How did you happen to know so many answers for #1? I was sure of only Hungary, and had a maybe with Sweden. If #10 was the tie-breaker, then I was doubly lucky. The Eagles drawing less attention than the Falcons was simple chance. No special knowledge required. And #10 was probably the only question...

One of the few movies that wasn't for kids that I've seen in a theater in, oh, twenty years is Manchester-by-the-Sea. And it was really good. Almost bleak enough for my tastes.

I believe Sybian and I played to a tie, but I'm credited with a win. Was this the scotch I sent, or alphabetical order, or something else?

Powerful game Sybian. I thought I crushed this one. But you were crushing it more right up to the end. Great answers that had me puzzled.

Don't get me wrong, bars (even if they're not breastaurants) are selling sex. However, there's a line, and that line is harassment. I think "line" is too strong a term for what is a multi-dimensional gray area. Both as to what counts as harassment, which is a cultural as well as legal con...

DC47

Yeah, fuck that bar then. For the record just to flesh out the story, the bar owner was the person who kicked the guy out, banned him from the establishment, and has been in contact with his employer regarding his behavior. Those dudes stick up for their own. I know it's not like that at every bar,...

Sexuality in the workplace is of course a pretty complex domain. That's certainly true in bars. I worked in a place that had an attractive female bar tender who courted a certain amount of sexual harassment because it generated good tips. Big tippers got to go further than others and got more favora...

I thought everyone knew that Hollywood has a book of SAG members who are identical triplets and quadruplets. Up to that level it's easy to deal with look-alikes. However, more than that and it really raises the hourly rates. I have no idea how they handled those multiple Agent Smiths in the last Mat...

Ryan, are we still on with you "losing" my opponent's answers? Or do you want me to send you a substitute answer set for the opponent, with subtly altered erroneous ones, as before? In addition, I could post a set of answers that contain plausible but wrong replies in hopes that last minut...

Tell the kids that Coach K is actually a fictitious character who in his TV show lives in another dimension on a parallel planet to earth that does not have all the good things we have. Like Santa and basic rules of justice. For example, in Coach K's world a college student-athlete can flagrantly tr...

Yes. Who thinks about things like this? I'm confident on two and the rest are either 1-in-3 guesses (a few more) or no idea (most). So I mentioned this to my 19 year old daughter, now home for a college break. Some of you will recall as a participant in SwampCrashes back when she was a far younger t...

I thought I crushed this game, given that it had a question on hockey with no obvious Red Wings answer and one on football with no obvious Lions answer. But instead I got a chance to learn from the master of the obscure. Well done Diamond. Thanks for the fun Ryan.

DC47

I was doing pretty good. Til hockey. Gretzky not being a correct answer on a question related to scoring is astonishing. A reverse Jordan? I took the cowardly way out with Lemieux only because I thought the even more cowardly certain answer of Gretzky might be crowded with equally clueless non-hock...

We celebrate the hell out of christmas, despite not being christians. We have a live tree -- but it's a 30 year-old hibiscus that stands five feet tall in a large pot. It's wrapped in christmas lights (year-round) that comment ironically on our family name, and a boatload of kid's ornaments. We also...

And some of you doubted our strategery. The old let the wargs nibble at you until you almost die of exposure and a random stranger finds and rescues you at the last minute gambit. Works every time. Substitute "Packers" for "wargs" and "Stafford" for "random strang...

I thought MUPPET BABIES was in all caps because it was a made up show. I toyed with Tittle, as I thought it was a strong answer for '50s QB. I'm astonished anyone else considered this. But lingered on Layne, though I knew he was injured in the Lions title season. But he was God of the Lions. Didn't ...

So true. This means my cardio workouts aren't really going to pay-off in the long term. Hope it's a short highway. Or someone will teach me how to get those ebook things.

Either Obama is himself a Kremlin agent, is disregarding his Presidential duties in a cowardly fashion, or there's reason to doubt that this CIA leak tells the whole story.

I presume you leaned him out at the tape?

DC47

Yeah, as the game unfolded, I did fear I might cost you. You reasoned correctly I would go with the familiar in Snake Stabler, but I crossed you up by not going Maury Wills (my early youth Dodger fandom). I'll try to do better to stay out of your way. It is so rare that this kind of thought process...

Great game, DC. The wife just brought home Mint Milanos to remind me she said everyone will say mint. She's a lovely person. Lovely doesn't mean completely lacking cruelty, of course. But I agreed with her. The problem was that's the only one I knew. Sometimes I read through these results and track...

Second of B2B, both road games, at altitude, Utah. First 12 minutes, Dubs 35 Jazz 17. This team is stupid. They remind me of the best Celtics teams of Bill Russell's era. Circa '65.

Not sure why it took them 100 years to finally have best record determine home-field for World Series? Yes. I thought 'most wins' was universally understood across sports as a good way to avoid having the top teams mail it in during the final weeks. Not to mention, rewarding merit. Of course, leagu...
