Prevailing Wind

I have a long-time friend who would've gotten the Bangkok song in a heartbeat. There was a time in her life she was obsessed with the original cast album of "Chess" - where the song is from. She played the CD incessantly. Unfortunately, she was campaign manager for a city commissioner seat and I was a volunteer on the campaign. ALL the campaign workers were subjected to Wendy's obsession. LOL.

My late mom liked him. He did an Excedrin commercial where he referred to a really bad headache as a "bangeroo." So when Mom couldn't remember his name, she just called him Bangeroo, which we did until the end of his life.

I love how the sidebar shows "popular images" and it's all the food we're bringing to the virtual party.

Obviously, a Fuzzy Navel. LOL Thank you for Jules Verne - I got ONE this week. Corn Dogs for all... (I used to work with a woman who gossiped a lot. Talking about one of our co-workers, Linda said, "She thinks she's shit on a stick." I asked her if that was anything like a corn dog.)

I felt the same way, but decided the info was important enough to share.

Y'know, I started reading this article and just couldn't go on...even reading about the tournaments makes me weary.

But some people are just fanatics about it. My SIL vacuums & mops the kitchen and all around the island after just about every meal. She can't sit still, so this gives her something to do. Besides, her cats are sloppy eaters. LOL

This one just showed up on Acorn. Watching the ladies out in the woods, I was glad Margaret wasn't with them, but, oddly, I found myself missing Ruth. I enjoyed it anyway. But mostly, I miss George.

There was that Leverage episode where the copier was "broken" because the HR woman said it was. It wasn't; she had just loaded it up with special colored ink and counterfeiting paper. She was printing money on the sly.

Didn't think of NSA. Thought "spies"... Commie Spies! and said HUAC.

One - the Wardrobe on Monday and it was downhill from there. Shapeshifter, I love your 4 zeros on the cake. I want some. I live in Metro Atlanta and I felt that Virginia quake in 2011. It just a small lurch in the pit of my stomach and I sort of felt dizzy. I think that if I had been doing something, I would not have noticed, but I had just sat down to lunch and was sitting there, willing the food not to be SO freakin' hot so I could start to eat. LOL

Because it's always jamming or something and they always need to move it out to open the back?

Well, that was disappointing, except for the fact that no one killed Neville. I just don't care for Florence as a love interest.

Well, that should teach me not to play on the internet while watching J! Thanks for the correction. I'm no longer disappointed. LOL.

I'm disappointed that Ken thought the John Adams in the clue was "JQA" - no, it wasn't his son, Quincy.

I think they took people who look like 30 miles of bad road, treated them with Plexaderm, and now they look like 25 miles of bad road. Screaming. "We were screaming!" Well, y'know, this is the Real Deal.

I did not like him. Still don't. I think he's smug. Oh, he's probably a nice guy IRL; I just don't like him on J! When I hear "JIT," I hear it as half a word, the first half being "ID."

What rock have you been living under - stupid and unfunny is EXACTLY how these endless tournaments have been. ;-)

Two for me - Mercury & Uzebekistan

Wasn't Neville flying to Dominica? This is IMDB's blurb for episode 8 (last of the season) "S13.E8 ∙ Episode #13.8 It's the team's most confounding puzzle yet when a passenger disappears from a flight to Dominica, only to be found back in Saint Marie -murdered." This better not be a repeat of the Richard Poole thing... Grrrrr.

Obviously, "mesonoxian = pertaining to..." MESONOXIA! Duh. ETA: At the first commercial break, we got a blue screen with 11ALIVE in big letters with "Technical Difficulties" beneath. Last time I checked, they were still off the air. I'm watching Rawhide on PlutoTV, but I did check thejeopardyfan for tonight's FJ.

This is more encouraging than sad.

I'll buy the next round of doughnuts. ZERO for me! On the positive side: I don't have to care which clues were asterisks or not. Bwaahahahaha

I couldn't get through it. It's nice that she's not afraid to expose her ignorance, but, jeez, she doesn't know what a gale is? And in another instance of synchronicity, today's Mini Crossword in the NYTimes had "ROSETTA" as an answer. LOL. Matt still annoys me.
