She mentioned the boardwalk during her processing of the answers but didn't think the boards would be replaced.

It took a while but "dead AND alive" finally dawned on her.

Laura said this was a myth because she's tried it and it didn't work for her.

I sure hope the audience knows this because I'm asking them. None of my potential +1s would know it.

Laura considered C but her +1 told her that John Paul II was Pope then. They couldn't figure it out. The Serbian conflict was during the Clinton administration, and Britain was involved (Chirac, the French prime minister, not so much, so that would have been my choice.

DISH was having a dispute with our local CBS affiliate that lasted a few months, so when the new season started and we still weren't getting any of the shows, I called up and threatened to switch to cable. They knocked $30 a month off my bill for 12 months. Shortly thereafter the dispute was resolved. We'll see if they continue to honor their committment.

I did not get to see this show because of mysterious stuff that screws up my converter box. Thanks, transcribers.

4. I would have guessed transgendered is among the banned groups, but I would not have guessed. JTQ

8. My +1 knows, I hope. Well, I knew its not Edie Falco because I've heard her interviewed about her upbringing.

9. Only one imaginary country up there. Otherwise, 2 countries & 1 city.

10. ATA, but they're not gonna know. I walk here.
