FJ came to me pretty quickly, as I’m sure it did the players. One of those rare nights when I hit the 3 DDs and Final. Decent challengers, but I was disappointed a bit when Alex didn’t know where the Aswan Dam is. Someone should have known the canoe, or taken a guess at the Founding Father. The sheep-owned gambling den wasn’t that impossible. And last I checked, Nissan is not a South Korean company.
I can’t remember the last time I had pumpernickel bread but I’m pretty sure it was a Reuben. (Filed under clues that trigger food cravings)
I was 3/3 on DD and got FJ, too.
Alex seemed rather blasé on his DDs, and just blurted out his responses. Seemed too casual, to me. Maybe a little more considered.
