Yeah! I also came up with Apollo for the final question.
I want to see that Beatles clue again. Was it their first gig or first gig specifically at the Cavern Club? Because they had played a number of gigs before they played the CC.
@John, here it is– 1961: WHAT A YEAR! ($800) February: The Beatles are paid 5 pounds (total) for their first show at the Cavern Club in this city
Wow! That $1600 Notorious clue was poorly phrased. I confess I was thinking of a technique to button jackets – not a psychiatric term. Once again, thanks VJ for the splendid job you do bringing us this terrific site. You keep us on our toes!
Good point. I did get that one (and six other stumpers). The clue could have read, “buttoned and double breasted, using this technique.”
Maybe Nicole could do what Brian and Zach did and build up a streak. With 22K for Steve. The toc isn’t in the future for him sadly. Apollo was also seen in the Disney series Hercules.
“Nicole didn’t bet a Louis”. Well done VJ!
Thanks, DC 😁 I also took the opportunity to use “penultimate” (from today’s J!6 clues) on the last DD, although I generally avoid it as a snobby sounding word. lol
I don’t think ‘penultimate’ is that snobby sounding of a word. If you rolled out ‘antepenultimate’, you could rightly be accused of snobbery, I think.
That’s a good one, JP, and one I never heard from my Mom — she had a huge vocabulary and loved to show off. For example, Mom would not say “Don’t you believe me?” She would say: “Do you doubt my veracity?” 🤣🤣🤣
I’d like to sneak in ‘verisimilitude’ and ‘pusillanimous’ into conversation someday.
