floridagator wrote: Wed Mar 21, 2018 3:54 pm One person said Comiskey, one said US Cellular, and one said "US Cellular AKA Comiskey." The rest said Guaranteed Rate. Comiskey is acceptable because that's what it's generally known as. It seems the name Guaranteed Rate Field is mostly used by people who are paid to say it that way. The only answer that's questionable is US Cellular. I also accepted an answer of Sears Tower for Willis.

I signaled that old names are generally OK in the first TD of the ring (TD 370) when I said I would accept an old name of a cabinet department. The third tallest building in Chicago after Willis and Trump is officially called Aon Center, but it's generally known by its original name, Standard Oil. Despite the fact that the company that used to be its major tenant hasn't been called Standard Oil in over 30 years. Asking for the current name of something that's as fleeting as paid sponsorship seems like dirty negbaiting. Whereas negging someone who mixed up Comiskey and Wrigley is typical for TDs.

Sports stadia are tricky, because in some cases the form "(team) Stadium" would be acceptable and sometimes it wouldn't. I have never heard anyone refer to "the Red Sox Stadium" whereas Target Field in Minneapolis is often called "the Twins Stadium."
kind of shocked that many people knew it was guaranteed rate field...i went with that one because i figured hardly anyone would know that lame name for a field...i guess there are a lot of illinois people here

Think I'm setting an all time record for sheep answers. (And lots of my second choice responses were either co-sheep or 1 below the sheep). Still, these are fun so I'll keep entering the series and keep the bottom spot safe for y'all. :oops:

I got a singleton on an auto racing clue and econgator didn't? I'm just going to savor this moment :lol:

Anyway, glad that my "strategy" of 'don't pick Maro Andretti' worked out, though I probably would've picked Helio if I could've remembered his last name :o

Gotta play the game! I figured jambalaya and gumbo are going to be in the mix, but I don't know how to tell them apart. Gumbo is faster to type, so gumbo it is. Better one point than none. :D

Almost the exact same process for me - although I also figured etouffe was one of them.
Disappointed to open the form and find out we had to identify by letter. :)

Thanks to floridagator for hosting again!

RHR is my favorite Indy racer at the moment, so I went with him. Should have went with my second choice, Alexander Rossi.

I probably could have come up with a dozen singletons for this question, but I went with Sam Hanks, who won the race in 1957, then immediately retired from racing.

My first 500 was 2014, so I had to choose RHR.

And it sheeped so hard! I was about to put Columbia River but opted to sheep instead. At least I shaved a point for the flock on that one. Maybe we're all wearing Columbia brand polarfleece this week. Who knows?

Normally I would say that doesn't matter, but for the sake of the ring, I will update the scores for the people who were off-Burnside.

Actually, I'm glad you did forget. :D That gave me a second singleton in the last three questions. Include my drop on the second-to-last question, and that "vaulted" me from 49th to 45th place!! Those first dozen or so questions were just warm-ups, right?!?!

thank you Greg Iles and that fateful day I bought Natchez Burning in an airport book store.
I eat chicken. That's what I do.
