The TMZ pap got Ken and Brad in NYC and asked them some questions while they continued to walk away into a hotel, so they answered over their shoulders. Harvey did an interview with AT a year or so ago and AT told Harvey he was ready to retire. So Harvey named who he's been hearing might be on the short list to replace him. Meanwhile, the TMZ staff thought Will Ferrell as AT would be excellent. That gets my vote too. Not sure if the clip would be on TMZ's site, I saw it live on tonight's episode. The show gave Ken some snark, which was pretty funny. "ouch"

This made me literally LOL. So thanks.

Well, the preview convinced me to not tune in next week.

AGT is over so now I have this on. Just in time to see the above, and now I'm wondering W(hy)TH I turned the channel when I could be watching a Munsters rerun. So Hannah competed in all those pageants and cried her eyes out on her season AND bawled every week on DWTS and no one has told her about water-proof mascara?

Wow, i wondered where you guys went. I thought everyone came to their senses and bailed on this dreck of a show. No such luck!

I fixed it for you. You're welcome.

I got Moscow, mining, Samuel de Champlain (I think AT forgot the "de") and hen. FJ was one of my favorite books, if not my very favorite. I've never forgotten Yossarian in a tree, and Major Major Major Major, plus I've lived through many Catch 22s in my life.

I'm reading here while I watch AGT because you guys rock and are much more fun than the actual show.

All Before My Time! since I have no memory of any of the above. The longer I'm in this thread, the younger I keep getting.

My thoughts exactly, 100 percent. I don't see any appeal in Peter, and all the promos promoting all the crying and Peter "finding it all so difficult,' and then Hannah ... good god, I quit watching DWTS because of Hannah. I'll stop in here to read the snark, but I'll be watching AGT. As a viewer since the beginning, this show has lost me. At least for this season. I don't give a care if Peter finds love or anything else on his "journey."

Yeay for Orion Samuelson! What you have turned into is a person with eclectic interests and knowledge and, therefore, someone who is the perfect jeopardy player. That, plus because of the crazy spring and summer weather, crop reports have been very interesting this year.

LOL! I listen to WGN at night, overnight and mornings, and the Blain's commercials are still playing. Horse blankets on sale!

I found the pilot okay, but I don't think I paid a lot of attention since I didn't have a clue who the prison guards were or who got killed, but none of that mattered. I wondered why the new sheriff had to have a body guard/personal assistant. Did the dead sheriff have one too? And where did the body guard chick come from, they grabbed her out of some pool of applicants the same day she was assigned? *hand wave* Her lesbian "second date" joke was all kinds of stupid given she was talking to her boss. But her "I got silver in dressage" was pretty funny. I guess viewers had to be told how modern the show is, having a lesbian character. I'll tune in again if nothing else is going on, and to look at Stephen Dorf. Maybe that's why I missed so much of the plot line, mindless staring at the lead. As for the foster kids, yeah, that happened all pretty quickly. Another hand wave. I guess we have to wait a few seasons for the kid to murder his foster dad. Meanwhile, get the kid some therapy, dad.

Now you can say you've cyber-seen it in Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and Illinois. Blain's Farm & Fleet sells it under its own label in dark- and light-chocolate versions. It's currently on sale since it's considered a Christmas treat. If we'd had this conversation a day earlier, I would have bought a bag of each when I was there yesterday. @Sharpie66, I'm two hours from Joliet but have never heard of G-Shaft candy, so thanks for the heads up. And @peeayebee, Violet Crumble is new to me as well. Where do you find it?

Wow, blast from the past. And yes, I'm old too. The only Hunnicutt I know is B.J., so I looked up Gayle. I still don't know who she is. She obviously was Before My Time!

Anyone looking for sponge candy, it can be found in Small Talk.

Lobsters and those darned catfish, scourge of the waters!

Sponge candy is delicious, but it's been years since I've thought of it, or had any. It's easy to make, just sugar, corn syrup and a little vinegar cooked to 300F, then put in a bit of baking soda, which makes it bubble up. Pour into a pan, let it harden, and it looks like a sponge or honeycomb -- light and airy and crunchy and sweet and delicious. After chunking it up, most people dip the pieces in chocolate. My farm store sells it, it carries all sorts of candy and chocolates. It's a one-stop shop, buy your sheep dewormer, jeans, oil filters, calf milk replacer, baby chicks, coats, shoes and sponge candy. Now I have to buy some next trip to the big city.

And all the poor people were forced to eat lobsters, so plentiful that they were considered junk food. Those were great days to be poor!

Special notice to @lb60: James is scheduled to be on Live With Kelly and Ryan Monday morning.

I remember when those women in Trapped were found. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch their story, but I did and it was gripping. I wondered how the little girl born there could grow up normally now, given all the SM bullying and so forth given to kids who don't have a father or back story like she does. But we were told all is fine and dandy with her. I hope so. I also wondered what happened to the son of the first woman captured. He was never mentioned again, after we were told he was taken away by Family Services before she was kidnapped. It's amazing that family and friends kept up their search for those 10 years. And good on those women for being able to tell their stories. I wish them all the best.

WEEK 17 • Dec. 30 — NO asterisk 76. 1950s People. In a New Yorker profile, he said, “Where I like it is out west in Wyoming, Montana, & Idaho, & I like Cuba & Paris.” 77. Business & Innovation. Stuck with 260 tons of unused turkey in late 1953, this co. ordered aluminum trays & sold 10 million units of a new item in 1954. 78. Single-Named Performers. The last single-named actress to win an Oscar was this woman who won for her supporting role in “Precious.” Mo’Niqu 80. Scientists. About 100 years before Darwin, this naturalist put orangutans & humans in a group with the Latin name “Homo.” 81. Constitutional Amendments. Until a 1913 amendment allowed this, 1/3 of U.S. government revenue came from liquor.

No to GOAT FJs being included in the contest since a regular episode will air the same day. I'm guessing many will comment here on TSs (good luck on that) and FJs they get though.

Never. And I know plenty of people from Michigan. And none have ever said, "I live on the second knuckle of the little finger" either. Those fingers were REALLY distracting in those Michigan clues. All the Michigan people I know are able to say, "I live 20 miles northwest of Dearborn (@Grundoon59 shout out) without feeling the need to show me their palm. There used to be definite regions, but people move so much these days, lines are blurred, on everything. Example, I can buy Blue Ribbon cane syrup in Illinois now, as well as red beans and rice. And grits!
