    Chris was doing well for a little bit but that daily double on Greek theater eluded him. At least fast food saved everyone. Although I used to eat filet o fish when I was in grade school. But then I realized that too much fast food isn’t good for you. Wouldn’t you agree VJ?

    • VJ says:

      Lou, when I went to school, you had to eat what they gave you or fast (translation: starve, not fast food). It was a Catholic school. On Fridays, believe me, I chose fasting over egg salad.

      I liked that “Playing Real People” category with Christopher Plummer, Bryan Cranston and Ryan Reynolds. Too bad they didn’t have Armie Hammer and Renee Zellweger for the other 2 clues.
