0/3 on DD and missed FJ. I said Stonehenge, after discounting moai. As I say, though, I’m not Jewish – I’m Jew-ish. I’m a goy, so, the Wailing Wall didn’t even enter my thoughts.
Actually, I was only surprised that something from the Temple Mount had survived after all these years.
It was another great game, but I was sorry that Mike lost. Well, perhaps it just wasn’t his day. Anyways, I also went with Mt. Rushmore for FJ.
Mike had an uphill struggle after that first tricky DD. But it was Andrew’s game anyway. He bet conservatively all the way through and it paid off.
I came up with Wailing Wall somehow, partial redemption for missing those darn DDs.
Thought one of them might recognize the Paul Sheldon character. Gandhi’s round Windsors was a gimme. The bluesman and the 11-letter professional both very knowable or guessable. Sort of knew Solomon’s visitor but not sure if they’d accept a one-word name.
I jokingly said Gina Lollobrigida for Solomon’s (Yul Brynner) visitor. 😆
Gina Lollobrigida had a good long life, lived till 95. Only film I’m sure I saw her in was “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell.”
Looking back at FJ, I realized that “tears” was a huge hint that I overlooked. The “stones” is what led me to it.
Gina at one time said that the only time she got biblical with her co-star was when she made that biblical epic with Yul Brynner
