Re: Learned League 87 -- Nov/Dec 2020
I'll post the third quintmester synopsis of the JboardLite rundle soon - I think three lead changes and a horse race at the top. Please do it while I'm still in 1st place! In my regular rundle, I've been in the red zone all season. I've fallen and I can't get up!! So be it :lol: I am also on the ex...

Re: Learned League 87 -- Nov/Dec 2020
My interest in all things British helped me be the only one in my rundle to get "Constituencies"...but I was one of the few who did not know that Ralph wrecked the Internet. So, I guess it was a wash. This was a great get - I don't see how it pulled 29% based on the followup by boardies here. This ...

ETA: Found the "kick baler" video. If they sold 100 of these things I'd be amazed, it certainly isn't a mainstream rancher getup. It looks fun at least for 5 minutes or until the first load has to be dumped. https://machinesvideo.com/rolling-oaks-farm-hay-baling-396 The John Deere 348's been in pro...

I must issue a PSA for the non-aggies on the board: I don't know what that flying hay bale was about, but that does not resemble any form of hay hauling in this hemisphere. Somebody is punking the writers or something :lol: . There is machinery to pick up old school square bales (as in the picture),...

Re: Learned League 87 -- Nov/Dec 2020
51 for Golden Gate? I was guessing that one would be in the 90s. Serious mental miscalculation on that one since I like guessing the overall percent (not that it mattered for me; I got beered). For aa and pahoepahoe, I was curious what people guessed if they didn't know it, especially since there w...

Re: Learned League 87 -- Nov/Dec 2020
Update on the second quintmester results for the JBL: Bamaman has won 5 straight to maintain the lead with 16 points :mrgreen: ClassicRoadster has alternated with morbeedo for second and is hanging tough with 14 points. There's a bit of a gap with four players at 11 points, but morbeedo has a comman...

Re: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I'm wondering what would be the worst misspelling of this FJ! that would still be accepted. zha-VAIR? I think they should have taken Dan's rendering of "Joubert". I would have spelled something similar, but put "Inspector Jabert" or "Inspector Jabeir" and maybe even added the parenthetical (Les Miz...

I think I gave my Most Wrong Answer on the "Party" question when I answered "Lynching". I couldn't come up with anything else. :lol: This is good.

Hooray - a layup for the FJ and my first Box of Glory in at least a year! Twelvefootgirl got Tom Cruise from the photo. No help to me, they might as well have on a N95 mask. I did get Jackie Joyner from heptathlon. I think "This is not Kirk" may be able to break the left podium jinx on Monday. Thank...

Just a heads up about tomorrow's FJ: The category is going to be non-Bugs Bunny Opera. I'm 4/4 in FJ this week and they've all been instagets.

Re: Learned League 87 -- Nov/Dec 2020
News from the JboardLite private rundle: (spoilered to protect the innocent and dis-interested :).) After 5 days, the lead has changed every day. Bamaman is the current holder of the hot seat - can he hold on? ClassicRoadster, morbeedo, and twelvefootsis2 are former leaders. Singleton answers (of 10...

The Final was quite similar to https://learnedleague.com/question.php?81&17&1 What type of institution is named for the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne from Greek mythology?

I get Morbeedo right out of the gate it appears....(praying for sports questions and no theater....) Lol. Probably safe to assume my sports score won’t improve, unless he asks who just won the baseball thing Wow, that happened quick :!: . I get morbeedo (no upper case !) the next day, so don't burn...

If your high card is 6, doesn't that mean you at least have 2-of-a-kind or a straight? I should have written down the numbers :oops: . I stink at self-loathing ;).
