Thank you Gordon Lightfoot.

Bingo

Instaget followed by rereading to clue over and over to make sure I got what they were asking for

J-archives currently has category 3 of DJ shown as "ELEMENTAL FATS". That would make for quite a spin on knowing my periodic table

FJ was pure WECIB

Picked every bait answer for my FJ misses

Knew it was Bierce, but couldn't pull it in time
NHO Florence Foster Jenkins

No idea on garrison

Sooooo, do I get to check the weekend's FJ poll if I wrote down "neutron star" or not?

I really liked Robert's calm demeanor. I'll enjoy watching to see how far he can go.

Final was Teen Jeopardy difficulty.

I said game room instead of parlor. Judges?

Holy cow, I felt like LSV tonight as I smoked through DJ, also only not knowing the bottom 2 Rock Stars

+1 precalled Montessori along with Horace Mann, Booker T. Washington, Annie Sullivan, and John Scopes.

Completely unfamiliar with the first line of "Kubla Khan", that is until now. Guessed with Shelley.

This is also what got me to the correct name.

+1 Beethoven instead of Tchaikovsky

Judges: wind talkers for code talkers?

I know its the title of the movie, but is it still technically correct? Maybe a BMS, I'm not sure.

Question from a young whippersnapper here born after 1982: What headline was the clue referring to in DD1?

Deadline, not headline.

Ooooh, that makes more sense, thank you

Add me to the long list who was shocked by the FJ ruling. I correctly spelled Berry Gordy, but I may now consider only using last names from now on

Small question for our judges: Is "Orpheus" just as good as "L'Orfeo"? Also, it feels so good to be back :D It's hard to believe they'd turn down a straight translation.

Who are Henry III, Edward III, and George III? (They reigned 52 years, 50 years, and 59 years respectively)

FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD

Proctor & Gamble used supercomputers to give this snack its iconic shape: a hyperbolic paraboloid.

What are Pringles?

I like this one because I was able to figure it out.

Pedantry alert: Procter, not Proctor.
