Nice run by Carrie in CURLS GONE WILD.

Strange stumper of the day day: The players did not know the James to match with Leatherstocking.

Danielle the 2x beat the 1xers David and Carrie.

Carrie was almost always leading. Until her FJ! response was shown.

I matched Danielle as J! loves the guy.

A while back in May of this year we had a thread matching a year with lit, in response to a remark that 1900 was near Pavlovian for Wizard of Oz. 1902 is pretty much the Peter Pan year, and that fact that he shares it with another Peter--Rabbit--is complicated by the fact that Beatrix Potter's book was published privately a year earlier, in 1901. Other 1902 children's literary works J! might ask about are pretty much limited to Kipling's Just So Stories. Expanding to adult works, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Wings of the Dove, "The Monkey's Paw", Brewster's Millions, The Virginian.

[MinnesotaMyron]

For adult lit from 1902, Heart of Darkness is a biggie.

No prob on FJ.

[Robert K S]

For adult lit from 1902, Heart of Darkness is a biggie.

Another one complicated slightly by an earlier publication (in 1899, in serialized form).

Carrie could've done with a look at my Twitter thread on the late 1930s origins of Batman. Something makes me think urban crime wasn't so bad pre-WWI as it was during the height of the gangster era in the '20s and '30s.

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

Nobody has mentioned "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" yet. Also 1902.

[Robert K S]

Nobody has mentioned "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" yet. Also 1902.

That's the name I always give to the Cyclopes.

Another week complete: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8694

Those at the 4th podium will fall asleep with little action there.

[MinnesotaMyron]

Nobody has mentioned "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" yet. Also 1902.

Nobody other than Robert 3 posts above you.

[CyrusChan]

Even with Ken's remark of Carrie running the caterCurly, no round of applauses?

[CyrusChan]

Nobody has mentioned "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" yet. Also 1902.

I was thinking Peter Rabbit too but didn't know how to use "bird".

[Robert K S]

If you had asked me at the end of the J! Round who my pick to win Clubs was, I would've said Carrie Cadwallader. Kind of an amazing game. Danielle's emotion of thrill at the end 100% justified.

[Bamaman]

I can’t believe only one player got that one. Batman?

Coryat: $41,800

LT: "Streets of Philadelphia," Lazarus (DD), James Fenimore Cooper, combine/combine

Infectious happiness from Danielle, which is wonderful to see. Maybe we'll even let the suicide wager from second go, just this once.

I missed the ulna/radius coin flip, also Pavloved "much-maligned" to accordion, and was off on Rembrandt by a century.

Really? Anna + Bangkok on a DJ! DD in a champions' tournament? Also, did you have to spot "Diamond" on a $2000 clue in the James category?

[davey]

Yeah, if there's really any dilemma here it helps that one of the choices is pretty well known for flying...

[seaborgium]

I missed the ulna/radius coin flip

Me too. I know which is larger between tibia and fibula because the latter has a diminutive ending, but I don't have a similar linguistic foothold on radius/ulna. Maybe my mnemonic there has to be that a radius in a circle is shorter than the diameter.
