lb60 May 25, 2019 Share May 25, 2019 Week 37: 1 for 5. Curse you, everything except Virginia. I've been remarkably consistent these past few weeks. Consistently bad, but consistent! 3 Link to comment

GrannySmith May 27, 2019 Share May 27, 2019 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. Link to comment

saber5055 May 27, 2019 Author Share May 27, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment
Fex May 28, 2019 Share May 28, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment

saber5055 June 3, 2019 Author Share June 3, 2019 WEEK 38 — NO asterisk 184. Games.

This cartoon character was based on a character in the educational comic “The Intertidal Zone.” 186. 19th Century Novels.
