Re: Think Different 476 (Q1 & Q2 revealed)
I didn't play because there were too many on which I had zero clue... but if I had, I would have been a smartass and named Winston Churchill as one of those who played Winston Churchill... Would have been either a singleton or a wrong answer, depending on what the host meant with his question.

Didn't expect my governor to sheep. Certainly didn't think someone in California would know her.

Re: Think Different 476 (Q1-Q5 revealed)
Strategically dropping that puts me in the lead right now. I predicted Kristy Noem would sheep and if I had answered her, it would have been a three-way sheep.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

Re: Think Different 476 (Q1-Q6 revealed)
I missed with Denver. St. Louis went unused. Pretty sure I was thinking of the mint in Denver.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

Re: Think Different 476 (Q1-Q6 revealed)
Ouch - so dropping #6 (when I would have guessed Philadelphia without knowing it was actually correct) instead of #1 (which I missed with Hopkins) costs me 6 points and sends me from a possible podium finish to the "bizarro podium" of the bottom three.

Congrats floridagator & Woppy T and thanks for the game, gamawire. The only thing missing was a bonus about roads and stadiums.
And a top 10 finish for Bamaman, way to go.
