Hey, you got the author right! In a nightmare category for me, I was thrilled to guess something (Evangeline) that was a 19th-century epic poem (albeit American, not British).

I also found out recently (last year) that it's a male singer. And I discussed this exact same topic with two different random people over the last week.

Good; thanks! Trying to cut back on the internets to focus on IRL stuff ... not always succeeding 😅

I mean ... all of those records were set in California 😏

I'm happy for you; but as a cat person, I'm hurt by their choice 😿

FWIW, his Latin pronunciation was correct.

Having been in the trivia sphere for a few years, and auditioning since 2000-01, I know many people who have deservedly been cast and have generally played very well. Then I see other contestants and think ... "Him? Really? You have him a spot? ... OK." (I know how random the selection process is.)

So looking forward to seeing you play again!

Per j-archive: games 1-2 — taped May 1 games 3-7 — taped May 6 games 8-12 — taped May 7 games 13-17 — taped May 8 Props to Scott for his stamina. At the end of day 3, I'd be mental and physical mush. And having 2+ months off to study and prepare more is a contestant's dream. No way he threw it.

All three of y'all played so well!

I'm sorry, but: "Shaftesbury"??? 😏

I've met a few over the last year and have reeeeeeeeally tried to keep my fanboying to a minimum.

My mind was similarly blown when I learned the etymological reasoning behind million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, et al

Piper is forever my all-time favorite companion for this line alone: "Let me know if there's anything I can do to lighten the load ... or, you know, if you need anything proofread." (I've been a copywriter/editor throughout my career, starting with a daily newspaper.)

3 was the first Fallout game I played, and I barely understood companions and questlines, even by the end of it. I happened to have him as my companion at that time (mostly because I enjoyed him saying "too fun!") as well as high enough Intelligence and/or Speech to convince him to do it.

Gus is *firmly* in his BIG POTAT era

Following the line of succession after Caesar🌈 are Augustus (Gus) and Tiberius (Ty). Among their many nicknames that undoubtedly confuse the hell out of them are Mister FluffleupaGus.

I wonder if fluffy orange bois know how well they blend into medium-range wood tones. I haven't tripped over Gus yet, but I know it's inevitable.

I would like to help vigilantly monitor this situation (i.e., view any and all cat pictures that you decide to post)

I swear I don't put random things in their bowls just to take pictures of them

My cat Gus is so in love with me that he taught himself to play fetch, by bringing me his mice and other toys. If I'm not around, he'll pick them up and drop them where he knows I'll find them: in his food bowl, water bowl, litter box ... or a combination thereof. 😑

This is incredibly cool and I'm glad you posted it. I can't help but be amused by the labels: "And next to the shrine are our stables, watch your step ... the millstones of course ... and here's where we keep our skeletons!"

At my screening, the movie ended (in the particular mood that it does), the audience was silent, and a woman said "Goddammit." Everyone cracked up.
