Anderson Cooper + Kelly Donohue = Extended Credits roll again
The most important moment of the show was Anderson getting his shot at this:
The cool moment of the episode was seeing a game clip for the Stern sidekick clue.
Anderson gave an alternate response for the "slur" word response that might make zakharov a bit happier?
The FJ! category had me struggling for precalls as I had nothing better than Rome for the twins or prisoners in Sydney.
The FJ! clue had me connect all the dots to copy Kelly & Lyrka while Nick completed a nightmare appearance with only connecting two dots as a follow-up to the two missed DDs.
Kelly's Coryats are improving each game, so he may be getting on the buzzer with each dose of experience.

This game is a draw for the Weak Form of Shore's Conjecture. The second-place player bet "small." --Bob

Woo! Our biggest winner since John Focht. He stands at 279th on the all-time leaderboard at the moment. Will update the leaderboard whenever his run ends, or when he reaches 4 games.

That alternative was Roma. Would they also accept Romany? I feel safer sticking with the slur. Erm... no offense?MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 1:45 pm Anderson gave an alternate response for the "slur" word response that might make zakharov a bit happier?

I actually wrote down "What is Istanbul, not Constantinople?" as a joke response. Think they'd have taken it?

Re: Monday, April 26, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Good, solid win by the champ. Many congrats and all props.
My long-ago good friend explained to me that in the music conservatory (she was a graduate) they had lots of "in" jokes most likely to be "gotten" by musicians. One of them:
What's the difference between a violin and a viola?
Answer 1: A violin burns longer.
Answer B: A violin holds more beer.
She could go on like that all night, esp. if she had a violin-full of beer. Ah, good times.

I'm pretty sure you could have said "What is Istanbul, and not a football jersey stuffed with squirrel fur and chocolate chip pancakes?" and it would be acceptable.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 7:57 pm I actually wrote down "What is Istanbul, not Constantinople?" as a joke response.
