Re: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS) by Archivists
I have a feeling that FJ clue was pretty easy for those of us in the over 50 demo. Avon was a bigger deal 40 years ago. Would younger people even know Avon exists? I'm 34 and I got it, but probably because I watched Edward Scissorhands and remember "Avon calling!" Depends if they're fans of Edward ...

Re: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I knew the book Pioneers (I own a bookstore) but then went and confused Cooper with Jack London. Then said Kipling for Tolstoy—the name did not sound particularly Russian to me. Did Mike say the name with a bit of a Russian accent? No nearly as strong as Alex would sometimes do, but I thought I hea...

Apparently I can't count to 8 fast enough for crossword clues - I thought "trinket" was 8. I don't know why I thought a talisman could also be used for evil or bad luck (ie the monkey paw from the Brady Bunch), but I guess it's for good luck, mainly.

The clue never said it was. So you would have been okay with CSNY or NKotB being in the category?

Re: Thursday, February 18, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Prosecco was my favorite WAG of the night Prosecco seemed like a great guess to me. I said Asti, but when she said Prosecco I thought she could possibly be correct, and turns out Prosecco is also named for an Italian town. [not sure if you're implying that Prosecco was a poor guess or a good one] M...

Re: Friday, February 5, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
One of those FJs I like because it's not something you're likely to know, but you have to connect the dots to get to the answer. I was surprised it was a TS, though. I was visiting the Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine at George Washington University Hospital just this week. The hospita...

Not good for me as I sheeped with the contestants in having nothing better occur to me other than common Irish counties such as Clare and Cork. The name I tried to recall, but was nowhere near was Ulster. It's impossible to see all the streaming shows that hit my radar while I do try to sample some...

It would've been funny if Ken had read "Houyhnhnms" onomatopoetically, à la Alex's Dracula accent. That would've given away the correct response, as Alex sometimes did, and it would've been worth it. Any wagers as to whether KJ copies/honors Alex on "Dracula" when given the chance? I say yes. "Robb...

Priscilla Barnes led me astray on the "crane" TAE KWON DO clue - she was the replacement for Chrissy/Suzanne Sommers on Three's Company, and her cheesy 80s "smile at the camera while my name appears on the bottom" pose during the opening theme was standing like a flamingo in front of...well, flamin...

I HATE THE TIEBREAKER Amen. I can't imagine that the reason for it is simply $$, as it can't possibly make that much of a dent in the J! budget if they have to give out two first prizes once per season or so. Doesn't strike me as more emotionally satisfying this way either. I would just hate-hate-h...

Re: Tuesday, January 19, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
FJ was a welcome WAG as my thought process was: "They're clearly looking for a motel/hotel chain with an amount in the name. Motel 6? Were rooms really that cheap back then? I got nothing better so let's try it..." To echo Mark's point, you gotta know your 7 Wonders guys. I knew he was doomed when ...

Re: Friday, January 15, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I am in a couple American history groups on Facebook so I have seen this mentioned there. But I agree it isn’t a great FJ. A little digging told me she has never met Biden. She also did not accompany her parents when they visited FDR. I was wondering why the clue specified “sitting” President. Was ...
