There was a weird glitch in my recording – right when Rhea was announced, it froze for about 20 seconds, and, when it resumed, it was already on one of the players responding to the first or second clue. The bar showed that only about 28 minutes recorded, and that the last part didn’t record. However, got the whole show. So, it’s like a section was excised, and the edges brought together.
In any case, I said the same thing as Rohan about the barefoot philosopher.
I knew the McCormick one, because there’s a statue of him on the Washington and Lee campus, right near the border with VMI, where I went. I don’t know if it’s still a tradition, but, we had one where, when returning from town, one had to “temporarily desecrate” the statue.
Rohan seemed, what’s the word, flippant, maybe, especially with that $5 wager. I thought he was going to take the whole thing.
FJ was simple, no question.
Hmmmm…….I picked the Democratic Republic of The Congo too for FJ, but perhaps I’ll get it straight next time.
This musical instrument clue was a hoot: “These have a tube called the chanter, an air reservoir controlled by arm pressure & an unequaled ability to clear a room”
Meantime, the Waffle House stumper made no sense to me. I didn’t see the image when they showed the clue but I don’t think it would have helped. Very few of the plethora of images they show do.
You’re certainly not alone VJ as I was puzzled with that Waffle House snafu too. Actually, I had no idea of what they were looking for.
