Took the test every year barring the one where Canadians were of questionable status.
Passed at least once (2013) but the audition invite went to my spam folder and I missed the chance to audition. Haven't passed since as far as I can tell.

Is it any wager ending in 69 that's verboten, or just $69 itself?

I went for the pride, but if it was like, game 5 or something I'd probably go for the infamous "What is a man" response.

Seems a bit silly to expect contestants to know whether Tony Blair was born in 1953 or 1951. Yeah, that was a lame clue. You could easily think it's Major, Blair, or Brown. I precalled Cameron. I guess I figured if you were a British PM you were older - Blair would have to have been what, 43-44 whe...

I don't know why it was qualified as a US location thing - maybe they have international entities surviving. That TOM didn't help, but wasn't negbait either.

That left 1877 and New Hampshire as I matched Bridget for the solve. Twain and Thoreau were not on my radar for misses and I thought someone might try Poe going off “curse” and “crime.”

As the news editor for a long-standing Nintendo fansite, I really have to wonder where they pulled "Hyrule Legends" as a Wii game from. (There's a Hyrule Warriors Legends which is a handheld version of a game on the Wii's successor.)

I finally got a chance to watch one of Cindy's episodes tonight, having just lost my own uncle to cancer... I have to say, it got a little dusty when Cindy began the comeback and way too dusty when she got FJ.

I can understand thinking Canadiens (five straight cups in the latter half of the decade) so I locked in on that and Islanders. Would have made for a nice :facepalm: picture if I had been at the lectern.
