Florida Man, Florida Man, does whatever a Florida can...

I don't expect to get an invite, since I'm mostly a lurker, but if somebody out there has one, I'd be grateful. Not eternally grateful, mind you. That's reserved for gifts of alcohol or chocolate. But grateful nonetheless.

Here's something for the FJ poll.

The train reference got me there, too. I started with, "Who was a fan of toy trains? Walt Disney. Done." All the while KNOWING that Disney was a producer (at least when it comes to the credits).

80's Cartoons... Wheelhouse!

Thank you very much for the game, again. I've just read Dark Tide , a book about the molasses flood, so that was an amusing instant get. "Prince William Sound" was floating just out of reach, and I responded with something like "The Pacific Ocean near Alaska. I know this is going to get negged. No, ...

I knew that 4 was referring to the Curies, but for some reason I just couldn't add "-ium" to their names. I don't know why, as that's the naming convention for new elements. Frain breeze, I guess.

I'll take disasters as my specialty. Thanks again for these games.

It looks like we're missing a wordplay/vocabulary category.
How about "F"ive letter words. (imitates Alex) Notice the quotation marks.

I heard it in Scotty's voice, too... hence Doohan.

I'll take James Bond, as well.

How about 21st Century Bestsellers?

I'm shocked that "Johnny Got His Gun" seems to be as obscure as it is. Like a previous poster, possibly it is the effect of having worked in a bookstore, but JGHG is one of those books that we always had on the shelf. I don't think we ever sold a copy, mind you, but that could be said for a lot of t...
