Ho-hum, another boring runaway marked by numerous stumpers and errors. Even Chris had a few slipups. “Skip” led them astray, but if you’ve watched the Winter Olympics much, you’d know what sport a skip participates in. First and 3rd DDs were quite easy, and I was surprised Chris missed that third one. Unfortunately I used the wrong prefix for the middle one. And when Matt gave the wrong founding father of Texas, I figured Chris or Lili would swoop right in and name him.
Final was a toughie that I knew only from taking an AARP quiz. Didn’t think 2 would know it. Guessed right on Francie’s tree book.
It was another fabulous game (although not particularly challenging) as Chris lead the game with a whopping runaway. Well, I performed above average in the game, but had absolutely no idea at all regarding the FJ.
