Alison was very strong, but ultimately the champion rose to the occasion. She needed to answer that last clue to stay within half, but he got in first.
Wasn’t sure of the FJ answer, but having grown up in NYC, Broadway seemed right, especially considering the mileage given and the distance to Sleepy Hollow.
Remembered somehow that Lusia Harris was a pioneer in her chosen sport.
Oh VJ, almost forgot—but it’s still time to wish you a healthy and happy birthday. Thinking of you on your special day and hoping it was lovely. ❤️
Thanks, Cece, how nice of you to remember.
So sorry, VJ! I don’t know why I was thinking that your birthday is the 21st. Happy Belated Birthday to you! I hope you enjoyed your very special day!
And “Broadway” is it’s own thing, vs “Broadway Street” or the like.
Who mentioned “Hope springs eternal” a few weeks back?
The current champ seems sharp. I was surprised he missed the Sousa DD.
And, VJ, you should hear me belt out “The Lullaby of Broadway”. I can’t sing, but, I sing it with gusto!
Jason, I mentioned “The Essay on Man” and that quote recently when they had another Pope clue. They have now had clues on two of Pope’s most well-known works.
Maybe next season, they’ll have a quote from “The Essay on Criticism” — “A little learning is a dangerous thing” or “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” (the latter more well known as a song).
It’s nice to hear that you sing with gusto. I think everyone can recite poetry and sing. How well is a different matter. One thing I’ve noticed in my lifetime is that little kids can generally sing well naturally. Then if someone comes along and makes a kid self-conscious, they can lose that ability.
About the songs I mentioned, I believe “Boogaloo Down Broadway” and “Funky Broadway” are about Broadway in any big city, as opposed to Broadway in NYC
I was surprised no one got the Laika monument. Laika was the FJ answer in Jan. 2021.
I got that one about the 1870-71 war, too. One of my favorite short stories is about the end of that war from a schoolboy’s pov (by Alphonse Daudet).
