Question 1 & 2 I knew cold, no problems. Can't remember where I heard about the Kennedy's pony, but 2 was just a gimme.

Question 3 I would've jumped. Doesn't seem like a good question for the audience. I typically never know who was born as what. haha

4-6 no problems.

Question 7 -- Having played Super Mario Bros & Guitar Hero pretty avidly over the years, I knew it wasn't either one of those. I have never played Grand Theft Auto nor Halo, so I knew it'd be one of those (Where is Double Dip when you need it?!) I would ATA-- seems like a question right up their alley.


Numbers 8 & 9 I had no issues either. Looking at Question 10 with 1 JTQ left, which, seeing the unrandomized & randomized money trees, I probably would've had to use it seeing as how it is the most difficult question of the stack.

Because drunk college students and darts mix so well?

TPTB found the one person in America who has never heard of beer pong.

I'd bet you that millions have never heard beer pong referred to as "Beirut." I am one of them, despite having played it occasionally for over 30 years. Perhaps it's a regional term.

1. easy

2. easy

3. Even if you've never heard of him, it's pretty easy to figure out that "Bob" is a nickname for "Robert.

4. easy.

5. easy-I'm glad I studied German in high school-3 years of it.

6. An easy geography Q. Key West, Florida is about 90 miles from Havana.

7. here goes my first LL. I think I'll ATA.

8. easy

9. JTQ number one. I have no clue.

Never have either. I would've jumped, but my initial thought was it was some form of Ultimate Frisbee.

"A popular game on college campuses" = drinking game (at least for normal college kids).

How about us college kids who realize you can have a good time without being inebriated?

Who said anything about inebriated? You can socially drink without getting drunk, as well as attend parties with imbibing.

I will admit that it has been many years since I was in college. What do they do at college/frat parties nowadays?

I have a beer pong avatar, and I have never heard of "Beirut".....

Who the hell calls Beer Pong Beirut? Damn Lesbanese lobbyists.

She couldnt narrow down her hometown to anything less than "Long Island"?

She may have worried she'd be classified as a WE/WE

This is a recycled Found It. I have no idea if it was orignally a Found It or not since the idea for it may have come out of chat....

I guess this is an avatar I won't need to use in the post-Snaxx avatar game....

Another WE® <*sigh*>. Meredith mentioned that she had just had her first child, but Jennifer described her daughter as a toddler, so not all that new.

She gets the second-hardest question as her first one. I wouldn't have known this and wouldn't have counted on the audience to know it, so JTQ #1 for me.

Jennifer said she was trying to make some connection; after Meredith revealed the answer she had a "Car Talk dope slap" moment (Robert/Bob).

That seems like an ill-advised slogan - the association of thinking with "BM".

Under the heading of "right answer, wrong reason", I picked "D" because I thought "Beirut" was a game like "Killer" or "Assassin", and ping-pong balls were the weapons of choice. I had no idea that it was the same as beer pong.
