I was thinking about the FJ clue wrong and said Baltic and Bering.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say John was the first J! contestant to wear a shirt with a bigfoot motif.

Itawamba, Yazoo & Yalobusha, but not YoknapatawphaBigDaddyMatty wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 12:54 amI'm not sure how snarky you're being here, but FYI, Yoknapatawpha is the fictional Mississippi county in which Faulkner set many of his stories. It's definitely a Pavlov worth filing away. You don't have to actually know/be able to pronounce the name. You just have to recognize it and match it to Faulkner/Mississippi.twelvefootboy wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 11:01 pm I couldn't place Yazoo County, so I guess I'm not a Faulkner fan. Mayim came off a little snarky on that one.
Thanks for 'splaining. I looked at the gibberish names and only saw Yazoo as a potential TOM, and didn't even notice the anti-TOM/Faulkner hint. That led me to Jerry Clower and Yazoo City, but not quickly enough for me to complete the circuit to Mississippi. When Mayim made her comment I assumed one of the counties was Faulkner's birthplace and she was throwing shade because they didn't know that.
Yeah, he was rocking that shirt and I thought I'd have to get one until I saw the creatures on it. You only wear a shirt like that once .This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 11:28 am

I'm surprised it comes in different sizes; should it only come in XXXXXXXXL?

I stayed clam on aileron because I was afraid of mispronouncing it.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
