I had elephant. I guess the symbol on this former flag of Laos may have been present in people's heads:

There was also thing about any exposure to Discworld.

Oh right, makes sense.

Really?

Four elephants standing facing outward on a circular thing, yes?

This season has been very feast/famine for me, as I've gotten 6, 0, 2, 5, 1 right answers so far.
― I want to luhbahguh babum gum (Leee), Wednesday, 11 November 2020 18:28 (five years ago)
3 and 2 so far; basically getting 3-4 questions right every day

Ohhhhh, I was 100% thinking of that Laos flag.

Hope you all got Whale, one way or another

not a clue on that one
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 12 November 2020 19:43 (five years ago)
I totally got it due to "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" which means I got 2 questions in 1 day due to teenaged watching of Beavis & Butthead.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:40 (five years ago)
whale was a random guess because the only WHA animal team i could think of was hartford
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:43 (five years ago)
im having an awful season defensively & strength of schedule-wise; last in correct answers against, DE at .636 (aside from a couple of bad seasons i'm usually around .780)... really hope i regress very soon
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:48 (five years ago)
WAIT were they called the Whalers because WHAlers???
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 12 November 2020 21:57 (five years ago)
oh damn that never even occurred to me
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Thursday, 12 November 2020 22:16 (five years ago)
If I'd thought of that I might have gotten the question right
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 12 November 2020 22:19 (five years ago)
if you're not a universal monsters nerd, james whale is memorable for being the subject of the film Gods and Monsters with Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser in one of his last films before he went action hero

G&M is exactly how I got it.

Dare I praise na for reaching the top of our rundle?
― I want to luhbahguh babum gum (Leee), Friday, 13 November 2020 16:46 (five years ago)
i don't really feel like i'm dominating. it's early days yet and i'll likely fall back into the middle of the group before season ends

Part of me wants to comment upon my experience working on the 60s Music ML now that it is over and I have some distance from it but maybe I should just let it pass.
― An Andalusian Do-rag (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 16 November 2020 19:23 (five years ago)
My first 9/6 yesterday!
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:04 (five years ago)
hey i got 9/6 yesterday too. still pretty rare for me.
― na (NA), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:15 (five years ago)
there's always a 9/6 in the banana stand
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:34 (five years ago)
lol
― Indieland Phil and Indieland Don (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 17 November 2020 16:38 (five years ago)
That's the only one I missed.
9(6) yesterday for me! not counting minileagues obv, this is only my third sixpack in 11 seasons (I've had a 9(5) as well). yaaaaaay!
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 19:10 (five years ago)
i lost on a 3/3 vs 7/3 yesterday, annoyedface.emoji
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 19:24 (five years ago)
I was gifted a 3 on the Eswatini question even though I made explicit mention of it in the Djibouti thread.
― I want to luhbahguh babum gum (Leee), Wednesday, 18 November 2020 19:25 (five years ago)
Which was enough to give me a tie instead of a loss.
how many days in a row can I get 5 out of 6 and lose I ask you
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 19 November 2020 14:51 (five years ago)
It's happened to me the last two days!
(Annoyed at myself because I literally typed in Raphael and then erased it and put Donizetti, who isn't even an artist.)

Never delete your first answer and replace it with something less famous is the lesson o keep learning over and over and not remembering somehow
― is right unfortunately (silby), Thursday, 19 November 2020 15:05 (five years ago)
Yup. I think changing the answer is OK if there is actual logic behind it, but not because "this kinda sounds right?"
― jaymc, Thursday, 19 November 2020 15:49 (five years ago)
yeah, i did that with raphael/michaelangelo
― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 19 November 2020 15:49 (five years ago)
raphael is my stock answer for anything involving italian renaissance painting; finally it paid off

― Four Seasons Total Manscaping (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 19 November 2020 18:57 (five years ago)
btw is there some reason those prizes are specific to the newlywed game? idgi
― mookieproof, Friday, 20 November 2020 23:11 (five years ago)
yeah that was terrible. also i voted for The Price Is Right, which is correct.
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 20 November 2020 23:16 (five years ago)
I don't think the prizes themselves are notable. The clue was the phrase "special prizes chosen just for the winners."
I was all set to submit "The Price Is Right," but that phrase kept nagging at me, and "The Newlywed Game" came to mind. It was a guess, but it turned out to be a good one.

Okay, I will spill the beans. It was a lot of work but I really enjoyed helping write the 60s Music recaps.

I said "The Price is Right" but the crucial clue is that it was an all-expenses paid cruise FOR TWO, i.e. the couple. Good question!

Learned League really makes you realize you don't know what other people know. I thought Flannery O'Connor was a gimme but wrestled with mimosa; I got them both but I really wasn't sure about mimosa. And like 90% of people got that right!
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 21 November 2020 03:17 (five years ago)
Yes, defense is a mug’s game. I thought everyone would get the game show except me, hah. Also thought Fatima might be easy but was hoping more people would fall into the Leila trap.

Think people who are really into it maybe have a better idea of what is a “Pavlov” or things like that.
