The Swamp

Come on, Marisa Tomei had to be the lead actress in My Cousin Vinny!!! I was 100% confident on that answer, and had to see the damned Spider Man movies for my son's birthday parties. Thought I got a Karmic payout for that.

I'm not sure I've underthought a question where I could have known all of the answers more than I did #5. Tremendously bad effort by me. If not for my own question and a Bree Larson complete guess, I could have gone 0-for the first half.

OOh. Name is Brie. That shouldn't count.

She was the lead actress in the movie, but it was a supporting role. (It's all stupid stuff about how the studios decide how to nominate people, to be honest.)

The list of people who didn't get in the RRHOF on the first try is pretty comical. No safe guesses there at all once you get past the old-timers (most of whom didn't sell massive amounts of records)

Second half coming up shortly.

Wrong formula in the Sancarlos-LJam game - actual score is

SC - 25
LJ - 22

I thought Floyd was a lay-up. Isn't Dark Side the biggest selling album of all time?

Like with Hollandaise (bernaise), you use the most basic sauce (tomato) to make more complex sauces (marinara).

Tom Petty for 9 points

I won because of my asshole question.

Ughhhh...

Stafford beats Mahomes in the game of the month!

San Carlos with the Scheduling Bad Beat of the Week!

Gunpowder overcoming a 17-point halftime deficit to win by 1 is exciting too.

I was sure that my Grover Cleveland Alexander answer was going to be a one pointer. Instead, it cost me the game.

He did that to me last week. Not quite as big a half time deficit, but it was up there.
