Spoiler Talk: CotD (Fri)
Here is the NY Times Clue of the Day for Friday’s game. If you know it (or even if you don’t), you can make a prediction on how many players will get it right and/or leave a hint on the right answer BEFORE the Early Spoiler results are put up, usually by 1:30 p.m. Eastern. (And, yes, we are all aware that the results are sometimes put up earlier elsewhere, but we play fair here).
Take Your Lumps: No late predictions. No changing predictions. No exceptions.
But if you don’t want to read comments about the answer to the clue, READ NO FURTHER. If you do want to talk about it, then click on the link below to see the clue, and fire away! (Check the comments around 7 a.m. Central if Jeopardy.com is not up to date)

FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. We just hint at it. However, it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
Alert: The first 8 words of our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with a short observation is the best way to go.
All comments and predictions on the CotD posts are deleted after about a week, so be fearless!

Despite seeing the Mel Brooks classic, I still had no idea. 2/3 correct responses.
I read the novel about ten years ago, and that’s the only reason I got it today. Never seen a film adaptation, excepting the Gene Wilder spoof. I’ll say 1/3.
I’ve seen the hilarious Gene Wilder spoof too, but the “Smoke good!” line I was referencing is from the 1935 Boris Karloff film. It seems pretty hard to believe now, but my brother and I used to watch all those old horror films when we were very young. In my memory, going by where we lived, I was 5 and he was 6. The Wolfman gave me nightmares.
I’m gonna say ONE today. You can count me as one of those who’ve seen the movie (Smoke good!) but never read the novel.
Strangely enough, “The Child”, an episode of The Restless Gun was on my TV this morning, with Dan Blocker playing a gentle giant role that might remind someone of that movie.
