Re: FJs for the 9/18/17 week
My guess for Monday's FJ was Elisha, a prophet who didn't get his own book in the Bible.
Before he passed, I had NHO Len Wein or knew what his work was. Well, the second part of this sentence kind of follows from the first.

Len Wein competed on The Experts show, not as an expert on Wolverine but Stephen Sondheim. Full disclosure - I am in this game too as the Masters guy. Len was funny, kind, down to earth and a thoroughly enjoyable competitor. I am so sorry that he is gone. I hope that people discovering his work from the FJ will also learn what a lovely person he was.

There should be a choice for "I have mixed Crown Royal with RC Cola."

Amos, and I couldn't think of anything but RC/CR...Would not have gotten the Wolverine clue 2 or 3 months ago...and great to know that Len Wein was a Stephen Sondheim expert!
Should have remembered Petrarch too...Alison Krauss, not so much...

Mon - I think it was one of the Bible books, but I just can't rightly remember
First time I've heard of Len Wein, but I was familiar with his work even if I didn't know he was behind it.
There's probably already a name for that but I vote we call it the orobouros.
(It is apparently the "Royal Wedding"...that's actually not bad of a name.)
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Not my best week.
Malachi. I have drank RC but not CR. Never heard of Wein before he died.
For the season:
4-6
Longest winning streak: 2
Longest losing streak: 2

Re: FJs for the 9/18/17 week
I think I guessed Nehemiah. I have not tasted Crown Royal whisky. I may have tasted Royal Crown cola but I'm not sure. I recall the name Len Wein but was unaware that he had died recently and don't know much about him. Petrarch sounds like something I should know by now.
