Abbey should have won. Poor wagering in final for her.
VJ, I thought of you when the Carmen Miranda postage stamp popped up lol.
lol, Rhonda, they missed me by 3 weeks!
I hated how the show was so critical of the pronunciation of COSSACKS when Aaron Rodgers pronounced it COSSICKS. They should have approved of Pasquale’s pronunciation. The show is being pedantic again.
Disagree. He said CASSICKS – I thought of cassocks, priest’s dresses.
I agree with Amy — I heard Cassicks. My closed caption showed him saying Kazakhs but I definitely heard the double S sound there.
Here are the Cossacks singing “If we drink we will die, if we don’t drink we will die” in “Taras Bulba”
This reminds me of Seinfeld and the bubble boy episode. Is it Moors or is it Moops?
I happened to recall that Colombia was the second most populous country in South America, which was why I guessed it’s capital as my second city, although I did so with no real confidence. The other ones that came to mind were Santiago and Brasilia, even though I figured the latter would have a much smaller population due to being inland.
Brazil has just a shade under 50% of South America’s entire population, but like New Delhi and Washington D.C., its purpose built capital is a fairly small city compared to others in the country.
I don’t find this tough either, as always, please don’t keep mentioning the same sentence about no one knows about whatever subjects are covered in FJ please. I find that to be very annoying.
As for the triple stumper, I chose Bruenos Aires and Bogota since south america seems to be populated with tourists in addition to the locals. Pasquale’s chances of getting a three game run looks to be slim but at least the toc clock is reset again until we get a 5 time winner.
Which we will get 1 of these days.
Really, Lou, Ismael can post that if he likes to. He only does it when there’s a triple stumper. You talk about a 5x winner just about every day !! and no one complains
Thank you, VJ.
Tough FJ as we got a triple stumper for the second Thursday in a row. Just like before, nobody knows about geography.
Unless your name is David Madden.
