my defense is 25th out of 26 : /
― mookieproof, Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:49 (four years ago) link
I'm 5th in DE, somewhat acceptably middling in UfPA, and currently 24th of 26, in the relegation zone. Bad season for me. (Not that I've ever done better than "middling" in A rundle)

After winning the first six matches in a row, I promptly ran up a 1-3-1 record over the next five. Went from #1 to #9.I'm currently 30 right and 36 wrong with 13 most correct wrong answers. I have common thoughts.

i'm putting up middling correct answers numbers in my d rundle but miserable defense + the highest caa in the rundle = guess who's knocking on E rundle's door :(

I’ve been sinking like a stone this season, but I managed to drink the beer last night for the first time in a while which was nice.

5 of 6 yesterday, which is my best yet! You know which one i missed.

had no idea on the mitford but no worries with irving berlin
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 7 March 2020 23:30 (four years ago) link
I knew Mitfords would play hard. (Honestly, I'm not sure I would've known it if I hadn't recently learned that both of them wrote for my former employer.) Unfortunately, my opponent was British, which I figured gave him an advantage on both that question and the Fleabag one. He drank the beer; I missed Cootie.

I feel like you could write a much harder Irving Berlin question by not mentioning "God Bless America" and "White Christmas." Like if those were replaced with "Puttin' on the Ritz" and "There's No Business Like Show Business," which are still fairly widely known songs but not (I don't think) as closely associated with Berlin.

i should probably already have gotten this, what does "drank the beer" mean?

Just checked my stats, and I hit a 9(6) 9.4% of the time, so about twice per season. Not yet this season, though.
― jaymc, Sunday, 8 March 2020 03:58 (four years ago) link
anybody on this thread got a six yet?

Otm, unfortunately. Stopped participating in that long ago. Seem to recall that a friend of ours started thread about that on LL message board.

Finally got my first 9(6) of the season, although I arguably shouldn't have been credited for "taro" instead of "toro."

Same for me, too.
I find the Commissioner-selected BWAs mostly amusing. What I roll my eyes at is the thread of people bragging about their horribly formed jokes and saying "No love from the Commish??"

thanks! i have taken to letting things percolate A LOT longer than i would've thought i needed to and my subconscious pieces answers together over the day much more effectively than i could have thought. "Gulf of Tonkin" took two hours but popped out when I was brushing my teeth.
