why? that lunch consists of 3 things...seems lightdavey wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 1:39 pmNot to get all religious on everybody, but shouldn't God come first?

Consider the following:
"I am so grateful to my parents, my sister and God."
That sounds like a really messed up family tree. Or how about this one:
"Yesterday for lunch I had a sandwich, chips and mac and cheese."
Like nails on a chalkboard to me....
As to the 2d - you may not like how it looks - I don't either, for the record - but it's not ambiguous. Seems like overload for lunch tho...

I'm always surprised at how much I "don't know" things that I really do know. I had tip-of-the-tongue syndrome with "Reefer Madness" - I knew it, and I knew I had seen the film version of the musical version of the film (!?) with Christian Campbell, but I couldn't get the title in time. Still haven't seen the "original", though.

OK, if you worry that your readers will be unfamiliar with the dish (?), you've provided another choice to set it off - mac n cheese. Whether they're British or American chips is not cleared up by the comma placement...Peter the accountant wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 2:05 pmNot ambiguous? Were the chips a crushed topping on the mac n cheese? (Not a horrible combination, BTW.) Were they a separate side dish? Is this mystery food a combination of chips and macaroni with some kind of cheese as a separate dish (sounding more on the horrible side)? Are you British, implying that the chips are rectangular bits of fried potato, or are you American, making the chips thinly sliced circular bits of fried potato?
I think there's plenty of ambiguity there.

My wife is a thrift shop fanatic, so I spend a good amount of time in the vinyl racks of Goodwill et al. It's comical how hard the recording industry was trying to sell Barbra Streisand and Barry Manilow as sex symbols during the '70s.

Hey...
How would that have helped in this instance? The clues weren't connected in any meaningful way.floridagator wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 9:36 pm I ran classical music, but at least one of the reasons that the contestants had trouble with it was that they attacked it from the bottom up. It would have been much more straightforward to play from the top down, as the game is designed to be played.

In the studio yes. At home, I wouldn't have written down anything if I had a gun to my head, because I was ten billion percent certain that my only choice was wrong wrong wrong.BigDaddyMatty wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 2:52 amNow that you realize how wrong you were, you're going to start practicing writing something down, right?TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 7:29 pm Just threw up my hands in defeat and left a blank screen, which I figured was more correct than Streisand anyway.

Practicing doing something 180 degrees different from what you plan to do during the real game seems like a winning strategy.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 10:44 amIn the studio yes.

Looks like I was the only one to guess Diana Ross. And if anyone says "But she's not an actress", well, neither is BS !

It was pointed out in the thread that DR has a Best Actress Academy Award nomination.
