I didn't know yesterday was Chinese New Year until it was posted here. The Google search page was neat, google Chinese New Year and fireworks shot up from the bottom of the page and exploded, NOISELESSLY, I might add. It was just nice and made me happy to see the day celebrated, albeit only on a search page. My closest neighbor is a quarter mile away and I haven't seen (or heard) fireworks, which I have to drive about 10 miles for, for a few years. Sometimes a person at a farm down the road will fire off a shotgun on our New Years Eve, but it never wakes me up if anyone is still doing that. The last meal I had in a restaurant was Chinese, in September 2019. I love Chinese food so can't wait for us all to take a seat at our respective tables to partake in the bounty of Week 22. Yes, please! *raises hand and waves*

That's something I didn't think of, but could possibly be what happened, Joel tends to be a smartass. I did think Reubens got the better of him though, which I was glad about. I do remember the movie-house thing, which brought his demise and the end of Pee Wee for many years. I was glad to see him making a comeback after decades of being shunned. @suebee1212, I would have fangurled if I saw Mr. Reubens on the street, and made a dork out of myself. "I know you are, but what am I."

I guess I maybe maybe would have liked this episode if I were a Huey Lewis fangurl, but I'm not. Yeah, I know the name and whatnot, but I couldn't name any of his songs and wouldn't recognize him if he were sitting in front of me, even if he had on a name tag. Glen, yeah, I'm all for memorializing Glen and giving an episode in his honor. But the HL part was just so ... out there and whack. Made this episode mega stupid for me instead of a tribute to one of my fav characters/actors. I still say HL should have really known Glen on the side, which would have fit with Glen's ability to make things happen and people appear. THEN this would have been stellar ep instead of a stupid ep. Although yeah, no AGENT Keen was a plus. Maybe the only plus. Good point about the pet crematorium @paigow. Explains where the dogs and cat (maybe) are, or aren't ...

LOL! Perfect. I, too, was hoping Huey really did know Glen. That would have been mega cool.

We do need new emojis here, a yummy AND a yipee! I could use a little share-the-wealth bars of gold right now. You guys are the BEST.

I will arrange to pull up an honorary chair for you as High Scorer of the Week (well, so far anyway). You and your dim sum are welcome! Everyone is making me very happy tonight! @Mindthinkr, might I request something suitable for our Chinese New Year celebration from you? I can bring the hot tea, the only thing I can make that is safe for others to partake of. I looked up some recipes after I posted that, and discovered I don't have half of the ingredients. I can make the egg drop though, so all is not lost.

@mxc90, your post was better than this episode. I was looking forward to tonight, but this had to be one of the dumbest episodes of this series ever, and that's a pretty low bar to go under. Yes to the tribute to Glen, but everything else? Holy carp. Only MXC90's recap saved it and made me glad I came here to read it. Also wondering what Huey Lewis has on Spader.

YES! Happy Chinese New Year today, celebrating the Year of the Ox. That, plus I am really craving some hot soup, and egg drop is my fav. Well, right after hot and sour. So happy to have company. It's been a lonesome week/month. Google Chinese New Year and see fireworks! Yeay!

WEEK 22 • Feb. 8, 2021 — TWO asterisk ** * 106. World Literature. In a classic novel from 1866, the murders of 2 women take place in this city. * 107. The 50 States. While it has only 31 miles of coastline on the Atlantic, its shoreline is almost 3,200 miles thanks to a large estuary & its tributaries. 108. Historic Namesakes. This aircraft was named for the second president of the Weimar Republic. 109. The Oscars. The first time an individual won 4 awards at a single ceremony was in 1954, when his wins included Best 2-Reel Short Subject. * 110. Ancient Greek Philosophers.

Welcome to my table @illdoc. Will post clues in a bit for you PW. ETA: Welcome to my table @Browncoat. I hope more will join us. I do loves me some company.

Well, according to that doof that Clare kicked off her show, 39 IS the old-age bachelorette. So I'm sticking with that. Plus I also agree with the poster who said most of the ages on the regular Bach seasons are bogus, so ladies, bogus away and sign up. Age means nothing. This made me laugh so hard. Thanks @Arkay. This Senior Season is going to be golden. I mean, comedy golden, not age golden. Exciting! Keep us posted!

RIP Brayden Smith. So much heartbreak and sadness today.

Hoping those "final wishes" are from Keen before Red shoots her to death, making this The Best Episode EVAH.

I'm a big Paul Reubens fan so was happy to see him on this episode. I used to tape Pee Wee's Playhouse every Saturday morning, and of course saw his movies. He had me LOL more than once, and loudly, first with his "going down the steps," then with his trolling Joel, who was a jerk the other night on To Tell The Truth. I did laugh when Joel was awarded the BANKRUPT wheel placard though. I'm generally good with guessing the puzzles before the players, so was somewhat frustrated at the final puzzle solves that I kept yelling at the teevee. But I guess that's part of the game, viewers smarter than players. Again, glad everyone's charities got some cash. I hope it's used for good and not put into the pockets of the charity CEOs like so many are doing. /snark/

Bless your heart, @Clanstarling. It's nice to have company. Watching Five-O's resident eye candy Alex O'Loughlin helps distract me from my awful environment too. Even though I am wearing a stocking cap, hoodie with hood up and gloves while watching/typing this. He (almost) can make me forget real life. I like to watch Deadliest Catch in the summer when it's a 90-degree sweat box in the upper Midwest. Although my memory of that temperature is vague and not reliable at the moment.

