Re: Monday, July 2, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
The ghost of Hamlet's father never mentions a porcupine, so that was an odd clue, especially for the $400 box. The correct response is "what is a porpentine?" Same animal, but not the same name or pronunciation. The accepted and presumably expected response was simply incorrect. (Note: Don't bother quoting me from some Hamlet script that has the word "porcupine" in it. Lots of them do but as far as I know that's an emendation from the original. Shakespeare never used the word.)

Really? Suzanne entered FJ with $16200. A quick check says there's only $12800 in trash. Even if you picked it all up you'd have lost to her rational bet and correct response.

Had to dig for it, but this article has him listed as a defensive end, wearing #91. Confirms the Stanford article you listed: http://articles.latimes.com/2000/jan/01/sports/sp-49680sarisson wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 8:44 pm(raises hand) He's a big deal where I'm from, because we have a large Italian-American population and one of his ex-wives used to live in the county until her death.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 7:28 pm Keely Smith/Louis Prima seems like a very obscure pairing unless you're over 70 years old. Curious if anyone here got this right.
Our middle challenger has no entry on sports-reference, so he must not have been a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, kicker, punter, kick/punt returner, cornerback, safety, or anyone who ever touched the ball. I did find his Stanford athletic profile though:

Knew FJ would be a triple get, since it spotted you a Chinese name and a "title group."
Is this the same Rose Bowl referenced in Futurama?

now THIS is a fun fact! You can't make this stuff up. Glad to know I'm not alone in my guilty pleasure of watching Futurama. I heard Katy Sagal on Terri Gross' show (can't pull the name) and she never mentioned voicing Leela in a 30 minute interview. I was so disappointed. I wonder if there's some corporate bs involved?
I think the FJ clue needed the year to help people like me who only see these titles in airport bookstores. Not that I'll ever get a fiction clue, especially a modern work or beach reading.
I thought Scott was going out with a whimper, but he raised it to a bang. Great game by Suze (my Seinfeld gag reference here).

Keely Smith was one of my dad's favorites, and the Disneyland Storyteller LP version of "Jungle Book" alone was enough to make me a lifelong disciple of Louis Prima.econgator wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 9:55 pmCan't say I've heard of either of these people.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 7:28 pm Keely Smith/Louis Prima seems like a very obscure pairing unless you're over 70 years old.

i thought that woman was going to blow it by not hunting for that last daily double...she kept going to the top of the categories...when you have a commanding lead like that look for the daily doubles to make sure don't give the bottom feeders hope...poor strategy

i still go with the joy lucky club without the year...only book with asian characters i can name...besides...i actually thought it was written in the 90s and not the 80s....still went with it, well...because, again, it is the only book with asian characters i can nameElijah Baley wrote: ↑Mon Jul 02, 2018 1:13 pmThat was pretty odd, particularly since they got the first two.

And yes, leave out the year on the FJ and it's a lot tougher. Still, a little surprised that it was a triple get.
