Hmm, well I know D is supposesed to be the "joke" answer but both B and D are mammals. And I have no evidence to suggest that D doesn't have a thick coat of hair covering most of his body...

After seeing her use the ATA here, I never expected Julia to get as far as she did.

Are the APs waiting for contestants to go on vacation before giving them The Call, these days?

Ouch!

This was one of those fact I knew I heard before. My first thought was A, then as I considered it, I thought that Lincoln hadn't copied the word for the Emancipation Proclamation from anywhere like this, so D became my second hunch. The 50/50 confirmed that.

My DVR cut off the first of the show. Something was said about a chicken suit but I missed the whole conversation about it.

Julia's hook was that she had done a lot of crazy things for money and was looking forward to her appearance on BAM to make some "easy money". Meredith asked her what the craziest was and Julia said she had dressed up like a chicken and danced out front of a fast food restaurant. She even said she'd been hit on while wearing the suit. FWIW my oldest son did that in his younger days - he worked at a restaurant called Rollo Pollo and did stints in a chicken suit.

That comment about "easy money" made me think, "Cue the ominous organ music."

D: George Stephanopoulos

Wouldn't D be an acceptable answer also? George is a human being, and human beings are mammals.

A: Table Tennis
B: Lacrosse
C: Billiards
D: Croquet

I have no idea how to play this game - when I went to college I was already married and living in a house. But the name gives it away.

Too bad she didn't go with her instinct. She could have used this lifeline later.

The only difference between Julia and me is that I'd have answered this without using the lifeline and gone home with $25K also. I was absolutely convinced it was C.

Cool! A chance to educate Earendel. Maybe you can play at your next party (or if another son gets marrried. )

You have your standard ping-pong table. You put plastic cups filled with beer on the playing surfaces of both sides of the net (maybe 10 on each side). Each player attempts to hit the ping-pong ball into one of the other player's cup. If the ball does go into your cup, then you have to drink the beer from that cup (and it is refilled and placed back on the table.) Obviously, the more you drink, the worse your shot-making ability usually gets.

[Really never played it at my frat house. Quarters, of course! Bunnies, yep! Indians, sure!]

Thanks for the information but I think not, partywise. Being Oklahaoma Baptists by upbringing, elwing's family were complete teetotalers and as for me, my father's alcoholism was reason enough for me never to drink.

There also are variations where the object is to throw the ping-pong ball into cups, and loose balls are free game.

Students don't even need a ping pong table or paddles. Any table with any type of surface (the more uneven the better) is suitable. I've only seen it played without paddles. Students try to bounce the ball into the cups filled with beer.

The image this conjured up caused a spit take here. Hot tea is not something you want to pass through your nose.

I've seen both versions.

It has been forever since college, but I recall that we called the "non-paddle" game . . . Cups.

Neither was played very much. Quarters and "I Nevr" were much more popular. [You want to know about that girl in Econ 101 that you think is cute . . . get her to play "I Never".]

Careful, Appa! That sounds like a MAWG talking.

Here's another YouTube version, with less rap music:

And back when I was in college we didn't play quarters.....Ole George wasn't dead yet.....

So much discussion started by a $500 question!

Hey, Pea, was it three or four years ago when we had that BB get-together after a SyndieBAM taping and you started razzing those students who came to the bar for some beer pong?

Four, I think! Wow - time flies.
