Well, if they hadn't accepted "Milne", I wouldn't have done so well.  For no apparent reason, I could not come up with his first name(s), and I even watched "Christopher Robin" on the flight south!

[Browncoat]

Bad bad week this week!  Only 2/5.

But it's been cold here, too!  Colder, in fact, than it was on my trip!

Week 18: 2/5

[saber5055]

WEEK 18 — TWO asterisks
* 86. 19th Century Notables. When he died in Samoa in 1894 his obituary said, “He loved Samoa better than any other place, except Scotland.”   *
87. 1950s Travel. In March 1958 Hilton opened a hotel in this Western Hemisphere capital but 2 1/2 years later was out of business there.
88. TV Dramas. So that viewers wouldn’t think it was about opera, the “R” in this show’s logo was turned into a gun.
89. American Landmarks. Eyewitness Jose Marti wrote, “Luckless Irishmen, Poles, Italians…run toward the wharves” to see its dedication.
* 90. Famous Doctors. Not an artist himself, he inspired the Surrealists but thought them “absolute cranks” until he met Dali in London in 1938.

Would you recommend that movie? I think I heard it was good.

They are only easy if you know them ... and you did. So: Good For You! (We haven't had a drink here in a long time.)

[DXD526]

2/5 this week, with Wednesday and Thursday being instagets. I liked how the champ wrote The Statue of Liberty??? on Thursday, with the ?s as if to say, can it be that easy???

[biakbiak]

5/5 with two asterisks. I went to a Dali show that mentioned Freud so that was easy. 

[lb60]

Week 18: 4/5, 1*

Makes up for last week's pathetic showing, although I'm still hovering around 50% overall.

[helpmerhonda]

Boo hiss.

[Good Queen Jane]

Just wanted to let you know I won't be reporting my scores until January 29. I'm going to Detroit for the US Figure Skating Championship (as a spectator, not participant). Just as well as I'm 0/4 so far this week. Back in competition for the worst score award!

Have fun, enjoy yourself and be careful traveling in this blizzard. Do you have a vested interest in a competitor? If so, do tell. Maybe you'll meet Johnny and Tara! Score sheet will be waiting for your return, no problem.

[GenerationX]

Mon and Wed were hopeless for me, and I flipped a coin on Tue and was wrong.  Fortunately, Thu and Fri were both good, so that's 2/5 with an asterisk.

[SHD]

Week 19: 2/5

[opus]

Week 3/5

Season 43/95

[saber5055]

WEEK 19 — ONE asterisk  
91. Familiar Phrases. Originally a folk term for a chronic rash, this phrase got a new meaning as a title for a 1952 stage comedy & later a movie.
92. Presidential Quotes. He said, “Victory over (the) Depression will be…by the resolution of our people to fight their own battles in their own communities.”
93. People & Places. In 1790 Thursday October Christian became the first child whose birth was recorded on this remote island.
94. Contemporary Art. After it was auctioned in 2018, a work by this artist was renamed “Love Is In The Bin.”
* 95. TV Personalities. In 2000 this man was the host of a No. 1 rated network show & and a No. 2 rated syndicated talk show. *

[biakbiak]

4/5 with one *. Who knew my grandmother’s love of Regis would come in handy. 

[Sharpie66]

Only got 3/5 this week. Blah. My hot streak is ended!

[GrannySmith]

2/5 again this week. 

[j5cochran]

3 of 5 this week, based on my answers while sitting in the studio. And the * for Regis Philbin! (Boy, was it hard not to yell that one out!)

[Toothbrush]

5/5!! 

[Fex]

2/5 this week. No asterisk.

I guessed Jeff Probst last night, but didn't really think it was right. Trying to think back to 2000.... a number one network show with a host? Survivor was all I could come up with. Forgot all about Millionaire!

[peeayebee]

3/5

[M. Darcy]

Bad week - 2/5.

2/5 no * blechh.

[Driad]

3/5 this week.  My third 3 in a row (the previous weeks had asterisks).  Do I get a GFY for that?

4/5 this week, much better than all the 2/5's I've been getting.  I did not come up with Regis Philbin.

A bad week, 1/5. Banksy saved me from a shutout!
