Season 38 Final Jeopardy! Contest

[Prevailing Wind]

I guess I should bring pretzel sticks, since my score is 1/5.

2/5

[Mindthinkr]

0/5 My brain went on vacation this week without telling me first. I’ll bring an apple pie. 
 

[Clanstarling]

3/5 - a good week for me for FJ, but not so much the regular games.

I said "Stonewall" too - I think it's an iconic enough name without "inn."  Iconic enough to be the title of a movie, anyway. Stonewall (I don't know if it was a good film, I just happen to remember the name of it. It never came to our small town.)

Week 29:  4/5

In honor of Satchel Paige and Opening Day for MLB this coming week, I'll bring hot dogs, peanuts and CrackerJack. ⚾

LOL. I was just thrilled I got a sports FJ correct. Haven't been to a game, but if I recall correctly, beer is something that goes along with it. Guess I'll bring that.

(Well, actually, I lied - have been unwillingly mashed into the seats at a minor league game, one of the most miserable nights of my life)

I love minor league baseball!  Taking to small talk.

[DXD526]

3/5. 

As far as I'm concerned, there is no 'Inn' in the title, it's just 'the Stonewall'.

Week 29:  4/5   Overall:  72/145   9*     I'll bring Kiwi, due to my missed Fri FJ of New Zealand.

Week twenty-nine: one of five. Stonewall is the only thing my poor, benighted brain could come up with. On Friday, I knew it was some country down near Australia. I need to get some serious sleep this weekend!

[M. Darcy]

3/5

[Good Queen Jane]

4/5.

I wasn't even in the right part of the world with Friday's answer. The Dutch certainly got around.

[Grundoon59]

4/5 - thought I was on my way to a perfect week when hubris got me and I couldn't pull New Zealand out of my brain for love or money.  Made total sense when I saw the answer and I even had entertained a passing thought that the preferred name seemed similar to aboriginal names in Australia but did I come anywhere near New Zealand - absolutely not!

Couldn't remember for sure that Satchel Paige was a pitcher but he was my best guess.  Recognized the Lady MacBeth quote immediately and was about 97% sure on Josephine Baker.  I don't think I had heard about the Rockette Kick Line before but knew Stonewall Inn was the answer (added Inn just to be sure). 

I am not in a cooking mood this week so picked up some pork pies and sausage rolls from my favorite Scottish bakery and I will now offer them to the tables as a tribute to Lady MacBeth.

Week of March 28th: 4/5.

[helpmerhonda]

3/5

[bybrandy]

2 weeks worth of scores for me.   And if you put them together I did quite well.  1/5 from last week and 4/5 from this one (if we're counting stonewall rather than the stonewall inn... if not 3/5) 

I've heard of Satchel Paige but I didn't know that he was a pitcher or that he was black so...

[Prevailing Wind]

I just breezed over an article about how NYC is advertising its friendliness to LGBTQ on billboards in Florida.  The New Yorker they interviewed said, "We're the city of Stonewall, after all..."  I do believe the judges would have accepted "Stonewall" without the "Inn."

[Ailianna]

1/5. Rough week last week for me. I had emergency surgery yesterday (Monday) to repair a spinal cord fluid leak, but I'm blaming it for this last week's bad showing too. Should be doing much better now, so I'll have to get a few right this week.

[labresq]

Anybody else think "I miss Saber" when the dog category came up?  I did!

Legitimately every single time.  Will Saber ever get out of Primetimer jail?  Or is that no longer the issue?

[Browncoat]

2/5 this week.

Week 30:  3/5  (Monday "Succession", Wednesday "Monaco", Friday "Oliver Twist")

Sorry not to lower the curve for the week, but I'm sure my average is still in the basement.
I serve up to everyone virtual 3-colored Neapolitan ice cream:

 

[Toothbrush]

4/5 (missed Velcro on Thursday)

I miss @saber5055 too!

 

 

[Mindthinkr]

3/5 (Life, Monaco, and Oliver Twist)  

As I ran the bean category tonight in honor of that I’ll bring a 3 Bean salad to the table. Actually I’ll have to bring two of them. I don’t know that y’all would eat as much raw garlic as I put in mine. 

[ams1001]

4/5 with one *
(Got all but Succession on Monday.)

Week 30:  3/5

I'll bring some Fava beans and a nice Chianti. 😉

WEEK 30 • Apr. 4, 2022 — ONE asterisk *  
146. Current Television. Fittingly, the last name of the family at the center of this drama is from French for “king.”
147. Classic Games. Reuben Klamer, who passed away in 2021 at age 99, developed this game relatable to “literally everyone on Earth.”
148. Small Countries. French, Italian & Swiss nationals make up about half of its population of 38,000.
* 149. Inventions. Patented in 1955, it did not go over well in the high-end fashion world but the then-new aerospace industry found it very useful. *
150. 19th Century Literature. The Strand Union Workhouse, whose rules prohibited second helpings of food, inspired a setting in this 1838 novel.

Week thirty: three of five, without the asterisk. I've never seen or even heard much about Succession, so that was right out. And I couldn't think of an invention intended for high fashion that ended up at NASA. My guess was Kevlar!

With so many folks bringing varieties of beans, I guess I'd better make some cast iron cornbread. But the big question is, do you want the sweet version or the not-so-sweet version?

[Prevailing Wind]

4/5, 1*.

I'll bring the Beano and Gas-X.

[Grundoon59]

3/5 with no *.  Succession and Game of Life were lucky guesses.  Musical Theater was what mostly got me to Oliver Twist although I also did go through a reading like the Dickens phase at one time (sorry - couldn't resist). 

[theartandsound]

Week of April 4th: 5/5, one *.

What happened to @saber5055? I hope they are okay.

[bybrandy]

3/5 1*.   People keep telling me to watch succession... and if I had... I'd have 4/5.   LOL.   

 

 

[labresq]

If we can count a Wednesday through the next Tuesday, I would have 5 of 5!  However, so far this week I only have Monday and Tuesday, so oh, well.
