I didn't know Newfoundland is an island and Nova Scotia is not! I'm just saying, those two on the tv aren't the only people in the world who wouldn't have gotten that FJ.

Nova Scotia means New Scot-Land, no? It's not that far from New-Found Land, if you're working from New Land, which honestly could be anything, couldn't it?? And I couldn't do jack on the "only A" category. I guess what I'm saying is, the game was not easy for me today!

On "Rock Around the Clock," I'm pretty sure the clue specified 1955 #1 hit, not 1955 release, which is right. And on "Purple Rain," I was sympathetic because didn't the clue say something like "only want to see you laughing here"? So he finished the phrase.

...uh oh.

I was rooting for Alex, even though I'm not crazy about a septum piercing, but I did like her Wednesday Addams outfit.

I cannot believe that Wynton Marsalis was a $2000 clue WITH a picture AND no first name! Sheesh.

There's this reality show called It Takes A Choir, where this English choirmaster goes around and brings communities together through the power of group singing. So there was a marathon on yesterday, and in one of the episodes, he goes to West Covina! And starts a senior citizens' choir, because apparently it is a large retirement community. So far, no Josh Chan.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what they said.

It wasn't as bad as that Nutcracker question!

Take care, photo fox!

Seriously. How does he make his face do that????

I only just watched last night's episode, but was devastated that Mark lost! So very close! I don't know if I'd ever be able to make a small FJ wager, because you never know what the actual clue will be, but man.

I've been out of town, and I'm not going to lie -- I'm pretty glad I didn't miss any gameplay!

Yeah, I've been totally out of the loop for a couple of days and have no clue BUT for no good reason, I am skeptical of the Mark DL. Maybe more gameplay today/tonight would help? (But then I'm going out of town for a long weekend and will probably be no help again...) 2 to DL SilverStormm (MarkHB, Jesse), 5 to choose the other side of the coin 1 to DL The Crazed Spruce (Lady Calypso) 6 to make a huge mistake 5 to DL MarkHB (Drogo, HM, Spruce, Oinky Boinky, aquarian1), 2 to Make It So.

Ah -- that's the Armenian community, for anyone who doesn't know greater Boston.

That's what I was gonna ask!!

Oh man!

Me too!!

It was Alex who said it was a cameo, not the contestant.... 20 years ago (yikes!), second and third place won prizes, not cash at all, and of course the prizes are taxed.

I know the difference between vegan and vegetarian, and also that you can make pasta with semolina flour and water and salt. Most dry pasta is vegan, isn't it?

Team Vegan could have done a nice pasta dish with actual pasta!

Every time I read this thread, it makes me want to eat the vegan potato tacos at a local-to-me restaurant!

Yeah, agreed.

You guys, last night I had to say "genre" and I said it like Alex! It's an epidemic! Agreed. I only saw her first show, and she clearly had taken care with her appearance, etc., and I thought she was just fine!

So everyone else said what I was going to about the Purlettes, labor laws, and etc. If you're retired and want to knit for fun, you can do what you want with the results. If you're part of the labor in a business, you need to make minimum wage. And yes, if folks are using Medicaid, that could become a problem. On the suitcase, I think it's "not for women" because women are stereotypically not going to spend twice the price on something just because it's gadget-y. And that photo of Manbun is priceless.
