I was going to send you as a question #4 almost verbatim.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.
Re: Swampcrash 2020 - Week Four
Some of these questions seem a little too narrowly focused. What is the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Re: Swampcrash 2020 - Week Four
Can we at least get an explanation of what a "mother sauce" is? That might give me a shot at guessing the opinion of a single person I've never heard of.

Just to be sure, #4 DOES NOT include the X-Men, Spider Man, and Fantastic Four franchises, right?

Re: Swampcrash 2020 - Week Four
No to the X-Men and Fantastic Four
Yes to the 2 recent live action Spiders-Man
No to the recent animated Spider-Man

Is it out of line to say you can look up the MCU but not the actors? Maybe those 2 things are impossible to separate on a search?

I mean they're some of the most popular movies of all-time so of all the things I don't mind giving hints on, this would not be anywhere near the top.

Re: Swampcrash 2020 - Week Four
So, no explanation of the term "mother sauce" then? Is that actually an industry term that I've somehow never heard of? Or is it something made up by the person who made the list?

Re: Swampcrash 2020 - Week Four
I think it's one of the fundamental sauces in cooking that most (all?) other sauces can trace back to or be a variation of. I'll also allow a hint that the guy's name doesn't sound, like, Hawaiian or Russian or Ecuadorian or anything.

I'll chime here. Yes. There is an accepted list within the culinary world. However it's not likely going to be knowledge you pick up from The Pioneer Woman or Super Southern Easy Mealz on Wheelz

Re: Swampcrash 2020 - Week Four
I'm struggling in that the things I think of as the most common sauces are ones I'm sure some fancy French asshole would never use.

One thing about having the kid around while I consider Swampcrash answers. She alternates between insisting on answers I should give, and mocking the ones I actually submit.

With so many people taking the Crash so seriously, this first time player really wishes he had asked what the prize was before signing up.
