Re: Thursday, May 25, 2017 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
"The Rapture" as currently used describes a distinct event well prior to the Last Judgment. As such it is not a medieval concept. But I think medieval theologians would have used the term or its Latin equivalent. They just would have been referring to an event that was part of Judgment Day and immediately prior to the judgment proper. Once the term was co-opted by a certain brand of theology, it became less popular for those who didn't subscribe to that theology to use "rapture" in the ancient sense.Stanislaus Jacob wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2017 9:45 pmThe Rapture is not a medieval concept, and among the subset of modern Christians who do believe in it, it is a distinct event from the Last Judgment and occurs well before it.

Lach trash: Hammer and Tong. I knew this one from an obscure robot from "Robot Wars" by that name.
Knew the New Hampshire senators because in MA, we get election ads from New Hampshire as well. Heck, if it was still campaign season, I probably would have seen one during the break.

Got FJ instantly, but I actually felt peeved about the easiness more than excited - artists plus the masks was too helpful.
I was cheering for Melanie to win.

Strange, in all the ads I've seen it sounds like a homophone of "brawn".
(I do have a relative named Braun who pronounces it Brown though (and coincidentally my wife's maiden name is Brown!)

Ahem — considering the Turtles were first created in the comics in, as the clue said, 1984, and the first (and best) cartoon premiered on TV in 1987, I think the age range is a LITTLE bigger than that.

I'm not sure that proves anything. Lots of foreign companies change their pronunciation for other markets. An example I can think of is IKEA. It's pronounced like "E-Kay-A" in Swedish.trainman wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2017 11:15 pmWow, someone should really tell the Braun YouTube account.

Hey! What did we ever say about you?!?
Seriously, hopefully the netizenry doesn't get too harsh on you. You looked like you were having a lot of fun, and that's what I like to see in a contestant. Sorry it didn't work out better in terms of title/compensation, but you seemed to have made the best of it. Enjoy those donuts!

. It's also current, there was a TMNT move last year, regardless of whether I actually want to remeber that.

Finally broke my losing streak in FJ. It wasn't an instaget, but when I saw all of the masks of four different colors, and I remembered the year, it clicked.
I remember the year because I actively collected comics in those days, including buying a few indy comics. But I remembered turning down buying the #1 of that comic, saying "who the hell is going to buy a comic with that name?" Shows you what I know....

I'm in agreement as well.
If this was an NFL game, I'd be complaining about it being poorly officiated (between that and Mack not losing $200 for his incorrect answer and the philandering/philanderer response).

I don't know about other sources, but Tom Lehrer's German pronunciation is all I need to call this one fine.

Oh yes, there was a TS in this game where they didn't hit the beeps. I know that's happened now and then. What's the rhyme or reason?

Probably just a matter of post production editing. Could have also been a tape delay there.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2017 9:52 am Oh yes, there was a TS in this game where they didn't hit the beeps. I know that's happened now and then. What's the rhyme or reason?

I wasn't getting FJ in a million years - 0/4 this week - a new low!
LT: Capistrano, gimlet (my go-to summer drink), Last Judgment, MDD: philodendron
Why can't I understand anything Mackenzie says? Surprised Alex didn't correct his pronunciation of sans. Le deuxième S is only pronounced in French if the next word begins with a vowel (like sans abri - homeless)
Philander-ER would've been ruled wrong on another day
NHO Philco or 'hammer and tongs' but ok

That's okay, we Jersey Shore natives have a lot of trouble understanding you New Yorkers as well.

It hurt me that no one got this one during the game, because it's one of my personal favorite phrases. I use it in my law practice almost every day when talking to clients about how vigorously we'll pursue a case.
Maybe I need to revisit usage of it in the future, if it's not as widely known/used as I'd always thought it was.
Then again, I also use bailiwick in my day-to-day practice too. Might have to start updating my work vocabulary to something 21st century one of these days.
I'm living proof to show that a good attitude, a Southern accent, a ridiculous beard, and a middling amount of trivia knowledge can get you onto Jeopardy!

I'm not a native NYer. Born in Hackensack, NJ lived in Yonkers for my first 5 years, then Ringwood, NJ til I shoved off to college in New Brunswick, NJ. Only came to NYC at the ripe age of 23. Mackenzie has something going on with his speech - even Alex had trouble understanding him. Maybe he just talks too fast. I got 90% of what he said, but there was no discernible Jersey accent.
And my parents live in Tom's River
