On one hand, in your face, Chelsea!!! On the other, this weekend might be slightly awkward with my Chelsea-supporting best friend.

Doesn't help that the guy can't sing.

This was one which sounded really interesting to me, so I hope HBO eventually changes their minds.

I did get UNCF but did the same thing you did with CERN. My dad used to have some sort of obsession with Toshiro Mifune. Not sure why, as he didn't watch foreign films, but I guess the actor was in a WWII movie he saw. Dad loved his WWII movies. (Edited to note: Some googling gave me Hell in the Pacific with Lee Marvin - that had to be it.) I remembered the commercials I used to see for it, with the aforementioned "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" as the tagline. That's how I knew it. I also remember this infamous Vice Presidential moment: "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." (Vice President Dan Quayle - this was part of his address to the United Negro College Fund, whose slogan is "a mind is a terrible thing to waste")" Me too.

I said Standard Oil only because standard was in the clue. Oh well. Okay, yes, Nam was incredibly annoying in his intro. Glad Mark won.

And most of the time there's only one shift of detectives, even in a big city.

Exactly. That's what I hate the most about these commercials.

She didn't want the husband to know about the pregnancy and was afraid if she went to a clinic, he'd find out because of the time it would require. So she tried getting the medication over the internet but unfortunately what she received was not the right medicine. She had a tumor, but they weren't sure it was malignant until after the surgery to remove it. At least that was my understanding.

I also said Margaret Mitchell even though I knew it had to be wrong as hell. I was thrilled to get Indefatigable correct. Thank you, Ioan Gruffudd and your flawless cheekbones! I must've looked away and missed that. So I didn't find him annoying. But he better not do it again. Totally. He couldn't help the way the lighting worked. And I think that's why I didn't notice it in his first game, because he was in a different spot. I'm familiar with her novel from it being on every single high school reading list when I worked at Borders (or so it seemed anyway), but the name just didn't come to me. So I said something I knew had to be wrong, but maybe not as wrong as Sylvia Plath.

All we need now is for Arsenal to win the rest of their matches and City to draw one. Not holding my breath since I've been burned before.

I didn't think it worked at all. I thought it was schmaltzy crap with a stupid koombyah ending which would never happen in real life. I only watched it for the Irish scenery and even then I felt like I completely wasted my time.

I adored the first two seasons but stopped watching after they got rid of the original Ray.

Personally I was happy when they did since I never cared for the holiday movie marathons. And I don't even like NICS that much. Oh no! I didn't realize they'd cancelled it. I don't watch it every week but I've enjoyed the episodes I've seen. And now I see they renewed that horrible Elsbeth crap. Damn.

Fabien Frankel was driven off Twitter by fans who couldn't accept that someone could be a fan of characters they don't like, so I don't blame him for being careful with his words. The HOTD fandom there can be quite vicious to the actors for being on the wrong team as they see it.

I don't think he does. He just is so adrift at the moment that his perspective is pretty screwed up. There was something about him not liking that he spent all his time condemning buildings and throwing people out on the street. About the time when he met the Indian RAF veteran and acquired the cat. He moved to social work because he wanted to help people. He took care of it but didn't put the deed in their name. He kept it in his own so I imagine that will be an upcoming crisis. That last part I understand, having watched my father struggle when he lost his job shortly after I graduated high school. The situation really was a huge blow to his self-image and It was difficult for him to accept that he needed help. So I see Matthew as being in a similar mental place at the moment, with not wanting their friends to know what happened. Not that Trixie was wrong to think of the idea or suggest it, but he might've been more receptive if she'd talked to him first. I really wish we were seeing more of this storyline because it's something we haven't seen before on the show and it sounds quite interesting. That is the policy to my understanding. A few people had posted references to things which are apparently going to happen in future episodes, and those should be spoiler-tagged. She didn't tattle on Trixie. She rightfully spoke the truth because she didn't want her fellow student to take all the blame when a lot of it should and did fall on Trixie.

I'd just gotten it out of my head when it turned up in a rerun of The Big Bang Theory. It was an instaget for me because I'm familiar with the Commedia dell 'arte from whence Harlequin comes. I know about the comic book character only through cultural osmosis. I don't dislike him but I found his prominent adam's apple disturbing in this game. It reminded me of two X-Files episodes in which people died when giant spore-created creatures(?) burst through their throats. Once I thought of that, I couldn't unsee it. Isn't she being played by Lady Gaga in the sequel to the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie?

Strong? Not really. She came across as whiny and totally out of touch with what to expect in her price point to me.

I was thinking it was earlier because I liked Donny Osmond when I was 8, but I see that it ended when I was 14. Wow. I'd obviously moved on after about the first season since I definitely was over him by the time I hit 12. Must've been the Star Wars effect. That would've made sense. Perhaps he was too icked about to do that? Because of the baby. Only because of the baby.

The one person I know who has used Lume said it gave them a rash in an area where you really don't want a rash. No, I know some types of pet food should be refrigerated. I'm fussy about where in the fridge my cat food goes after the can has been opened, but that's just my own bugaboo. My objection to the commercials is that the dog owners in them insist that it isn't dog food when it is and then are asshats about it. The discussion kind of got off the original track, and I'll own up to my part in that.

Just to clarify: I have no expectations whatsoever of how someone else stores their pets' food within their own refrigerator and realize it's my own hang-up. My issue with those stupid commercials is the insistence that it's not dog food. Yes, it freaking is dog food. Expensive dog food and one which requires refrigeration, but still dog food. Having the dog owners be douchebags about it does not make me want to buy their product.

Me, too. The writers apparently did not make that up and it possibly has some basis in fact: https://www.today.com/popculture/superman-7-trivia-bits-about-gwtw-1c9397936 Edited to note that I'm glad I'm not the only one who googled that.

I knew 1819 was too early for Arkansas to be a state yet, so that led me to the original 13 colonies, and Connecticut is the first of those alphabetically. I said Sao Paulo, having gotten it and Rio backwards. The population of Sao Paulo is almost twice that of Rio. Oops.

I got the sense that she was well-off because of all the travel. And yes, she talked about the housing costs in LA but it didn't seem to me she was referring to HER housing costs. She said something like "people pay a huge percentage of their income on housing" but not that she spent that much. I'd watch it again to check, but that meant I'd have to spend more time listing to her whine, so no thanks.

Maybe there was a lot of it wrapped around her neck when she was cut down.

I don't disagree that it was more subtle most of the time in previous Races, but it's apparently not against the rules or they would've been penalized. I wasn't thrilled with it but I also don't blame the teams for working a loophole as much as they can. Asking was fine, sure, but getting upset when other teams refuse to help is ridiculous. I was really sorry no one chose it. I guess they thought it sounded like it would take more time but it looked easier than the meat task to me. That seems like it might work quite well. I would not object at all if TPTB go with that approach in the future. I thought Derrick and Shelisa were the ex-cops? I kept telling them to forget the route entirely and concentrate on what pieces of the puzzle linked up in a continuous path. Obviously they didn't listen to me. All I could figure is that she knows how bad she and Vinny are at navigation and that they really needed to be able to follow Danny and Angie. Because otherwise, yeah, that was weird.
