You obviously were thinking of the OTHER director/writer, Willy Bilder.

A nice view ... of the stirrup pants. But what's up with the long coats?

Oh yes, there is plenty of room at the T41. I just want my regular chair, which has become molded to my shape for ultimate long-time comfort. Hoping a few more will join us, maybe someone who can bring snacks, treats and drinks ...

I got the TSs of J.D. Salinger and trees. I also liked the shout out to stirrup pants, too funny because of our discussion about them just the other day. For FJ I said John Houston. I suppose AT would have cracked at me that he's not funny either, just like Hitchcock wasn't. I'm reclaiming my T41 chair, thank you very much, so back off Browncoat.

Jeez, thanks @Browncoat, I forgot it was Friday. Where does the time go. WEEK 15 • Dec. 21, 2020 — NO asterisk 71. (Season 21, Game 29—Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004) Famous Americans. After his public comments were criticized by FDR, he resigned his Air Corps Reserve commission in April 1941. 72. (Season 22, Game 147 — April 4, 2006) German Americans. He famously remarked, “We are all the President’s men”, giving Woodward & Bernstein their title. 73. (Season 24, Game 14 — Sept. 27, 2004) Men of Medicine. After giving birth in Paris, American Marjorie Karmel wrote “Thank You” him & co-founded an organization now. 74. (Season 24, Game 42 — Nov. 6, 2007) Historic Names. He is quoted as saying, “Another such victory over the Romans, and we are undone.” 75. (Season 25, Game 93 — Jan. 15, 2009) Writer/Directors. His headstone, using a line from one of his scripts, says, “I’m a writer but then nobody’s perfect.”

I tend to agree with the Brit. His clue-choosing theory seems to have worked for CERTAIN PLAYERS. I personally like board hopping and looking for DDs and more money. As do the players who do that and keep winning several games in a row. If it's a category I am comfortable in, I don't need to start with the easy peasy, I'm heading right to the high dollars.

Kromm, that is a brilliant video, thanks for posting. I loved the Brit's comments and questions; it would be excellent if he ever were on the show. He knocked out so many answers so easily, including the TS FJ. Interesting comments about Checker Cabs too. I also enjoyed his questioning why players start at the top and work down a category, wouldn't they want to get the highest clues out of the way so their opponents don't have a chance to win that money? LOL! I totally agree with that thinking, as did players who came along later. This episode was from 2013, season 30, although I didn't remember it at all. I'll have to check out what this fellow has won in Britain.

Maybe many of YOU thought that, but not one single one of US did. That's the only name I could come up with too. Hannibal, the elephant guy. I figured it was tough going, riding elephant over mountains.

Nowhere close to the frozen tundra where I live. Do you know what Santa would say if his sleigh were pulled by horses instead of reindeer? "Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Holy cow! Tornadoes! That's one thing not to worry about at my house where it's -15 degrees with 40mph winds. Craig and Celeste looked familiar to me, so I know I was watching the show in 2007. I started my own business in 2006 so was able to watch this show for the first time ever. I just don't remember when I started the habit. I got the TSs of menudo, granite, vortex and carnival glass. I used to be an avid collector of certain items so that was a good category for me. I also liked the Buffet category, being a big fan of food. Back when I was traveling a lot for business, it was my goal to order a Crème Brûlée in every city. That it was a clue brought back some good memories. Of course all three players got FJ, the answer being a person I'd never heard of in my entire life. He isn't even a glimmer in the back of one brain cell. Do you guys know why Santa is always so jolly? Because he knows where all the naughty girls live. Here's hoping Santa pays a visit to each and every one of you tonight.

To all my friends on Primetimer. From Saber, with a little help from my friends.

Michael Johnson was real machine on the buzzer Wednesday. The other two players kept looking at each other, gobsmacked, like we don't even get to buzz in? I looked Michael up and was surprised to see he was a one-day champ. I thought for sure he would have made it to TOC. The person who defeated him the next game must have been something. I got a couple TSs but didn't care enough to write them down. Like one of the players, I guessed Spock for FJ because I could think of no other doctors that would be birthing babies. I never knew Lamaze was a real guy.

Thank you Mindthinkr! All caught up now. And time to drag in this BIG box, it's a present, all gift wrapped and with a big red bow on top. *unwrap, upwrap, crinkle paper (save bow), open box ..." and VOILÁ! It's our winners of Week 14. I say "winners" because by some Christmas miracle we have FOUR winners this week. Yes, four. These four players achieved their first perfect week for the first perfect time this season. And those brainiacs are ... the brilliant @Clanstarling, the amazing @illdoc, the astounding @j5cochran and the oh-so-smart @zoey1996. Congratulations you Four Wise Acres. I mean, Wise Players. It's fitting the week of Christmas we have multiple Wise People among us. Enjoy your glorious week you Fantastic Four!

Just waiting for @Mindthinkr to check in, then it will be time to unwrap a pretty great Christmas Gift for some pretty great players.

Actually, dogs only sweat through one part of their bodies, their foot pads. At dog shows during very hot weather, handlers will stand their dogs on a wet towel to help keep them cool. Dogs will also leave wet footprints when it's hot and they've been sweating. As for panting, dogs pant to let body heat escape through their mouths. No sweating involved there at all. And not all dogs pant while delivering puppies. It depends on the situation. Mostly, they don't. The ones that do pant do so from stress, not sweating or to "help" them have contractions.

Is that the General Omar Bradley Method? Interesting you gave birth outside. I guess the no screaming is so the wolves don't come to eat the afterbirth. I hope the doctors didn't expect to get paid for eating dinner while not birthing babies.

I wondered what happened the day before to cause AT to comment about how bad the beginning and ending were. Felt sorry for the champ when he said that. Someone noted on TJF site that Michael went on to win the TOC that year. I like the "Boop boop beep boop" when the clues are loaded onto the board. It's somehow calming. Wish they still did that. I got salud, protein (eggs!) and Shopaholic. I like how excited Michael was when he was declared the new champ. That was cool. FJ was easy for me today, which is amazing. I'm back at the Table For One. So far anyway. AT with Elmo made me tear up at the end. Then the extended scenes with Elmo made me laugh. So thanks show, for pulling me out of the dumps. I spend too much time there lately.

Tayshia: "Me and you." Me: "You and I."

Oh look, the ring-box lid says Neil Lane! Who knew?

Most.Dramatic.Ending.EVAH!

I would like it better if Zac said he didn't want to marry her but they could be friends. A la Juan Pablo! Best Ending EVAH!

That looked like Big Pete driving T's limo. It still freaks me that those long gowns drag on the dirty dirt ground. I know the show will take care of it (and the cleaning bill!), but the practical side of me says to stop it and not let it happen.

Zac: "I think she believes in me." Me: "Thank goodness you put the "in" in that sentence."

Show's not over yet! There's still time.

Oh, T, you and your white toes are NOT going on DWTS. Good thing T's dress has that gathered elastic waist band, something for her boobs to rest on.
