JJC Points:

DaveSenior got a JJC point for the Bernie Madoff answer (Though he is lucky I've been off work the last week and actually seen some news, or else I'd have been saying WTF?)

Estonut got 2 JJC points for the answer to #13, which I found really funny

Fanny got 2 JJC points, one for her explanation of how she figured out the BNL song, and I forget why I gave her the other one so I'll let her think it was for the taxi dancers reference....

Mini got a JJC point for attempting to stick up for Clem by criticizing my choice of songs for this game....

Clem was able to earn his usual 3 JJC points without any help since I find his Cocotte to be too trashy to beg for points....

starfish got a JJC point just because he added extraneous comments to just about all of his answers, which he ususally doesn't do....

Pea got a rare non-Clem 3 JJC point max for being extra funny, especially the BDM answer...

SC gets 2 JJC points for putting the image in my mind of her singing Big Spender while dressed up as a taxi dancer.....

Melly got 2 JJC points for her McNabb answer to #1. That was a rare gem from someone who rarely tries for humor points!

KT got 2 JJC points, one for overall humor and another for mentioning John Oates porn mustache. One of me and my Dad's ten billion inside jokes is that Hall & Oates were gay because of the way Oates looked....

Melo, TBone & Panic each got a JJC point for their humor efforts as well....
