92% is more famous than Jason Alexander and Charlie Justice, and I know "some" who auditioned in NC and would not have burnt a lifeline on it.

Holly Crap! those Tarheels don't pay much attention to the Sandlappers to the South, or the Cavaliers to the North, serves him right.

Ummm, I think VaTech are the Hokies.....whatever they might be. Wintergreen's boys will have a word with you.

I was taking a swipe at the entire State of North Carolina for their arrogance and insularity, otherwise I would have referred to the Bulldogs and Hokies.

Ok. But you are quite cavalier with your swiping.

I believe skoop and the tribegoer are heelers.

Quite right General, but they are certainly not heels, and I would never imply that they were.

Why did they put the word "title" in quotes? It is their official title - they earned their degrees, didn't they?

I don't watch the show, either, but I knew the answer.

I must admit that Ralph's response was funny, but humor isn't really what one should look for in a PAF.

My youngest son, who took a course in the history of rock and roll did NOT know the answer to this question. I was shocked.

Chris said that Bush liked to pick people he knew and so Texas A&M seemed like a good choice. Unfortunately he didn't follow through with that line of reasoning.

No, not at all.

I was also hoping that Chris would make an effort at naming some of the kings of these countries. Even if none of the others came to mind, perhaps he's heard of George III?

No problems to the $25K, which seemed to be a trend for me today. Okay, a bit of an issue at the "braceface" question, till I remembered who C was. ATA at the $25K, and looking (I hope) at $50K with three LL's.

Oh, ear, title is in quotes because they may have earned the degree, but they don't use them in any professional way.

When the question included "18th century" my mind immediately went to George III.

Thanks, transcribers.

25K: Pretty sure its not The Citadel, & pretty sure I know it, but PAF anyway.
