Grundoon59 January 31, 2022 Share January 31, 2022 4/5 with 2A* and 1* - On Monday, I got stuck on Smithson for Smithsonian even though I knew the dates were wrong and I was sure that wasn't where the Columbian exposition was. I love the Field Museum but could not get my brain in gear to answer. The rest of the week kind of fell into place for me somehow. Tuesday was an educated guess since I couldn't think of any other answer. Bangladesh was an Instaget although I am not entirely sure why but I will always remember it because of my 8th grade Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Rutkowski. She always had us discuss current events and one day she came into class saying, now who can tell me about the new country we gained yesterday? Gilbert Stuart popped into my head just because of the portrait and the timing seemed right. I am a child of the 70s - John Denver seemed correct (although I did briefly wonder did Puff the Magic Dragon become a state song?) 3 1 Link to comment

That portrait hung in every one of my grade-school classrooms. I always wondered why he never finished the bottom of it, that always bugged me. But it made me remember Stuart's name! 5/5 +1* and 2A* My friend and I are bringing a big platter of baked Cajun chicken legs. There will be more than five legs per person so dig in!

bybrandy February 3, 2022 Share February 3, 2022 John Denver was a quick one for me but I did spend some time making sure I had not mixed up the Denvers and suggested Gilligan wrote Rocky Mountain High and John went on a three hour tour. I know which is which but I was all... OMG what if I get this wrong?!?!?!? 7 Link to comment

SoMuchTV February 4, 2022 Share February 4, 2022 This is the first time I've noticed people posting their scores before the Friday game has aired in a lot of markets. Does the spoiler policy apply in this thread? Quote Jeopardy! spoilers: Since the show airs at different times in many markets, please avoid posting information about any new episode of the day before 7PM ET / 6PM CT / 5PM MT / 4PM PT. If absolutely necessary, you can spoiler tag it. This allows for posters to watch it in their own local TV markets. Thank you. I guess just knowing whether someone knew FJ isn't really a spoiler but please don't get carried away with details! 9 Link to comment

PBnJay February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 WEEK 21 • Jan. 31, 2022 — TWO asterisk * * 101. Women Who Write. Mimicking her style, a 1912 rejection note read: “Only one look, only one look is enough. Hardly one copy would sell here. Hardly one.” * 102. Historic Geography. This city on the Rhone River that is partly a World Heritage Site was papal property until the French Revolution. 103. Recent TV. The credits on “The Queen’s Gambit” included this man as “special consultant.” * 104. Famous Americans. He was buried in 1969 in one of the World War II uniform jackets named for him. * 105. Behind the Disney Attraction. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror utilizes technology developed by this company founded in 1853. 3 Link to comment

I haven't had a burger since the pandemic started. The best burger in town is in a tiny restaurant, and our county's vacc percentage is not high. Could get to go - but it's a piece of art, and eating it cooled off or re-heated would be tragic. 2 Link to comment
