Terrific, competitive game tonight. The stumpers were kind of tough, except maybe what DuPont invented and the one about the last rites. A little deductive logic (where the Mafia originated, and its capital) led me to the Final answer.
Margaret is pretty delightful. She just might win her away into the ToC. Can’t know how old she is, but it’s always nice to see an apparent fellow senior win a few games.
As I analyzed before Final, I would have bet money that Louis and Margaret would get it right, while Ryan got it wrong, and she would underbet. Well, kudos to her for finally doing it right!
The irony is that Ryan looks like Fredo from ‘The Godfather’ and he missed the Final. The only reason I knew ‘Palermo’ is that I watched ‘The Godfather’ movies.
“In 2021 Gary Avis danced Virgil in a royal opera house production commemorating the 100th anniversary of this poet’s death”… are you saying that Dante died in 1921?
nah, it’s supposed to be 700th
Ah good, they fixed it.
Well another strong crew tonight but still I thought Ryan had this game in the bag. Darn. Congrats to marge on a good comeback today. She doesn’t seem to be as nervous as she was yesterday. But I like her politeness.
Speaking of the Italian mafia l remember back in the early 90s a two part law and order episode called torrents of greed. The story deals with the masucci crime family. They are notorious for racketeering, murder and other charges. Not going to spoil the whole thing but if anyone here is interested in watching that episode feel free to go to Hulu.
Lou, I vaguely remember the Masucci family on Law & Order. If I’m remembering correctly, they were also part of a story on my favorite Law & Order series (CI, with Vincent D’Onofrio). Last year, Law & Order had a new series out called Law & Order: Organized Crime. I should check out an episode or two but I was never a big fan of Eliot Stabler.
Meantime, I was just looking at the Born & Died list for tomorrow. Three real life gangsters were executed at Sing Sing on 3/4/1944, one right after the other: Lou Capone (no relation to Al), Mendy Weiss and Lepke Buchalter.
