Re: FJs for the 9/11/17 week
Most of my FJ misses feel like I should have gotten them right afterwards, but Monday's was the rare one without even a blip on my mental radar.

More like the TenPoundHammer pile of "Clues That Were Written to Be Guessed Instead of Known and Hence Placed in the Top Row with All the Words but the One to Be Guessed to Help Jog the Memory and Encourage Guessing and Because Nobody Took a Guess It Must Be Perceived As Being Inordinately Difficult and Referred to by the Full Name Rather Than the Single Word for Which the Clue Was Prompting."TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 1:28 am "Power of Now" looks like it can join the Gigi Grazer pile of "Ridiculously Undervalued Top Boxes".

Re: FJs for the 9/11/17 week
Hi! Long-time lurker. Finally getting around to posting. Need to get my 3 posts in to prove I'm not a schmuck.
Season 34 started for me and I was a complete mess. Where is the geography? The presidents? The world capitals? The science stuff I know! I was afraid they had made a shift for Season 34. But we shall see.

No you're not.
Just got power back, so I'm just playing these off the post.
Mon -- no guess
Tue -- Beyonce
Wed -- got too cute and went with Scipio Africanus
Thur -- no guess
Fri -- no guess
That's my first 0/5 in years, I think.

I would think that if they wanted a pavlovian, piss-easy "Power of ____" in the top box, it'd be "Positive thinking", since that's what 99.99999% of the world would think of when spotted "book title that begins with 'Power of'."seaborgium wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:24 pmMore like the TenPoundHammer pile of "Clues That Were Written to Be Guessed Instead of Known and Hence Placed in the Top Row with All the Words but the One to Be Guessed to Help Jog the Memory and Encourage Guessing and Because Nobody Took a Guess It Must Be Perceived As Being Inordinately Difficult and Referred to by the Full Name Rather Than the Single Word for Which the Clue Was Prompting."TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 1:28 am "Power of Now" looks like it can join the Gigi Grazer pile of "Ridiculously Undervalued Top Boxes".
Also, 15% on a top box pretty much screams "undervalued" to me.

Nice week for me to kick the season off. Unlike some other boardies, it was Wednesday's clue that prevented me from going 5/5.

Beyonce for the Grammy clue.
I've heard "Rolling in the Deep" and "Hello."

Goatman lurks in the shadows... an improbable string of FJs while juggling multiple challenges IRL. Ttyl Boardies!

I had Tuesday right even though I've never heard any of the songs listed in the poll.

Guh. Finally starting to catch up...
Rolling in the Deep.
