Summer Hiatus Challenge 2017--Round 1, Day 1

Post by rjaguar3 »

Here we go with the 2017 Summer Hiatus Challenge.

Please make sure to read the rules and declare wild card eligibility in that thread. (A slight change has been made to the rules since they were posted: as in previous SHCs, there will be no additional wild card granted if the Kids/Teens wild card doesn't reach critical mass.)

Each game thread begins with 4 points:
  1. Announcements (this post)
  2. Questions
  3. Template for responses
  4. Reserved for answers
Please make sure to post your responses in the game thread and spoilerize your responses (add a ] after [spoiler and [/spoiler on the form; this is a change from last year due to the forum software upgrade). Please don't delete any lines from the response template (it breaks the parser).

The scoring site for the 2017 Summer Hiatus Challenge should be up tonight.

Let's get started.

6: Luther Strange, former attorney general of this state, was appointed to Jeff Sessions's U.S. Senate seat.

8: Stranger Things uses as a motif this The Clash song where picking one title option, "there will be trouble"; with the other, "it will be double".

10: This musical includes the lyrics: "Strange as it seems, there's been a run of crazy dreams / And a man who can interpret could go far, could become a star"

BODY TALK
Each correct response will include a body part.
3: An instinctive reaction, perhaps caused by a doctor hitting your patella.

6: Not including the front crawl, the two competitive swimming strokes named for a body part.

9: An argument that has no logical basis is said to lack one of these.