Yeah, okay, go ahead and desert me you guys. I was thankful for yesterday since I thought I'd be at The Table For Zeros this week. Interesting that Walt Disney was easy for me, not so easy for the players. Proof again that I live in Bizarro World. I'm once again 1/5. Yeay me. The King of Consistency, if that's anything to brag about. Side note: Spending Friday watching Hawaii Five-O. It's somehow comforting to see people in shirt sleeves and surfing when it's been -10 here since Feb. 2 and will be all next week too, with snow as high as an elephant's eye. Or, as high as Saber's eye.

Just making a very quick stop in, 14 pages later, to say: The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy From our favorite song about our favorite lake and our favorite ship, the mascot of the Jeopardy thread. A favorite of the Jeopardy writers as well, it seems.

We got Tang as a special treat sometimes, instead of orange juice, because the astronauts drank it! So your mom was a modern-times mom, buying that for lucky you! Our (Episcopal) church had communion every week, or every other week, can't remember (!) but we all got the real deal wafers and wine. But the gravy-over-the-bread-cubes thing reminds me of my mom's favorite treat, left-oveer gravy on a piece of bread. It's actually quite delicious. Sunday dinner was also special. Sometimes a pot roast cooked with carrots and potatoes in one of those electric skillets with a lid. So delicious, and somehow it made its own gravy. Which now, I realize, my mom made. Heh. I've never been able to duplicate it. i even bought one of those electric skillets and still, failure. Wow. Interesting. I've been wondering about frozen pancakes, how they are. I buy the frozen waffles and they are decent I guess. I've been thinking about making pancakes, I have a box of pancake mix. Now I'm thinking I need to try to make "the real thing." Because my box pancakes, I make/eat one and I'm pretty much done. Which, I guess, is a good thing weight (mine) wise. Thanks for the tip! I should know that real is always better.

Agree. I was loving this show until tonight's episode. I thought the questions were way easier than earlier episodes, and during the chase the questions were so freaking LONG, I forgot the beginning by the time the host got to the end. Those chase questions need to be edited so they are more succinct and all the same amount of words. I just didn't enjoy this episode at all, and was bummed the players won the money. Mostly I was depressed that my favorite new show pretty much let me down tonight.

I'm with you 100 percent. Missing Doris was a big plus, Smart Ass Joel was a big minus.

Absolutely. So much this. It would be The Most Drah Mad Ick Season Evah of the Primetimer Bachelor. Just because it will be our first season is neither here nor there.

Oh, way to make me do a Mesnick over my balcony when it's freezing cold outside. But thank you @Arkay for this great honor. (Cue camera close up of my very-real tears with snot-sucking sounds added in editing.) Of course it means I am safe to post in next week's thread, so get ready for me to steal @Rainsong away from all of you losers, I mean besties, whenever I feel like being the center of attention. I need to come up with a hook. I'll have to ponder on what makes me vunnerable. @Arkay, age is just a number. If the show wants 65, be 65. I'm glad this thread is bringing some cheer to those of us who need it. You guys are the highlight of my week. The show is dreck, but you all are so much fun. I'm looking forward to next Monday and having more fun with our chico adolescente boliviano. ¡El es tan brillante! (He will know what that means.)

While Ronald's house appears to be isolated and remote, we could see all kinds of traffic whizzing by in the background when the priest was talking through the door. Even though Helena is a pretty big town, it's hard to imagine no one anywhere can ID Ronald. Unless they are using only the printed (!) newspaper and not tv or websites. I guess Mom cut his hair, bought his clothes, did the shopping, and none of her friends ever saw him, those friends who had sons more successful than he was as a trucker. It was pretty dope when Erik stapled Ron and zapped him with the taser. Got a laugh that he still had staples in his forehead later. But yeah, I wish Erik had tried to get through those bars. I wondered why there was a cage in the basement. But then, I wonder about a lot of things with this show, none of which matter. It's less crazy than some other (really bad) dramas on tv right now.

Out of the ashes, the phoenix rises. I'm guessing that's why you are a stellar cook/chef today. As for breakfast, while my mom was a good cook, breakfast was typically orange juice and a bowl of cereal. Sundays were special though, pancakes after church, and on very special Sundays, the most delicious Swedish pancakes made in a big cast-iron skillet, one at a time. Have never been able to duplicate. @SoMuchTV, my reason for leaving all Jeopardy threads except the FJ Contest is in my last post in the Season 37 thread. While I miss my friends there, I do not miss the haters.

Mine is my own actual photo too! Another LOL post. Thanks Arkay. It also reminds me that I won't be climbing any staircases in heels on Rainsong's (Primetimer) season. Go ahead and make fun of my Crocs and Birkenstocks. No broken hip for me!
