Thank you to the bunkermaster for allowing me to see the game before dinner, the Vikings vs. Bears, and the trick-or-treaters ringing the bell.
The Halloween III clue made me laugh as a few days ago I was on the phone with a friend chatting about horror movies and he was driving his wife crazy in the background by singing the "Happy Happy Halloween...Silver Shamrock" song from the film. The movie has nothing to do with the Jamie Lee Curtis films in the series, but it has its place as a guilty pleasure for guys of a certain age.
Alex had it right about the FJ! category, "Not a good category for me."
The best I had was iTunes and I settled on that after looking at Spotify and Pandora as part of a Dawson Crossin' The correct response was not even on my radar. Nice job by Thea to take the title and do it with extra money in the pocketbook.

All but Pebble Beach in Rock.
WLT Boeing at $200? I thought they were going for a company that made clothing. I almost threw out Sky Mall.
Ran Reality.
I had no idea how to BMS on "Parliament" either.
There's a Tiger Lily in Peter Pan? Also didn't know monkey puzzle.
Also got the Lach Trash on Schuylkill, Hibbing, and horsetail.
Lightning McQueen for Herbie the Love Bug. Derp.
Gordon Pym = Poe was new to me.
Forgot the category on "Bing" because it took so long for them to get back to it, that "fits the category" had me stymied on Binghamton.
I don't even call out of state, much less out of country.
I don't remember getting an LTAM in either round.
Took mew a few seconds, but I got to podcast before the key change.

I was stunned that they didn't both get it, but as my name/avatar suggests, I guess this is a wheelhouse category. I constantly listen to podcasts.

Small object "launched" from Kazakhstan in 1957 = TS?!
TiVo = recording video for later, so recording audio is...podcasting sounds good.
I got it right off the rebound, so I'm not sure it qualifies as negbait, but a guy named Watt + coal mining = something other than energy...evil

I have never heard of a Monkey Puzzle Tree before. I looked it up and it is found in southern Chile and western Argentina. Is this something that someone might know from being around trivia? I couldn't find any instances in the archive, and I don't know how to search for things on LL.

What an awful FJ. "... this new form". Form? Form of what? If they had said "form of media delivery" or something like that it might have narrowed it down from a gadget/service or concept.
I said ipod, but the ipod came out in 2001.

They have them in my home town of Victoria, British Columbia, but I have no idea how well-known they are, and I tend to think of them as just a thing from my childhood. You may very well be correct about them being obscure.clprez wrote:I have never heard of a Monkey Puzzle Tree before. I looked it up and it is found in southern Chile and western Argentina.

Re: Monday, October 31, 2016 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Do you associate them with Steve Jobs and/or Apple? Does a podcast seem more TiVO-like to you than iTunes or Spotify or Pandora or Sirius XM? I'm struggling to figure out why I should have landed on podcast in particular given that clue. I'm getting ready to make the big zonk noise and yell BOGUS! But I want to hear opposing arguments first.OSXpert wrote:I was stunned that they didn't both get it, but as my name/avatar suggests, I guess this is a wheelhouse category.

I could've done without two of the BMSes. The clue wants accessories that sound like they were custom made for piloting. Sunglasses is simply wrong. No BMS necessary. And the clue wants an ELECTED body. Parliament is simply wrong. No BMS necessary. And Thea not being able to get it even AFTER a BMS just made the whole thing painful. Let the poor woman take her lumps and move on.
Nice to see Jon go down swinging, even if it did take him offstage for FJ. I still prefer that to the rabbit in the headlights look.
I enjoyed Thea's brief confusion about whether she was trying to go for a true DD or not. It's a good reminder that there's a lot to think about and a lot of pressure up there. It only seems easy from the couch. I also enjoyed the follow-up exchange where Alex admitted he egged her on a bit and she took it in good fun.
I was disappointed by all the triple-stumpers. And, as mentioned in a prior post, I wasn't fond of this FJ. But still, props to Julia and Thea for making this a horse race, and props to Thea for getting FJ and finishing with an impressive score.

The Pod in Podcast is derived from iPod.

TiVo for Radio, talk radio in particular. One uses TiVo to watch episodes of TV that you used to have to watch live. One uses podcasts for listening to radio shows that you used to have to listen to live. Spotify/Pandora/Sirius are for songs, but podcasts are radio shows you can listen to whenever you want.opusthepenguin wrote:Does a podcast seem more TiVO-like to you than iTunes or Spotify or Pandora or Sirius XM?

Interestingly, Julia's FJ wager was exactly the same as in her first game. It set up the potential for a tie-breaker, in the event Thea made the standard cover bet and they both negged on the clue. Was that intentional or did Julia just get mixed up on the math?

Negative. 1) streaming was around long before 2005 (Muzak in the 50's, for example). 2) It was a quote, so it needs to be precise.floridagator wrote:I said streaming. Judges?
