10.) Odds and Ends + Author’s Choice
Here are a few things that didn’t quite fit, plus some personal connections
- I hear this song all the time at work; Peter Gabriel surely knows that Ace Hardware advertises a Collins 20 lb. steel this tool with a large flat metal head and a long handle Sledgehammer
- Ritz or Saltines, this type of snack food, were always in our pantry growing up Crackers
- Babies born on May 15 fall under this astrological sign, shared by some of my friends and family Taurus
- A science lesson growing up dealt with isobars (pressure); similarly, isohyets deal with connecting points of similar this Rainfall
- Skype was popular when I was younger; this video communications company that shares its name with a WGBH-produced kids show has taken over in 2020 Zoom
- The loft looked like a fun home for Nick, Winston, Schmidt and Jess on this FOX sitcom, a show I binge-watched for the first time last month New Girl
- Orbit is the mascot for the MLB team in this city that my Boston Red Sox defeated in the 2018 ALCS Houston (Astros)
- Don’t get my Twizzlers confused with your licorice stick, a nickname for this instrument Clarinet
- Red Delicious and my favorite, the Cortland, are varieties of this fruit Apples
Prior Sheep: (Sister Sledge, Uncle Kracker, Fun Home, Isobars, Skype, Fun Home, Orbit City, Clarinet, Red Delicious)

While the top of the field had extended their lead yesterday, the advantage evaporated for our leaders today. Just ten points separate the top sixteen players, so over half of the field still has a realistic chance as we approach the final - and perhaps most unpredictable - questions in this TD. Be sure to come back tomorrow for the final results!

What if the person who sheeps the most doesn't finish with the highest score?
Might make an honorable mention in that case. We'll figure it out.
