I said game room instead of parlor. Judges? Clue already had "games" in it, so I say no. Yeah, I don't think games were named for the game room...But parlor games were named for the parlor. I spaced on parlor, and blurted "drawing room." I dimly remember that ..... maybe Lestrade? Or someone in an ...

My son played baseball as a kid with a boy named Cain. Not sure why you would name your son after a person who murdered his brother.

I wonder if the spelling was Cain. If it was "Caine," he could have been named after David Carradine's character on the TV show "Kung Fu."

STATE CAPITALS Other than salt, lake, and city, it's the only 4-letter English common noun that appears in the name of a US state capital What is rock? I think you've got to be a little more specific in your wording. Sacr amen to, Hart ford, Hart ford , Hono lulu , Sp ring field, F rank fort, Frank...

:mrgreen: :( :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Though I disagree vehemently with the judges' ruling, I counted my response of "Barry Gordy" incorrect as it would have been on the show. Both Daniel Boone and Diego Rivera were pretty obvious in retrospect, but didn't occur to me in time.

$6200 from TSs, correct on DD2 and DD3. Would have probably still lost when I matched David's answer of Davy Crockett (though I spell it without the "E").

Davy Crocktt?

Curse you again -- another mouthful of coffee to clean off the monitor.

I hope that players like Kelly are not the direction the producers want to retake the show. As TalkingAwauy posted, a little goes a long way.. :o Honestly, I'm willing to give the producers a lot of leeway. The contestant pool shrunk from about 365.8 million to about 19 million. (Okay, not everyone...

Chuck Berry saved me from being skunked -- I at least had the presence of mind not to say Chuck Barry out loud.

From Reddit and the 9/16/ thread: Hello, I’m sure you are getting a lot of emails about this: Is there an official explanation for the Berry / Barry ruling? Did the judges determine them to be pronounced differently (because the rule in the past has been misspellings are okay if they don’t affect p...

Someone mentioned "pen" vs. "pin" in a Facebook group in relation to last night's FJ scoring decision. In a good part of the south those two words are pronounced the same and that might give some of us who would pronounce Barry and Berry some perspective. If the FJ clue was something like "He won a...

I actually thought they would make a score change for cochineal as a beetle derivative, instead of just insect. Beetle is correct. Wikipedia says cochineals are of the order Hemiptera. Beetles are of the order Coleoptera. Interestingly, this means that the response "What is a bug?" would or at leas...

A friend of mine got the call for September 30. She has to arrive at Sony at 7 am and will have to do her own hair and makeup. The contestants also will be mic'ing themselves. In other words, no close staff interaction at all. Weird thought, but as a man...I would have absolutely no clue how to do ...

SHAKESPEARE'S TRAJEDIES This play has multiple scenes set in Wales Though these may be off because I didn't triple check any research Richard II and at least one, possibly two, of the Henry IV plays also have several scenes in Wales. Good catch. The category limits us to TRAJEDIES, so we can't go w...

I stole this one from the Car Talk guys. Might be too tough as is but I'm not sure how to reword it without giving the game away.

ALL SHEEP LINE - 18

23. AFRET CMS - 20

In the "comments" note with my submission, I told clt013 that I was going to dread looking at the all-sheep line for this one. Looks like I had a good reason to.

TOUGH SCIENCE With a radius less than half that of Pluto, it is the smallest celestial body with a chemical element named after it. What is Ceres (cerium)? I never realized Our moon (which was my guess) is larger than Pluto, let alone Ceres. I now fully support Pluto's demotion to dwarf planet stat...

BIBLICAL VOCABULARY In the book of Judges the Gileadites asked the Ephraimites to say this word and killed them when they pronounced it incorrectly. What Shibboleth?

In the archive a number of suggestions come up for changing "true Daily Double" to "True Daily Double" and I'm curious how some board members think about that one way or another. I'd be fine with that but I'm fine with things as is, so it doesn't seem worth the trouble. I get the point of the sugge...
