Learned Lag

Despite his protestations, this is actually the 11th Classical Music question that George has gotten right in a row -- he hasn't missed one since reading The Classical Music Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained from DK. It's still his worst category, though, so you should at least give them a 2 for when he reverts to the mean.

This is our eighth meeting, seven of which have been in even-numbered seasons. George leads the series 3-0-4 before today.

In fairness, we should be having more questions about Dolly Parton.

Mansfield was not decapitated in the crash, but that is a longstanding rumor.

We were probably thinking subconsciously of Roy Kent, who is a footballer on Ted Lasso, which is one of the best shows in the entire world.

"Ramadan" is in the Fables & Reflections collection, along with the superlative "Three Septembers and a January".

Closing out a firmly Meh first week with a couple of firmly Bleah performances. Hope your weekend goes better that our week did.

Ironically, it was several years after his last drink that George moved to Tennessee.

George gave his MoviePass card to Amanda so she could see it. A week later, MoviePass made it so you couldn't see the same movie more than once on the same card. Sorry about that.

Prospero Hall makes the Top Gun Strategy Game, so that kinda links up those questions, except it doesn't. Also, the Top Gun Strategy Game consists of two phases: volleyball and dogfighting. It is awesome.
