    @Rhonda, on that YBS clue, some other pages list other meanings for that and one of them is “yucky bunny stuff” huh??? lol

    I also saw “you’ve been schooled” somewhere

    Justin’s answer to the DD in the Show Tune Rhymes wasn’t the only funny one in that category. For the $400 clue

    In “The Music Man” there were “copper bottom tympani in horse platoons… double bell euphoniums & big” these instruments

    Travis answered “spitoon” 🤣🤣

    The song is “76 Trombones”

    I remember hearing country roads take me home on the jukebox at local stores. But still how did Justin not remember about Little Orphan Annie, VJ? I mean that rhyme isn’t that hard to forget. And as for smoky mountains yes my family and I took a trip there one time down in Tennessee but this is west Virginia we are talking about here. But I am glad that the scores have improved today and congrats to travis on his win. If the event of bleeding kansas came to Justin’s mind, he would not have missed FJ, right?
