The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Re: LL BWA Entries
I've heard of High Street, but it wasn't going to come to me. I almost made a BWA attempt with "Mornington Crescent," but I thought I had a nonzero chance of a random guess being right, and that the reference was too obscure (at least in America).

I'm kind of disappointed that my answers earlier this season of "Qurplop" for the Quran subdivision and "Prince E. Mail" for the Nigerian playwright weren't chosen.

It would never have occurred to me that there could exist a person who could come up with Mornington Crescent but not High Street.seaborgium wrote: ↑Tue Dec 18, 2018 10:58 am I've heard of High Street, but it wasn't going to come to me.

I went with "Basketball Jones" yesterday, which is a very old Cheech and Chong routine. Almost got it right totally by accident.

PharaohThe Death and Life of Great American Cities, a seminal work in the field of urban planning, was written in 1961 by what tenacious New Yorker (and foe of Robert Moses)?
(I opted for that variant over Faroe...didn't want to get too cutesy)

I guessed that the other Slovenian basketball player was Melania Trump.

The #1 game by global downloads in the iOS App Store and Google Play for 2018 is described by its maker, Voodoo Games, as an "exciting adventure of the bouncing ball through the...tower labyrinth". What is the name of that game?

For Aaron Spelling's last series before he died, I went with "Heaven Couldn't Wait". I knew 'heaven' was in there, but no way I was pulling that one.
