The state where I live has that many consonants, as do several two-word states. The state whose capital is Concord has even more consonants.

I should know this from the Bored, but I would have said Lions and gone down in flames.

JTQ 2, or Plus One, or whatever I gotta do. My alma mater's mascot is a Skyhawk, making two of us in the country, IIRC.

Q5: Not on my radar, pun intended, at all. Who did she offend? Joan Rivers? Criticizing the 1st Lady's casual wear in a non-public appearance is the epitome of snark (why I dragged the then-alive Ms. R. into it). ATA


Q8 is a guess as in "I don't know this for a fact", but a pretty reasonable guess given the clue.

Q9. JTQ

"Which of the following can you not do at the age of 21?"

What the wording of #4 would have been before this show turned into crap.

I'm disappointed you didn't think of me. I hate losing out to Joan Rivers....

I gotta say that's a pretty cool hook.

Answer

B: Eagles

Funny, I can think of only team in the big conferences that uses "Eagles" as its nickname - Boston College (I'm not including Auburn's "War Eagles"). Since I don't have the JTQ and I don't think the audience would know (nor would any "Plus 1" that I would consider bringing), I'd have to walk away.
