I thought I'd do poorly given that I had to use a sheep, but I'm pleasantly surprised by my score.

Congrats to the victors, and thanks to clt013!
My husband was thrilled to be out in front for one reveal, only to triple sheep the very next day. Gotta love the TD!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

Re: TD 465 - 55 [Q9-Q11 revealed]
I win the worst spanking award by forgetting to name my home state . The postal code for Missouri is a low level trivia question (since Mississippi and Michigan hogged the obvious choices), as well as our state capital.
No bonus for me either, since Kansas City took over as the largest city in 1980. I knew it was likely, but didn't realize just how much StL had depleted.
The ten point (net) punishment puts me back from 8th to join my usual sheepmates at 22nd place.
Thanks for this one - it's been a long time since I've been able to get through one with no drops and no wrong answers (incomplete answers, sure ). I am terrible at music names, artists, actors, and NCAA sports.

I was only vaguely aware of it, so I am not able to say either way. I know I'd rather spend a night behind the real Berlin wall than to spend one in Branson . The whole Westminster thing is a bit highbrow in our state where the Bass Pro store in Springfield is the leading tourist attraction with 4 million visitors a year. https://engage3.com/2020/01/bass-pro-sh ... periences/.squarekara wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 6:38 pmHave any of you MO folks seen the Berlin Wall installation at Westminster College?

I personally OD'd on museums once I started traveling a lot(and maxing out every trip on them), and while they are enjoyable, it is almost the same immersion experience as going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

Never been to Branson, but we've enjoyed Springfield's BPS and outlet store many a time. Besides Krispy Kreme and Throwed Rolls in the area, here's our favorite Springfield MO attraction:
