I thought the Battle of the Danish land TS was quite ironic for me, for two related reasons 2. I got it wrong today and, 1. Yesterday, that was my (incorrect) FJ response! I said it yesterday and was wrong, and didn’t recall it today!
Those two sharp ladies sure left poor Ariel (and me) eating their dust. At least it wasn’t a runaway.
In my defense, I did get the Danish land, the Finlandia composer, and the Tarantino film.
As an Oregonian, I was fairly sure the Final answer was tsunami.
Amy beat a guy capable of multiple wins, and she herself looks like a possible long-termer.
Like the best players, she wagers big and is very confident. I thinks she’s much better than the last 3 ladies who won 4X.
After the Gallipoli clue, I watched a video summary of WWI on YouTube, where I learned about the Battle of the Danish land, which happened to appear in a clue today.
I liked Simi’s dinosaur outfit, I bet she’s a fun teacher.
Hard to believe, but I actually muted the sound on the Jarmels “A Little Bit of Soap” so I could watch the Liberace YouTube I linked to for that Khachaturian triple stumper. Amazing!
Also, hard to believe — when we went out earlier, a lot of people’s fences were blown down all up and down the avenue from a storm that blew through here last night.
The Khachaturian clue was straightforward for me, as a local hockey team is closely associated with it. However, Ken’s mangling of the ballet name was dissonant to my ears!
