NFL SWAMPCRASH 2016 - Week 13 (Due Fri 12-2)

[Shirley]

Dammit. First of all, how did The White Shadow not make that list?

Second, I was SURE that cromulent and embiggen would be hugely popular, so I tried to get cute with cowabunga. And nobody said cromulent, even though it's a perfectly cromulent word.

[rass]

Dammit. Rolled it on #10, too, so....

[brian]

Curling was a good answer. Even the US was good in curling would have been almost impossible to have that many medals already.

[degenerasian]

grrrr was going to say Luge, changed to Ping Pong...

[degenerasian]

Curling was a good answer. Even the US was good in curling would have been almost impossible to have that many medals already.

since 1998 so there have been 10 medals.
They are adding mixed curling for 2018.

[rass]

fuckityfuckfuckfuck

[Ryan]

The Lions didn't play twice. Hang on.

ETA: Wlulax played Duff, not Carwash.

[sancarlos]

fuckityfuckfuckfuck

A wonderful expression

[The Sybian]

I protest Small Craft Advisory. That shows up on my weather report every damned day.

[mister d]

Do you heed those warnings and go inside?

[rass]

fuck again

Good game bengal.

[Ryan]

[mister d]

I really bombed out at the end there. I think 3 in a row wrong.

[Shirley]

Dammit. Good game, Giff. I changed from Blount to Lynch on Q10. If I'd stayed, I'd have pulled off the comeback win on the last question. I guess I'm the anti-Seahawks.

[Ryan]

3 teams over .500 in the NFC. Only 8 in the whole league.

[Ryan]

If I'd stayed, I'd have pulled off the comeback win on the last question. I guess I'm the anti-Seahawks.

Actually...

[The Sybian]

Do you heed those warnings and go inside?

Heh. Didn't think "warning" was a categorization separate from advisory. I though all statements were under the warning umbrella. Even worse, I missed "since and including 2010," I thought there had to be way more players with 10 career 1 yard TD runs.

[Pruitt]

Playmakers? Arli$$? You gotta be fucking kidding me. What a garbage list.

I hated Arli$$ so much. How is White Shadow not on that list?

And I figured "Winter Storm" would be the people's choice.

[Rush2112]

Thanks again Ryan, gg D.

Amazed on cromulent.

and AMAZED that The League is on the at list. Not really about sports, and the first few seasons? Good to great. Last few? Meh.

[A_B]

I gotta go back to my old methods.

[bfj]

GG Chedda
How is White Shadow not on that list? Skipped Sports Night because I was sure White Shadow had to be there.

GG for you indeed. I shat the bed. Thanks, Ryan.

Just watched Season 5 of The League, and the first half of the season was horrible. Just tried way too hard to be weird. Ruxin's wife is so ridiculously hot.

As for White Shadow, I'm going to guess there is nobody writing for Bingewatched.com over 40 years old. I've never heard of the show before, and I see it aired from 1978-1981.

[Rush2112]

Ruxin's wife is so ridiculously hot.

Indeed. Though I'm a Katie Aselton fan as well.

[Giff]

Dammit. Good game, Giff. I changed from Blount to Lynch on Q10. If I'd stayed, I'd have pulled off the comeback win on the last question. I guess I'm the anti-Seahawks.

I had no fucking clue on that one, so just went with the guy who scored the most. I was genuinely nervous headed into that last question. Good game, man.

[DC47]

8 for Cabo Verde and 3 for Brazil?

One of the typically astonishing outcomes here.

Cape Verde was on my mind because I was listening to a horace silver album that included one of my favorite songs. Silver's father was from Cape Verde and taught his son the music of his youth. I'm baffled as to how so many others thought of this place, which I thought was an unknown set of sparsely populated islands off Africa.

Had a work study student from there, I think I've used it as an answer twice this season.

[Pruitt]

I chose it because of Cesaria Evora, a fine singer. I would have bet a few escudos that no more than a couple of folks would have chosen Cape Verde.

[DC47]

Lovely singer. I've heard of her but never listened. Would you recommend something?

[Johnny Carwash]

Arli$$ should not be on a list of top 15 shows with dollar signs in the title.

[TT2.0]

Fuck. I actually had answers in my draft box and forgot to send. Sorry.

[A_B]

Fuck. I actually had answers in my draft box and forgot to send. Sorry.

That happened to giff once.

[Pruitt]

Lovely singer. I've heard of her but never listened. Would you recommend something?

I have two of her cds - "Cafe Atlantico" being my favorite, but "Miss Perfumado" is also very beautiful.

Saw her in concert once, and it was nice, but very, very mellow. Her idea of stage movement basically involved lighting cigarettes.

Her obit - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/ ... aria-evora

[Jerloma]

Fuck. I actually had answers in my draft box and forgot to send. Sorry.

That happened to giff once.

Is he okay?

[Gunpowder]

I was going to say "Playmakers" but it was on so briefly I didn't know if it would have made the list. Damn.

Same.

I also thought Arli$$ was considered too shitty to have been on a list but I guess there aren't many options.
