saber5055 January 12, 2019 Author Share January 12, 2019 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. Link to comment

Good Queen Jane January 18, 2019 Share January 18, 2019 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! 2 Link to comment

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. Link to comment
GenerationX January 19, 2019 Share January 19, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment
saber5055 January 19, 2019 Author Share January 19, 2019 (edited) 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. * Edited January 19, 2019 by saber5055 Link to comment

Fex January 19, 2019 Share January 19, 2019 2/5 this week. No asterisk. I guessed Jeff Probst last night, but didn't really think it was right.
