Clanstarling March 7, 2021 Share March 7, 2021 I rocketed to 2/5 this week. Yay me! 2 1 Link to comment
Grundoon59 March 7, 2021 Share March 7, 2021 2/5 - no * (kind of mad I missed the asterisk but my brain was too busy rocketing around France to settle in time - very happy with the company/menu at the table and will happily add a few nibbles to the mix. Also I have a really good sangria recipe if there is any extra red wine.) 4 Link to comment

biakbiak March 7, 2021 Share March 7, 2021 5/5 with 1 *. Thanks to my former roommate who is one of the world’s biggest Journey fans and also worked on Boeing’s Apache helicopter team! 5 Link to comment
j5cochran March 8, 2021 Share March 8, 2021 Week twenty-five: two of five with no asterisks. I was so sure that I was right on Friday - it had to be the Village People, since I kept hearing YMCA on the news over and over again! 2 1 Link to comment

Toothbrush March 8, 2021 Share March 8, 2021 3/5 no * The only one I was sure of was helicopter. Netanyahu & Journey were guesses; almost went with Bon Jovi. 2 Link to comment
Good Queen Jane March 8, 2021 Share March 8, 2021 1/5 no *. What must I do, O Jeopardy gods, to appease you for my previous hubris? On the other hand, I do get to sit at the Fun Table. 1 4 Link to comment
PBnJay March 8, 2021 Share March 8, 2021 5/5 and one *. I studied up on the Louve before I went, so it was fortunate for me that was an * due to what I thought was a strangely worded clue. 4 Link to comment

saber5055 March 9, 2021 Author Share March 9, 2021 (edited) TOOT TOOT! And that trumpet, my friends, says we are ready to find out who is the Winner of Week 25. And that person is ... TOOT TOOT! the person who TOOT TOOT DOUBLED her score from Week 24 to Week 25, the player who goes by the name of ... TOOT TOOT! ... @helpmerhonda. Yes, this player didn't just score higher, she TOOT TOOT DOUBLED her score over two weeks. And here to commemorate this historic event is the FJ Contest Star of the Week trophy, "TWICE IS GOOD," just for helpmerhonda. Congratulations my friend, and feel free to let this honor go to your head. All you other players, buckle down and maybe YOU, yes YOU, could be Winner of Next Week.

saber5055 March 11, 2021 Author Share March 11, 2021 Well, my seat at the T41 is open if anyone wants it. Big old-time radio and James Bond fan. And still two days left. *sigh* At least my pre-clue-reveal guess of Dune was wrong, as was my after-clue-reveal guess of firefly. Because, well, FIREFLY! I guess I should have watched more Ashton Kucher movies. 2 Link to comment

saber5055 March 13, 2021 Author Share March 13, 2021 WEEK 26 • March 8, 2021 — ONE asterisk ** 126. Radio History. A 1949 broadcast in Spanish of this drama from 11 years before caused mass panic in Ecuador & the destruction of the radio station. 127. Science Fiction. In a 1952 sci-fi story, a time traveler returning to the present finds a dead one of these insects on his shoe. 128. Literary Thrillers. The only Ian Fleming James Bond novel not told in the third person, it’s narrated by one of 007’s paramours. 129. Foreign Newspapers. Representing its outspoken tone, this newspaper founded in the 19th century has the name of a free-spirited opera character. *130. Historic Places. 8 Pres. have visited this battle site with an Algonquian name about 50 miles from Washington; for McKinley, it was a return visit.* 1 Link to comment
Driad March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 4/5, 1 *. Could suggest that the Table for 4 play bridge, but I never learned. In college there were often people playing bridge, and they seemed to be having fun. But after a while I realized that every semester they were different people. 2 Link to comment
Prevailing Wind March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 I don't know how to play bridge, either. Nor poker nor chess. I'm too old to learn chess now with it myriad rules of how the pieces can move. I'm good with Monopoly or Clue, though. LOL 3 Link to comment
j5cochran March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 Week twenty-six: five for five with the asterisk! Woohoo! As the week went on, I got more and more nervous, afraid there'd be a Final Jeopardy of Baseball Statistics or Pop Music Stars of the 1990s to trip me up. When Friday's category was Historic Places, I felt a bit better - I'm pretty good at history. When the clue came up . . . I just grinned. I ran a Civil War category in my game! Now I've run this week! 7 Link to comment
Clanstarling March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 2/5. Monday and Tuesday were in my wheelhouse (science fiction related). I predicted I'd go downhill from that good start. Just call me Nostradamus. 3 Link to comment
Ailianna March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 3/5 with no *. I'm slowly improving? It's been a long month already. 🙂 4 Link to comment
Grundoon59 March 13, 2021 Share March 13, 2021 3/5 with one *. Anyone want to suggest a food/board game theme for the table? Two of my three this week had emotional attachments for me. Father Grundoon was an Orson Welles fan (especially Mercury Theater) and listened to the original War of the Worlds broadcast - he always said he understood people's overreactions to the well done drama but he felt they all should have been listening from the beginning like he did and they would have avoided a lot of issues - 😄. Likewise he was the one who got me hooked on history and visiting battlefields - we would get the tape players from the National Park Services offices and drive around. He was great about explaining things to me - as a teacher and WWII infantry vet, it fell right into his wheelhouse. We visited Antietam several times on the drives between Michigan and Williamsburg - Hagerstown was often a last stop on the way down or a first stop on the way home. Mother Grundoon and I had planning a spring 2020 trip that included a stop in the area - she wasn't as big a battlefield fan but she was willing to indulge me for sentiment's sake. 7 Link to comment

I am an infrequent visitor to the Table for 3 so I don't want to push myself forward - but, I would like to play Clue. I am not sure what kind of food goes with that - maybe some "mystery" meat sandwiches😄 3 1 Link to comment
