I was sort of spoiled on Friday, but only after having had some time to think about it, so I guess I can't really abstain. I think I'd have thought of it if it were Kids' Week.

I have read "No One Writes to the Colonel", but that's all. Looking at its Wikipedia page just now I see that Garcia-Marquez considered it his best book, and that he had to write One Hundred Years of Solitude just to get people to read it. Gee, Gabriel, I'd have saved you the effort had I known.

I did get the extras right. I happened to remember that Borneo was #3.
I'm smart and I want respect.

:mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Shoulda got Dunkirk, Marquez is a total blind spot in my knowledge.
:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: answered Java.
I thought everyone had seen The Lion King.
I had Goodyear Blimp and was disapponted that just "blimp" was accepted.

Orange and azure didn't faze me. I have not seen Dunkirk. I have not read anything by Garcia Marquez (that I recall). Didn't follow the bread crumbs to Goodyear on Thursday, though I should have. I have seen the movie and stage musical of The Lion King once each, I think; with more exposure, meerkats might have made more of an impression on me.
