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.

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.
