Almost instaget FJ for me -- I did have to think a couple of seconds, but I got it in plenty of time. I also got the TS of Mousetrap, kiwifruit, Haunted Mansion, Moet, Poe, Richmond, and Tina Turner. Me, too.

I never can remember that third Portuguese-speaking place. Victoria seemed to flag a bit in the second game. Thank goodness she got FJ. I was surprised Yogesh missed it, as it was an instaget for me.

Instaget FJ for me tonight. A refreshing change from last week, when I knew nothing. I also got the TS of a bee in your bonnet, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, James Earl Jones, Sitting Bull, semester, and folk music.

It was surprisingly difficult to throw away that set of World Books when we cleaned out my parent's house. We couldn't find anyone who'd take it, though. Mostly because it was from the late 60s or early 70s.

We had The World Book. I loved the transparencies of the human body.

A well and septic system was a deal-breaker for me, too, when I was looking at houses. We rented a vacation home through VRBO one summer, and the well pump died on day 2. It took two more days to get the replacement installed. We had to haul water from the house next door, or go to a hotel (on our own dime). We probably could have made a big stink and gotten a small refund, but it wasn't worth it, in the end.

Someone gave me a Dictionary/Thesaurus set when I graduated from high school lo these many years ago. I might still have the dictionary. Incidentally, the Scripps Spelling Bee finals are tomorrow night.

That was awesome. I watched it back when the BAFTAs were first aired, and I've lost track of how many times I've watched in since.

I am so glad Victoria recovered from that disastrous daily double!

It took me nearly the whole think music, but I got FJ! Yay, asterisk! I also got the TS of Toronto, abutment, groovy, inside passage, aversion therapy, and Sting. I still love some of the songs from Dream of the Blue Turtles.

Instaget FJ for me tonight. I only got the TS of Massachusetts and Hustle & Flow.

USA is showing a Resident Alien marathon all day today.

Thumbs up for the reference alone, @Dimity! (and for the message, too)

"Shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top." Peeve of the day -- how bloody cold it's gotten in the past couple of days. And it's going to be colder before it gets warm again. I already put my sweaters away!

Neither was she, though I guess she thought she was -- I don't think any of the examples of "irony" in her song were actually irony.
