Thanks, Mam! I came to the forums a couple of weeks ago, looking for reactions to my first game, which I didn't get to see because of the blackout. I saw that you had been rooting for me from Portland, so I was glad at least someone around here saw it live. I'm a relative newcomer to these parts; moved here ten years ago, so I didn't go to high school locally.Welcome, Emily! Nice win in the previous game! (I graduated from Middletown High, so I was rooting hard for you.) And thank you for pronouncing the Mel Brooks movie title correctly.
Instaget on FJ for me... but I'm a bit of an English history junkie, and wound up studying economics, so I'm somewhat decent on business history type stuff. And I too was wondering what Alex had been smoking when he mentioned Gorbachev...
My mom took a couple of classes specifically in the history of insurance, and she said she would never have gotten FJ as written. I knew my response was wrong, since the Mermaid Tavern was much older than the given year, but it beat the pants off of "What is...I've got nothing?" or "What is a company not founded in my kitchen?"
