Had Australia & Queen Mum.
blue

Guessed Dalton for the scientist.

Shoulda got Satchel Paige. Went with blizzard. Guessed Florida.

Guessed the Queen Mother on FJ. Never would've thought to look outside the monarchial line.
Judges:. Rationalism for Reason?

Got the obvious Panama City FJ but Belmopan kept trying to sneak in my mind.
Cheers to the writers for the Rock Opera category, which is probably the closest they'll ever get to a Prog Rock category.

Jeers to the contestants for running to Netflix to start DJ :roll: Double jeers for going 0-5 on border rivers (How is Labrador a TS?) :o Triple jeers for the crickets on head Inquisitor Adam #+@&*! And the nearly murdered Steve Scalise. :x '63 children's book on Relativity & Quantum Theory? Pure WE...

Figured UK was too obvious for FJ. So why did I go with Australia?
I had"Something borrowed, something blue".
Something for the weekly poll?

I fell hard for the Mary Kay negbait. Knowing your timeline always helps - I was only about 80 years off from the founding of Mary Kay. I'd have guessed that Mary Kay was the 60s, but...the idea of pyramid marketing and getting that pink Cadillac was too strong for me. The makeup category seemed in...

OK, after Friday's debacle, we have categories titled "Recognizing the Country" & " That's Some Ending". One of the writers is obviously trolling us :twisted: Speaking of "Recognizing the Country", tough to do playing it from the Archives. Easy peasy FJ, but can someone please explain guessing James?

PROG ROCK

This drummer has played with Yes, King Crimson, & Genesis, among other bands.

:runsawayinhorror:

Had Napoleon & Wellington

Misread the clue, thought it said 1992

Couldn't remember Grozny
Fogey has five letters!

Playing from the archive, was expecting a crapstorm when Palestine was accepted.
Fogey is spelled wrong by the writers.
1979 Constitution + religion = WECIB.

Instaget FJ... WECIB? The technology for DNA profiling wasn't invented until the 1980s.

I wondered if someone would misread the clue and go with DNA. I started with forensics but decided that was too vague and switched to fingerprint.

*Raises hand*

Didn't think it was possible to get Zola w/o Dreyfus, but what do I know?

Knew it wasn't Beckham, couldn't think of anyone more contemporary. So I went out of the box & guessed Rafael Nadal.

Went even farther way in FJ, figured the barbarians were a reference to Vikings, so guessed Sweden.

NHO Nick Hornby.

Yes you have, you just didn't remember him. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4514

Didn't get him then either. So what's the big effing deal about this guy distinguishing him from the thousand other randos in pop culture?

"Do you think the writers overemphasize Hollywood and pop culture at the expense of academic subjects?"

I had heard of Mo'Nique but couldn't pull it in 30.
NHO Nick Hornby.
