The place rankings between Stephanie and Michael before final jeopardy are now reversed.
Yeah, I didn’t write that down because I thought the numbers made it obvious.
2/3 on DD and got FJ. That just popped into my head immediately. I had to laugh when Ken asked, “Do you have the Winklevii?” I didn’t see the movie, so it was new to me, VJ!
Stephanie was statuesque. The only thing that bugged me was that $1500 DD wager. Those $500 ones just bug me.
I was about 50% on TS.
I haven’t seen the movie either, Jason. It reminded me of a “Married with Children” episode where Peg Bundy called multiple Elvis impersonators “the Flying Elvii” 🤣
I looked up Winklevii to see where it came from and IMDB trivia for the Social Network movie had the best explanation.
I am quite the IMDB aficionado, but that was a looong trivia list!
Sorry, Jason, the link goes to that specific trivia item on my notebook, but I didn’t realize it doesn’t work on my phone! Anyway, it says “At one point, Mark calls the Winklevoss brothers the “Winklevi”, facetiously using the Latin plural for nouns ending with an s” and adds that Zuckerberg is a Latin scholar.
Wow, what a contest! Two definite 2nd chancers, if that comes back.
FJ made perfect sense once I saw it. My lame answer was the Koches, which I knew would not fly. Only the first DD kept me from being shut out.
I noticed Wednesday that Andrew really dug the Biblical Art category. Thursday night he crossed himself when he won unexpectedly, and tonight he revealed his and his wife’s Catholic faith. Very laid-back guy; I dubbed him the genteel gentile.
Smetana’s river city was there for the taking. I have a very decent vocab, but have never heard the word manumit.
True story: I just reviewed the Dred Scott decision, and his manumission!!
