3/5.  Curse you, Idaho!  🙂

[lb60]

Week 37: 1 for 5.

Curse you, everything except Virginia.

I've been remarkably consistent these past few weeks. Consistently bad, but consistent!

I don’t think there were.  I hope she’s enjoying the holiday weekend.

4/5

[GrannySmith]

Week  35:  2/5; Week 36:  1/5;  Week 37:  1/5.  Not so hot, but if they ask any FJ questions about Ferdinand and Isabella, I’m golden.

[illdoc]

No * this week (since I got 4/5, I'd have noted when I got a * (Virginia, my missed, was not a *).

WEEK 37 — NO asterisk
179. Name The French Author. “I am making myself liable to articles 30 & 31 of the law of 29 July 1881 regarding the press, which make libel a punishable offense.”
180. Poetry & The Movies. Robert Lowell’s “For the Union Dead” honored the 54th Massachusetts, the infantry unit in this 1989 film that won 3 Oscars.
181. 19th Century American History. In 1832, by a narrow margin, this state’s legislature rejected considering abolition; a split was completed in 1863.
182. Jazz Classics. In one account, this song began as directions written out for composer Billy Strayhorn to Duke Ellington’s home in Harlem.
183. Around The USA. Astronomy buffs visit Idaho for the USA’s first dark sky reserve; oddly, part of it is this resort area with a bright name.

2/5

Too US-centric me this week - which I guess is fair for an American show. For the jazz one, I immediately started thinking 'Don't Get Around Much Any More' and couldn't move on from that.

[Good Queen Jane]

4/5. I knew Dreyfuss, J'accuse, everything but Zola. Boo hiss.

[Browncoat]

4/5 for this week.

186. 19th Century Novels. The author of this tale dedicated the novel to British philosopher William Godwin, her father.

Sometimes that's me too. Since we've been doing this contest I have found out that I'm not as smart as I thought I was.  Very humbling.

Those Newmans prevented me from getting a perfect week. I never knew Randy was from a famous family.

Are we still officially doing this? I haven’t gotten the ‘your score has been tallied’ heart from saber in a couple of weeks.

If so , 1/5

If not, I can switch over to lying. I STILL HAVEN’T MISSED ONCE THIS SEASON.
