Am I the only one who watches Late Night with Seth Meyers? The resemblance to writer and occasional segment host Jenny Hagel is uncanny:

Had Delaware for FJ. If one does not consider the coast along Delaware Bay as "ocean" then it is not too far off the mark (apart from not matching an English county). NH was obvious in hindsight.

I had a really hard time deciding how to score the answer of "beer". It didn't fit the theme, the category on the form did specify that there was a theme, and the respondent did get the bonus question right. Still, I didn't explicitly say that the answer had to fit the theme, so I decided to send h...

WHAT AN IDIOM! for $200: "It doesn't affect me adversely, so it's "No skin" from here".
Accepted response: "off my nose".
My response: "off my back".

I assume this is just a regional difference?

60 R
DD: 3/3
FJ:
LT: Lobster, Gulfstream, (Horatio Nelson), Calabash, (New York & Vermont), Florida, Claw

Congrats! Is that 60R a first for you?

I'm not familiar with that warning but "prejudice" led strongly in one direction.

If the week is not too busy, I would not mind seeing a poll question along the lines of "I would not have gotten FJ! without the word "predudice" in the clue".

Another for Condoleeza Rice although I could not tie her to Chile and the timing just seemed wrong. Had to write something though.

In retrospect I find that I have some vague knowledge of the Philippines once being a US territory but it was nowhere to be seen while the think music played.

Yay, I get to bring up one of my pet peeves! 7) Submit here by 4 PM EST on Tuesday, March 24. https://forms.gle/14C4tbYGrYfp66wK7 The Eastern time zone is currently observing daylight saving time, so you probably mean 4 PM EDT. If not, then wall time would be 5 PM. I usually just say "Eastern time" ...

BEFORE & AFTER $1200: Current slang term for a scornful glance at the optometrist’s test for visual acuity Waseem: Slant eye exam. What is slant eye exam? :o Dewi then had to rebound with the correct side eye exam. I had evil eye test which is probably acceptable. FWIW, I have heard "evil eye" and ...

My prediction for the ones LSV does not get: Garden of Allah Lawrence O'Donnell Birchbox Walk Hard Since four is a lot, I must be wrong on one of them. I like this idea. As a matter of fact, I think we should create a "The Official LSV Education Thread" where we berate him if he doesn't get 100% of...

Add me to the chorus of those who got FJ! but was wondering if there was something I was missing. Apart from all the blah blah blah that is almost the definition of missionary but it seemed way too easy so I considered other options - even a clarifier like Jesuit or Franciscan. Surely the contestant...

Can I get a ruling on jasmine vs. basmati? Right number of letter, literally means "fragrant" but the relationship to Hindi seems less clear to me.

Had Cash before Alex finished with the question. Briefly considered Frank Zappa but decided I was thinking of his PMRC testimony and also that he was probably too obscure without a better TOM in the clue.

Anyone else have the thought that David Letterman was on stage? I can't believe this didn't come up until the third page. (spoilerized due to hugeness) https://www.jeopardy.com/sites/default/files/styles/contestant_home/public/contestant-photos/wk25_0224_0228_goodreau_home.png?itok=KeoTOGM1 https:/...

It was absolutely INFURIATING me that they were letting Jon get away with the lack of "What is" as long as they did. Did they ever give someone that much leniency before? Like misspelling in the FJ! round the show has rules. You can botch phrasing in the J! round and Alex will remind you more than ...

My public thanks to the denizens of j-board for teaching me several months ago that mideast country + cedar = Lebanon. My kneejerk response was Israel but it was quickly corrected. Also, my eyes read Kerouac but for some reason my brain was trying to process Cormac McCarthy. No idea why I did that o...

Frustrating FJ for me as I instagot as far as "Not Churchill, the other guy" and then spent the next 29 seconds trying to remember his name. Classic brain freeze.

I should get some kind of award for basically picking every sheep.

Me first!!!
Next TD, I’m doing reverse-reverse-reverse-psychology, instead of the reverse-reverse-psychology I used on this one.

You guys are amateurs; I sheeped five in a row.

Literature is not an especially strong suit of mine but I loved this FJ category and clue. It took me a full 25 seconds following various trains of thought before I shouted out Jane Eyre in triumph, only to realize they were looking for the author. Got as far as Bronte before time ran out but doubt ...
