Although Ken said it was "radio detecting ...", but it's "radio detection ..." (and sonar -- no caps any more -- is "sound navigation and ranging".

Nothing for me on FJ other than it’s in Chicago. M

Got BLM right, but had to stop myself from saying the wrong BLM.

I think Party like it’s… would be acceptable.

I thought myself clever for coming up with the obviously correct "Smithsonian" for FJ. Too bad it wasn't the right answer! If I had made the Chicago connection I could have gotten it.

Amy -- congrats on the new record.

I thought the R&B category was really tough. I can tell you literally nothing about Boyz II Men or LL Cool J, and En Vogue and Montell Jordan were NHOIs for me.

No guess on the top two in TV and Film but I got the next three. I thought the top box was way too obscure.

I know of Marshall Field's, and have been to Chicago many times, but Field Museum was a NHOI for me.

2-6-10 for me in Hip-Hop which I'll gladly take any day.

ZG in TV while a get for the contestant (and myself), is one I agree is not top box. Not that the show/actor is too obscure, but not $400 DJ! appropriate.

On the marital temptation clue in the Year Of Before And After category I was rooting for a year that ends in 69.

I’ve only ever heard ol’ cat-head called Bastet, but Wikipedia backs them up on Baset and a host of other variants. Good boards for me overall, though I don’t know that I could’ve rung in in time for those B&A clues.

I’ve been to the Field (and Marshall Field’s) often enough that it just required me to recall where the 1893 Columbia Exposition was. Fortunately, I talked myself out of St Louis.

All the other correct responses just had the year followed by some verbiage. But this was the first clue and I didn't know how it worked.
Songs aren't penalized if the lyrics are otherwise correct and it fits the theme so it's good in my book. Admittedly that book is "The Cat in the Hat" so, YMMV.

TY Ace Ventura! (and they edited this snippet nicely!)

Plenty of sources agree with Ken on radar, even scientific ones - in fact, some sources have used detection and detecting almost interchangeably (horrors!)

I mentioned Zach Galifianikis here the other day, so the spelling is fresh in my mind...Nice to see Eric Wareheim and Tim Heidecker get a shout out, too.
Imagine if someone had said Broadcast Music International for BMI...! :roll:

The only Chicago museum I could think of was the Art Institute, so for a named museum I thought maybe it's Philadelphia and the Barnes Foundation... Doesn't quite fit with artifacts rather than art in the clue...:roll: :roll:

I got this FJ instantly, but I remember that I used to think it was called the "Field Museum" because it displayed artifacts found in "the field." Not sure when I realized it was actually named for Marshall Field, but it had to be a bit of a facepalm at the time.

ROMA LIFE & CULTURE, eh? You writers wouldn't be doing a little penance for a certain incident last April, would you?
That was my thought, too.

Also porcupine, also Anne Rice.

I never can remember RADAR but it's not a very good acronym, so no apology.

I've seen the Zach guy's name but never read it all the way through. I also couldn't have named anything he was ever in, so I agree he was tough for the top row.

Pretty sure the Christie novel was "The Pale Horse", but no extra points for that, alas.

It's nice when they spot you words like "agency" and "adminstration" from an initialism, but I don't think a BLM clue should spot you "lands".

So there's no Great Silos National Park? Fine, I'll stay home.
I'm smart and I want respect.

I probably lived a year in Chicago motel rooms over the course of 100 or so business trips. Been to the Field Museum a handful of times. Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium are all right there on the lakefront as well. I never made, or forgot the connection of the Field name and would have almost guessed it was named after a field (it is close to Soldier Field). Luckily the spelling kept me from the same mistake on the Shed :lol:.
I just couldn't believe it was Smithson's place, and picked Getty, knowing it was probably about 40 years too early, unless of course he just wanted to get them out of that shed in Chicago.

I actually watched this episode, but once it hit blowout mode in DJ, I muted it and read it like I would from the archive. After watching 4 walk-off NFL endings this weekend (that all went my way :)), I just didn't want to see a runaway.

Credit to Erin for at least going all-in on DD-1, something that would seem obvious but apparently isn’t always. Credit to Joanne for the single solve in FJ.

Amy loses another $25,000 but all it is doing is keeping her from third place on the regular season money list.

At least Erin came out like she was trying to win. DD hunting and going true DD. Too bad it didn't work out for her. Erin and Joanne almost managed to stay with Amy on the buzzer in SJ, but once DJ hit, Amy was off to the races again.

That's actually pretty much how I solved it. I remembered Chicago's Wrigley Field, and for a moment wondered whether the museum could have been named after Wrigley.... then the other half of that name kicked in for the answer.

Probably a big facepalm, as my facepalm moment on the subject was...yesterday (my face is still very red and bruised). Now that I know this, I will probably always remember the name of "that one in Chicago".

I'm in Chicagoland, and there's a lovely forest preserve west of the city called Waterfall Glen. Imagine my shock the day I learned it was named after a county official called Seymour "Bud" Waterfall.

Good thing it's not fully named for him, because if it was named "Seymour Waterfall", everyone would go there looking for the rest of it...

I'll see myself out.
