First Dates got me looking into his music which I am now quite into. Facing Future is a tremendous album. Still can't pronounce his last name though!brick wrote:Bruddah Iz's recording of Over the Rainbow was a hit about a dozen years ago, possibly as a result of being used in s number of tv shows and movies.

This clip of the announcement of his death on local TV includes the correct pronunciation several times.

Oh, and it's all the same recording. He died in '97.
