Oh well. I was hoping to avoid relegation to B Taiga. I knew I needed to win my last match - and I did - but the people ahead of me needed to lose - and they tied instead. So many near misses this season - just one question along the way could have kept me above the red line. That said, I started in...

I am slightly vexed that I couldn't remember Diana Nyad, and ended up with Gertude Ederle as a famous swimmer. In addition to her swimming career, Nyad used to do commentaries on sports for NPR. She has a nice voice. I recently learned about Ederle, and as it goes, out went Diana Nyad - but I do ha...

Also missed the book question by guessing lemon. I've never heard of that book. I cannot believe that one played easier than Risky Business. I only knew the book because I had to read it in my 8th grade English class. I only remember it coming up in quiz bowl or trivia once or twice previously, and...

I asked about both HMS Terror and the Flying Dutchman in my Learned League One Day Special on Doomed Voyages

Butt rose, butt rose. Golly! Frustratingly, I couldn't remember Bob's full mnemonic, and so had to rack my brain for the correct answer. Only 14% got it right? That seems low. Who’s Bob? Kids these days. ;) Lol that Bob. I follow him on Twitter! I did read his book in the before time but didn’t rem...

I remembered the previous question about Halt and Catch Fire from LL74 (Sep 2017) but couldn’t recall the name of the series three years later - and why should I?

Thorsten must have really loved this show ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was nice to see Cody pick up the Hawkman clue after talking about Comic-Con, but William and Mary - he hardly knew ye!

How is Josephine a triple stumper?

8/12 on the Mid-Season Classic. Sub-optimal moneying but good enough for a Top 10% finish and Rundle qualifier - though not a great overall finish for Taiga (64th place!) Surprised that Marbury v. Madison played harder than Wagyu Got credit for Beider Manhoff (for Baader Meinhof) I might have pulle...

Stupid Bronte 50/50/90... my coin landed on its side, so I only put the last name and got credit. I considered putting a first name, as that would be the norm in this situation, but because there is no way to be asked BMS in this game, and because it didn't say "first and last name required" as has...

Monty Python is on my list of topics to learn more about, but the little I know was enough to get this FJ pretty quickly, after swatting away Pink Panther I got a bit tongue-tied on Schlemiel/ Schlimazel, so I clammed. RIP Squiggy Speaking of tongues, I had to bite mine a lot during this game. arghh...

For some reason Gabriel reminded me of mid 70s Dan Akyroyd.

I got a Weird Al vibe from him.

I got Dacre Montgomery who played Billy on Stranger Things

Alex's imitation on "my precious" is scarier than the movie character itself.

Lol so right

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!!

Roughly equivalent to "congressional districts" in the United States, what is the standard term used in the United Kingdom for the 650 electoral areas through which members of the House of Commons (MPs) are elected? What made 9% come up with "riding"; would like to know what I'm not seeing with tha...

TIL the Blues in Blues Brothers refers to the family name

Cats! Never seen it, never will

Oh! Does anyone know if the show has expanded casting beyond Los Angeles and the environs?

Only for hosts!

Well, ok then! I’m already here

I had to read the game show question a few times before homing in on Newlywed Game as the show that would award prizes to a couple

No credit for ARPNET- the omission of A cost me the match. Argh.
