Headslap moment of the night: blurting out "dulcinea" for the "sweet," hammered musical instrument. Doh!

In your defense, if I recall correctly, she did drink wine. Don't know if it was enough to be considered hammered, though.

Seven correct for $7200, four clams, one incorrect for -$600 = $6600 on TSs. Got all three DDs.

I had Panama City down for FJ right from the start, but did have some minor reservations. For some reason my mental image always has Central America oriented more north-south than it actually is. Often the case where macrogeography doesn't line up with microgeography. I know I was a little startled...

I think I caught whatever the challengers had through my TV, reading "easternmost" and thinking "westernmost." And then I got that wrong, naming San Salvador because it belongs to the only Central American country with no Caribbean coastline. (That portion of coastline, however, is more east-west t...

Given the hint of " colorful class of small, dim stars," brown dwarf and white dwarf were not good guesses. Were either of those the correct response, the writers would have chosen a different adjective. In the recent past, a "colorful" school was Brown University, and a "colorful" stone was browns...

Now, with most cable/fiber optic/satellite companies offering their own DVRs, and the elimination of VCRs, it's back to either "record", or occasionally "DVR", so DVR should now be on the tip of the tongue for a modern TV recording device, not TiVo. My mom used to say that she would "tape" somethin...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: Had "Ronaldo," was going to count it as incorrect since I was thinking of the wrong Ronaldo -- but the judges accepted it on stage so I'm going to take it. Gotta keep brushing up on geography and capitals. Read Catch-22, saw th...

:( :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: Matched Brad with astronomer Hale instead of Shoemaker -- forehead slap. Had Whigs immediately, then dithered for a moment about Federalists before settling on Democratic-Republicans. Didn't think of Ang Lee at all; the only director I could come up with ...

They also figure prominently in long-running Canadian TV series, "Murdoch Mysteries." From Wikipedia: "Murdoch Mysteries is a Canadian television drama series that premiered on Citytv on January 20, 2008 and currently airs on CBC Television. The series is based on characters from the Detective Murdo...

In part 1, Alex said they started writing before he finished reading the clue. Is this really possible? Does this mean contestants have more than 30 seconds to write their answers? I don't suspect this would often be of any consequence, but would be good to know. [Wobbles cane and speaks in creaky ...

:( :mrgreen: :| :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :| :mrgreen: :| :mrgreen: :| :mrgreen: :| :| :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Six clams, eight correct, one wrong. Missed "bison" by blurting "buffalo" before correcting it, but I think I would have been ruled incorrect before I had the chance to fix it. Wound up with $8800 ($...

I did not like hearing whom I had believed to had been the host of the program presenting what I had believed to had been a certain clue for one of its game involving a certain word I would describe as "profane" (its spelling was similar to this one: " witchin' ") and did not like the music for the...

My wife predicted Karen's demise tonight during the intro when she saw her red jacket. My wife hates red and is convinced it's bad luck when people wear it. So let that be a lesson for you Jeopardy! hopefuls out there. :lol: I wore red for my first appearance, and it worked out OK. Of course, that ...

I've been holding very low expectations for this event and have found it impossible to develop a rooting interest. I hope it's able to get some ratings, for the sake of the show (I guess). Maybe James has paid attention to criticism about interrupting Alex on his correct responses and is more watch...

I played the FJ off the "clue of the day" this morning. Figured it had to be a soccer player to have a large international following (though I did consider Nadal and Federer), and wrote down "Ronaldo" with zero confidence. When I looked it up, it turns out there are so many soccer players with Ronal...

so I'm going to have to join Opus in the "shruggers" group.

See now that's just hurtful. You know us penguins are physically challenged in the shrugging department.

I know what you mean. It was hurtful for me, too, admitting publicly that I agreed with you. But, (shrugs) meh, who cares?

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( Ended 2019 on a nine-game FJ streak and immediately missed the Jan 1 clue. Recognized her after the fact but wouldn't have gotten it with 30 minutes instead of 30 seconds. Another Manchester instead of Birmingham here. Very familiar with the...

What are these tweets people are talking about? I see one that says, "Karen is really getting lucky with other players getting softball doubles and not capitalizing." In my opinion, that's completely fair. See the Fourth Podium Poll for 12/31/2019. That's just one example of where she could have ea...

Two for four: Grand Rapids and Saginaw.

Easy TS to smell coming: The county highlighted on the Nevada map where LV is located. Val came charging out of the gate hot with: 600+600+600+800+2600+800 before her opponents were heard from. Val's two category lead was greatly narrowed at the first break when it was 5000-4200-2600 Val was a very...
