Had I not caught the news that Lefty had won his first Champions tour start a few weeks ago and thought " he's 50?!?", I would not have gotten this Final correct.

Mine is the US Open was last week, which brings the annual "Is it Phil's year?" articles. (No. No, it wasn't.)

Only Red River of the North, myriad = 10,000, and The Sun Also Rises. Gives me $3,600, not within striking distance.

Did get Final and all three DDs.

I used to do well at country music categories, but I only got Underwood and Bærry. I've heard of Kelsea Ballerini, but had no chance on that clue. Never heard of Thomas Rhett (Rhett Akins, yes) or Old Dominion. He still loves country music But he's been left out in the dark 'Cause they don't play Me...

:( :( :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: That's a good start to the season. Forget what I said Monday; I couldn't talk myself into remembering there was a building called the Pantheon. No response Tuesday. I wouldn't say I'd never heard of Berry Gordy, but I'd never have come up with him either....

Writer was the best I could come up with.

As with last week, I know I saw a game or two of this tournament years ago, but most of the games were new to me.
Planning to rewatch the college tournament, but if I miss it, oh well.

:( :mrgreen: :( :( :( :( :( :( le Carre (desperation guess), "that ship... comes up all the time and I can't name it... you know the one," Atlanta (desperation guess), The Right Stuff and Return of the Jedi (reasonably sure on the former, latter was the right year and... I mean, maybe you could call...

No guess.

I believe I'd seen Wednesday's and Friday's games before.

Couldn't even muster a guess Friday.

Pretty sure this was my first time seeing any of these episodes. And technically I didn't see Tuesday's episode, my local affiliate decided to run a rerun from this season that day for some reason.

Vintner, A, liver, Dodge City, Hawaiian, Prokofiev, Eastwood.

$7600 by my count, which with a FJ get is enough, even if you take off $2000 for saying Nimitz which according to the poll I did.

John Q Adams after talking myself out of taking the coinflip between Pierce and Hayes (I know their names, but not which goes where in order). Alexander Fleming; not thrilled with it but I had nothing else Ursula Le Guin, desperation guess after dismissing Angelou and Harper Lee as dying too early I...

Joy Luck , thanes, Thanatos, Big Bang , Mork & Mindy , Hawaii , fireplace, boomerang, Koko, Penn, scintillate (just before the buzzer), which by my calculation is $11,600, plus a get on Final for the win. No Tilda Swinton fans? I just blanked, but was picturing her the whole time...Only $10600 othe...

Getting better on the Confederate sub. Knew it was something like Hunsley, but couldn't convince myself it was Hunley in time.
Slake.
10/10 for the tournament.

I'm curious if anyone worked their way to a solve on this FJ. It feels like something you either had before Alex was done reading (me) or you weren't going to get there at all (the contestants). I had to shove James Dean out of the conversation (not British, twenty years off, car not motorcycle), b...

I considered California with Nixon and Reagan, but since I knew two were in Texas (Johnson, Bush-43) and had a plausible third name, went with it.
No preemptions.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( "Enceinte" made me think "incendiary," so I was trying to think of fiery words, and nothing clicked. After a visit to Euro Disney as a kid, I had Swiss Family Robinson and Robinson Crusoe mixed up in my head for years. So this was an easy cl...

Sherman; got stuck on Jackson but refused to guess a Confederate.
I considered Pollyanna but stayed clam.

:( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: "A Star Is Born" (correctly guessed the movie, had no idea on the song title, and had to look it up now), Aston (also considered: Harley, Mercedes, Orville Wright; so I correctly stuck with British names, but one that's not a person) No pree...

A country with a whole lot of people (more than the USA) that is a democracy. That is a pretty short list. Russia was a really bad guess, especially considering he was born there. I figured there had to be some trick, something more to it than "There are two countries with enough people, and one of...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 10/10 for the tournament. I was trying to name all three before I rolled the dice, and only got Athos and Porthos before running out of time. I did not know the equator doesn't pass through Equatorial Guinea. No guess on the tr...
