At least it only cost me 5 points, if I had picked the lowest response I knew (A Clockwork Orange).

And all of the water is in Maryland. Because, as I was told by a Virginian, "Virginia is a cheapskate state and it sold off all the water to Maryland for some money many years ago."lindap wrote: ↑Wed Jun 28, 2017 7:53 pm I hate to nitpick but I'm not sure why my answer was marked incorrect.

I almost did a wise-ass move and said Mt. Washington Maryland because I once worked for the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the Mt. Washington neighborhood of Baltimore. Not sure if that would have flown though.

Re: TD 347 - Potpourri 100 (Q1 - Q8 revealed)
I went back and checked the ones that I have hosted - some have hit 6 sheep in 10 questions (although those all included at least 1 co-sheep) and one went 5 for 10 without any co-sheep. I would not be surprised if I have come close to those marks with one of my entries.

Well, as fun as this game is, I have no sense yet of what other people are going to answer! I judged Tubby Smith as being much more difficult to pull than Adam Smith!
