Re: LearnedLeague 99 (LL99) Thread

I responded with "Furious X" instead of Fast X , and I considered Gotham before going with Empire (despite my misgivings that I derived it from a state nickname rather than giving a "municipal sobriquet" as the question asked for). I was pretty sure it was Fast X and the fact th...

Re: LearnedLeague 98 (LL98) Thread

:roll: I have clinched 1st place in my rundle, so back to the slaughterhouse that is A. You can just take tomorrow off, or least leave all your answers blank. Pretty sure we're playing each other. Alas, no can do. I think that's how Tom Kelso got kicked out. For the record and just to be clear, I w...

Re: LL Season 97

Is it me, or are the 1D's and Mini-leagues getting more arcane? It seems like I used to find 4 or 5 of the 1D's per off-season I could relate to or at least get a few right. I have already learned Mini-leagues can be a tough pull so I don't jump into them willy nilly. I just ran the first 7 days of...

Re: LL Season 97

I had three 50 50 90 guesses yesterday: 107.9 vs. 109.9 I don't want to single out StevenH here but this is something I also was thinking reading over the LL Message Boards. Do people under a certain age have no idea of the FM radio in your car? I mean, I'm 48 and this was an absolute slam dunk for...

Re: LL Season 95

The person all the way to the left is in the Willow rundle. ...I'll accept 2nd on the luckiest list. 69 CAA...damn. But even they had a 9(6) :D (As did everyone with a 126+) There's something going on with the Willow rundle. The A rundle winner has 5 forfeit wins and only 7 people in the rundle hav...

Re: LL Season 95

I put Peter for the tsar and felt terrible when I saw the answer. I flipped the Koin between Ivan and Nicolas. Cost me a win and I'm in demotion zone with 4 days to go. The koin has been especially unkind this season, I'm something like 1 for 7 this season when trying to decide between 2 answers. H...

I'm taking a season off from the private rundle, I'm joining a different one this season with some OQL teammates. Enjoy the chaos without me!

Re: LL Season 93

After checking the LL forum, seems I wasn't the only one who knew 'heliotrope' but thought it just referred to the way plants followed the sun, not that it was a species unto itself Certainly not. I felt so clever for thinking of "nightshade" that I defended it for three points because yo...

Re: LL Season 93

JboardHavoc update: I have misplaced the first half results (through MD11) I need to separate the second round, but with only today left in round 2, ClassicRoadster has demonstrated the most fecklessness in TPA, and ties trainman in place points. Once I split the rounds, I think it will reveal a ve...

Larry Doby was an outfielder, not a pitcher. Mayim, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way Jackie betting it all on DD2 and chatting about her running competitiveness had me expecting a cover wager. Whether Jackie would solve the FJ! clue was more in doubt as Mayim went through the FJ! respon...

No. Absurdly easy would be 'Phantom of the _______', or 'Okla_____'. Maybe.
Ok, those are easy!

Re: LL Season 92

This season has been a big bag of suck and I need to vent. My luck is atrocious; I am 2 spots BEHIND someone who has 3 FL and 10 fewer TCAs. I was almost promoted to B last season and now I'm almost certainly going to be relegated to D. I just want the season to be over so I can be put out of my mi...

Re: LL Season 92

Warning: Anal. information: In the endless quest for confirmation bias, I just sampled the stats of my cohorts in the D rundle. I was curious about my personal experience of my improved TCA after my first two seasons, although I didn't study or prep different, and I'm definitely not smarter. I comp...

Re: LL Season 91

I repeat my outsider viewpoint that Wayne's 1DS was a lot of fun. I'm still catching up with the Easter Eggs, as when I typed the name Wayne at the beginning of this post (Wayne's World Pacer car pun). I missed the Roadrunner/ beep beep goodie, and didn't pick up on the movie and TV TOMS which were...

Re: LL Season 91

I didn't remember the Idris Elba show title and let it hang over my head all day. I knee-jerked to Lucifer, then hit the brakes and realized it was a sounds-like situation - took a full five minutes to pull Luther I did basically the same, except I started with Preacher. I knew that "...her&qu...

Re: LL Season 91

I NHO Peppa Pig, but it was the headline in my news feed thanks to Boris Johnson. I do LL first, so I wouldn't have used the new answer if I had seen the questions. Too bad I didn't look at news first ;). I lost my ten game streak of wasted zeroes on this clue to ClassicRoadster, but apparently he ...

Re: LL Season 91

I'm surprised at the low Sierra Leone get rate. It's literally the name of the country! Canada here. I thought about South Africa, ruled out Namibia and Angola, then figured all of the other eligible African countries were too small to have self-contained mountain ranges that also bordered the Atla...
