Wheelhouse week for Goats; been swimming in Klamath, graduated UVA Cum Laude (principal lifetime achievement, none since!), instaget emojis against all odds and Brazzaville <> KInshasa on the Congo 'twin cities' is prime geography buff stuff. Getting Condi (gave 'Augusta golf club') was pure luck; happened to notice it on TV news a few years back which I usually doze through! :lol:

Another for Mandarin ORANGES. Should be a survey IMHO! Gave Margaret Chase Smith from MASS not MAINE and my dad laughed at me:

"Gosh Goatman, here I thought you knew all these characters! She's from Maine son." This 84 y/o guy can tell you every principal actor & actress from most Hollywood films between 1938 and 1978. Once I asked, hey Dad, how do you REMEMBER all that stuff?! "Because I saw them once. I stopped going to movies after Star Wars. Nothing worth paying ten bucks to sit in a dark room with a gang of strangers since then, boy!"
LOL @Dads, how do they DO it?! :roll:

I don't like bumping these threads after the weekend following the polled FJs is over, but I want to document my results as long as the polls don't name the voters, and I didn't like having to admit (and explain why) I ran out of time on the Tuesday FJ before giving a response. I think if I had been on the show I would have said the University of Virginia, but I dismissed it at home becauseI was worried that only "[x] State" universities would count as state schools. It was stupid.

Friday the best I could do was "Washington, DC Country Club."
