Agreed. But you might mention you tossed in an anagram of their whole name as well. I spent a little time thinking that "envies milk", and "etch zero mill" were show credits. And I was looking forward to renting "a strychnine toupee" :lol:

thanks for turning the TD crank with such aplomb!

to wit:

Given another of their credits, the number of letters, AN ANAGRAM OF THEIR WHOLE NAME, and the placement of all vowels (other than Y) in their names, identify the person who appears as one of these characters in commercials.

Interesting development in the entrant list box above - I have received two entries under the handle / screen name "Woof".

Anybody want to claim the Tuesday entry (#7 in the box) under that name?
The person who posts as Woof here told me that they submitted their entry on Wednesday (#14) and knew nothing about the previous form which used that name.

That's so weird that I would do that as I have K.S. = Manhattan on my paper I used to write my answers. By the time I finished the set and went to the Google form my fingers must have had a mind of their own and ignored my written responses.

The school I used in Q1 is my wife’s alma mater and the town where we live. Entered my first TD in forever just for that question.

I visited the grave of my Q2 president (along with others listed) in July. Two personal connections already.

At least my TDs play relatively consistently. I had a mental coin flip between an answer that went unused (Margot Robbie) and an answer that turned out to be wrong. Yep, gotta a get a new mental coin.

Upside is that maybe TFB won't feel as lonely hanging around the all-sheep line.

I should host a TD again. That way I wouldn't have to worry about how badly I'm doing, like here.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
