Bliss February 24 Share February 24 2/5 * for cough and a lucky guess. Having been there helped. If the TOC is any indication, I'll be at the zero table next week. Didn't have a sniff for Friday's FJ. 4 Link to comment

30 Helens February 25 Share February 25 2/5, Cough and Gore. That could be either a comedy team or the symptoms of a very unpleasant disease. I’ll bring some chicken noodle soup, heated by a hole in the ozone layer. And while that simmers, I’ll go ahead and stock up on donuts, because I have a feeling I’ll be needing plenty of those in the next few weeks. 6 1 1 Link to comment

It hasn’t stopped since Wednesday! Playing a song you like better, or a song you hate even more, sometimes helps. Try "Winchester Cathedral." Once I got the 1812 Overture stuck in my head: church bells, cannons, and all. For hours, not days, but I had the most awful headache by the time it went away. 2 1 1 Link to comment

Good Queen Jane February 26 Share February 26 I tried all your suggestions but unfortunately now I have earworm which is a mashup of Wyatt Earp and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I'm doomed!😉 8 Link to comment

Grundoon59 February 26 Share February 26 3/5 with one *. Thanks to fellow W&Mer, Thomas Jefferson, Monticello popped into my head as a lucky guess. I also got cough (probably because I stopped on the way home Monday to buy some cough syrup) and Gore. I went with Doc Holliday instead of Wyatt Earp and couldn't wrap my very congested head around Friday's clue enough to form an answer. I have an earworm too @Good Queen Jane but mine is "Pick a little, talk a little" from Music Man - Chaucer, Rabelais, Balzac....... 2 3 2 Link to comment
Prevailing Wind February 26 Share February 26 I've got The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly playing on my mental jukebox. I've been on a Clint Eastwood binge lately, starting with Rawhide. I only WISH it were Edmund Fitzgerald. 2 1 Link to comment

Prevailing Wind February 27 Share February 27 Did you know Johnny Western sued the "Stand By Me" production for unauthorized use of his "Paladin" song? I think Rob Reiner thought the thing was probably in the public domain by then and didn't check. LOL I've been watching Have Gun - Will Travel on PlutoTV and they edited the theme song, Half of it's missing. Actually makes no sense, as it streams without commercials - it's not like they need the extra time for ads. 2 1 Link to comment

theartandsound February 27 Share February 27 WEEK 24 (19 FEB): 1/5, no *. In my (and I'm sure many of us on here's) defense, the wording of the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS category made it really confusing to know what they were asking for. I know "official" is supposed to be the word you hang onto, but man that clue needed reworking. Poor, pathetic week. But hey, this week started with ART HISTORY, and this art historian nailed that shit. In the voice and delightful mannerisms of Sam Buttrey, and in honor of him being in the audience tonight, in terms of the rest of this week (which culminates in my 39th birthday on Friday), "BRING IT!" 2 2 Link to comment

Clanstarling March 2 Author Share March 2 Week 25 – Feb 26 – TOC Week One – Two Asterisks 121. ART HISTORY - The Royal Academy of Arts has this man's "La Fornarina" & in the 1800s the RAA's love of him made some artists retreat to an earlier style (Raphael) 122. MILITARY HISTORY - A prototype of this craft was deployed in August 1955; it made headlines in May 1960 (the U-2) 123. *1950s POLITICS - In 1959 Bob Bartlett & Hiram Fong each won a coin flip to gain this alliterative title (senior senator) 124. WORLD TRAVEL - The name of this service that began Nov. 14, 1994 echoes the Étoile du Nord, which linked Paris, Brussels & Amsterdam from 1927 (Eurostar) 125. *COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD - Fearful of independence in 1975, around 120,000 of this country's people, a third of the population, fled to the Netherlands (Suriname) 4 Link to comment
shapeshifter March 2 Share March 2 Week 25: 0/5 The closest I got was “Something Star” for Thursday. But maybe it's just as well, superstitiously speaking, that I got a zero this week, because last week I got 1/5 for “Coughing,” and I've been coughing all week. Just an annoying, dry cough, but it was weird when I went to enter this week's score and saw “Coughing” for last week. It also snowed here, so I will serve (round) steaming bowls of Trader Joe's Chicken Noodle Soup: 6 1 Link to comment
