Was I imagining things or was there laughter from the audience as the show returned from commercial for FJ?

The extended 1980s theme (used for big events like TOC Finals) is one of the all-time great pump-up songs

I had nothing better than isosceles, which I’d only ever seen in the context of triangles Math is my strongest category and this was still an educated guess for me — I figured if you extended the non-parallel sides, you'd get an isosceles triangle. Normally I'll stick 3 on any math question I'm uns...

I started with Irish Car Bomb, but could not imagine what that would have to do with uniforms. Finally went reluctantly to black and tan, as having the Guinness, two ingredients, and the smallest resemblance to some kind of clothing reference. Turned out to be right. I got stuck on the singular "be...

But I can't recall [Brad] ever winning because of a bad wager, and, frankly, if he did, maybe the wager was no so bad, no? In UToC Round 3 , Brad got away with a bad wager — there was no downside to risking it all. Had Michael Rooney simply wagered $2,001 to lock Brad out, Michael would have advanc...

George Michael instead of Whitney Houston (almost certainly triggered by "1990")

I thought my POP MUSIC score was higher than my overall average, but that would explain the 3 point I received there. Luckily, turnabout was fair play, as I stuck the same number on that question, and tied 6(5)-6(5)

Note that "Black Holes and Revelations" is the title of an album by the rock band Muse.

I heard "Black Holes" as category 5 and yelped out, "PLEASE be 'Revelations'!" One of my favorite albums of all time.

Glad they also worked "supermassive black hole" into a clue (track #3 on the album)

The person who has won A Magnolia several times, and beat me like a rented mule for years, isn't playing this sesson. The weird thing is that our head-to-head record has been wiped from the record. To be honest, I'm happy about that. Same for the person who posted six 9(6)’s to close out LL81 and b...

Glad to see my creation is still getting use all these years later!

Here's hoping we win...it would be my 2nd, and I'd be happy to share the trophy with a friend. Indeed! I finished in 3rd in LL76… unfortunately, my feat was lost in the crash, but there is evidence on JBoard What is the name of the legal and theological document, with 28 editions published between ...

Sergeant is the third and final word in the title of a 1958 British film that launched a series that ended with its 31st movie in 1992. What was the name of this franchise, and the first two words in that 1958 film (and every installment thereafter)? Tyler Perry’s I submitted the same, bummer And i...

Tyler Perry’s

I submitted the same, bummer

And I somehow confused Jonny Quest and Speed Racer.

Same. I think I was primed by "Race" in the first name

I clearly still haven’t learned how to play this game

New Balance: too easy! No one will pick it

I would have gone with Garfield. It's supposed to be "100 people surveyed", right? The board totals only 66. Is there a threshold of 3 or something like that before a response is included? This happens often in round 3 after one family takes the first two rounds. The producers limit the available p...

2. ON THE AVENUE I'M TAKING YOU TO (many answers) Name any avenue in Manhattan. The word avenue must appear in the name.

I was in the group of simpletons who had Wounded Knee. Cavalry to battle was my thinking and 1889 was too late for Little Big Horn. :oops: Yes, the hint was there and yes the year should have helped. There is a reason I'm in C and I get to prove on a regular basis including my whopping 1 correct fo...

I have an econ degree and don't remember ever hearing the name David Ricardo. The 6% on grisaille I can believe, but I'm skeptical of 14% knowing Ricardo (especially with almost double that on the MCWA (among them, mine)). But my opponent thought I would, so I did manage to take down my rundle's le...

mine so far this season: In computing, a control total of the correct digits in a particular set of data, which can be used in future comparisons to detect errors, is usually referred to by what compound word?
