Re: Thursday, February 28, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I was even more impressed with Colby's identification of the "West Memphis 3." I've seen those documentaries, they're fascinating and I recognized the names - but Paradise Lost is over 20 years ago and I wasn't coming up with that tag for them so fast, especially because you had to connect West Mem...

Re: Thursday, February 28, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
That Three Gorges DD was a killer (I've been near there - admittedly decades ago - and I had no idea what the clue was asking for). The Solomon DD was pretty difficult too. Both of them needed puzzling out, and Colby was so fantastic to watch as he did it. That whole DJ round was so good. Really tou...

Re: Friday, February 22, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Emma Goldman was a near instaget because I saw Assassins last year. My husband took a little longer but figured it out from Ragtime - the assasination connection doesn't come up there, but her activism as an anarchist is a plot point and The Night Goldman Spoke at Union Square is a song. Even before...

The most interesting fact about the title of My Fair Lady is the often overlooked pun. The Cockney girl Eliza Doolittle learns to speak and live like a woman from an upper-class part of London - or as Eliza might say it at the beginning of the story, a " Myfair " lady... I always forgot about that....

Re: Thursday, February 21, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
My funny guess of the night was "Liederkranz" for "Liebestraum." I've obviously spent too much time here. :D Though my answer was phonetically closer, I'd rather have said "Liederkranz" than "Lebensraum." :shock: That's what I got stuck on too. I didn't think it was right, but didn't realize till I...

Re: Friday, February 8, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I thought Alex came off very rudely in saying to Rebecca that this was an easy clue because she got it. I did get it right away, but I was an English major and am familiar enough with the speech that ends Shrew to realize that this would be part of it. (If you know Kiss Me Kate, it's the speech that...

Re: Wednesday, February 6, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Poll request on the 'Checkers Speech'. I got it, but I thought the clue was confusingly worded. I had no problem with the clue but agree that it is a shaky clue at best. I've only heard of it as the "Checkers" speech, but why? It could have other labels. I think it will poll high and the contestant...

Yes, all three of these young women are terrific and very impressive! I'm rooting for Maya, but any of them would be a great and well-deserved champion.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:13 amI'd be happy to see any of these three win. Too bad Maya got FJ wrong, but hopefully she can climb back into contention.

Folded flag said military cemetery to me. I started with "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier," thought that was created later, some time after 1900, and then said, oh, Arlington Cemetery, confiscated from Lee right after the war I'd thought, but plausibly could have been the year before when they captured ...

You can add me to the Instagetters who live in DC-area Virginia. Phelps and Ledecky are very well known here as being from Maryland and they got a fair amount of coverage in the Washington Post in the run-up to the Olympics, and then tons of coverage during the Olympics. And we all got it when Phelp...

Re: Friday, November 20, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Speaking of which, I didn't get FJ. I was stuck trying to think of English words that were philosophers' last names or vice versa, with Locke as the only answer I could muster. This is exactly what I was doing (I feel better than seaborgium was as well). The first names that occurred to me were Kie...

That typo was not on purpose, but I did see the movie this year for the first time (what was I waiting for? Such a great movie) and maybe it was subconscious.

I had CoMC - thought about Iron Mask, but since I wasn't sure if he ever took it off, and I knew the Count of Monte Crisco was imprisoned in a tower for a very long time, went with that. I actually read some of that Judy Blume book this year, decided it wasn't my cup of tea (I hadn't taken to her la...

Re: Tuesday, November 17, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
I can sympathize with Alex (Trebek). I'm kind of puzzled what type of toilet paper roll holder would make a good signaling button substitute. The kind that collapses a bit with a spring inside to let you take it out and put it in. Isn't that most of them? So it's a thick cylinder where you can pres...

Re: Friday, November 13, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Yes, but I did wonder how people would know which one to guess. I knew because I could read the Hebrew, but my husband, who would have recognized Hebrew printing, is not familiar with the Hebrew cursive she used (which is fairly different from print) and guessed Arabic.
