Good Queen Jane

Pat tweeted what's going on: It’s a bit confusing, but here’s the deal: Vanna will be hosting this coming week and the next. Then two weeks of shows I taped before my surgery. Then Vanna again the week of Jan. 6 with a special guest at the puzzle board. Then the planets will realign, and it’s back to normal. — Pat Sajak (@patsajak) December 7, 2019

2/5. I blame it on too much egg nog.

Ditto! (4/5, 1*)

Very close scores in the Rhythm Dance. P/C are only a little over a point over H/D. No blowout for P/C (at least so far.)

3/5 with one *.

Sorry, they're all in hibernation for the winter. I'll send a picture in the spring, assuming they don't disappear on a walkabout in the meantime.

1/5, no * (and I'm ashamed to admit that the only one I knew was about garden gnomes. My friends tease me about my collection.)

1/5, no *. At least I'm one of the crowd.

2/5. But since I also said Dada for Cubism and the Tiger from Jungle Book for Friday's FJ, I am hoping to bask in @saber5055' s approval based on the responses above.

There was no TOC last year. They did the All Stars game instead. So this TOC covers winners in the last two years.

4/5, 1*.

My first thought was Steinbeck for Grapes of Wrath, but I thought 1952 was too late for that book. So I went elsewhere. Close, but close, as my grey-haired father used to say, only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. @saber5055, are you going back to your pre- Halloween avatar? Your current one is freaking me out!

Although Tiger wasn't a pro in 1992, he was already the youngest winner of the US Amateur and then won for a second time in 92. I remember he got a lot of TV time for that tournament. He also played in a PGA tour event as an amateur that year.

3/5, 2*

I didn't know FJ but as soon as the answer came up, I went "Leadville Johnny Brown!" The Unsinkable Molly Brown was my high school play, so I spent the rest of the evening reminiscing about my brief musical theater career.

4/5, no *. I'm on a roll!

Nope, you use the cane on your good side.

Jason Brown did his short program two years ago to "The Room Where It Happens." He got high marks on it. ETA: Sorry, I just realized you were talking about Dance programs, not just any skating program. Never mind.

3/5 with an *.

Woo-Hoo! 5/5. Of course, I'm still averaging under 50%.

I have it. You can watch the past competitions On Demand.

1/5. I sense a trend; a very bad trend.

Has none of the doctors at Grey Sloane ever heard of birth control?

1/5 but at least the 1 was an *.
