Brian LL84 Day 1 vs Ben

Welcome back everyone!  First things first, Andy bailed on Learned League this season, so I propose we change the name of our private league to the Levinson Memorial League. 
4/6 today when I thought at first I'd have only two, so I'm happy.

1) Elmer's.  Which is sort of the opposite of the correct answer.  I think this could be difficult, UL is so diversified there'll probably be a wide range of guesses.  2/2

2) Star Chamber.  Wow, I really can't believe this is correct.  The question reminded me of the movie Star Chamber, which was on HBO all the time when I was a kid, and involved a secretive group and their devious plans.  I put the name in as a guess in case this is how the movie got its name.  2/3

3) Dancing with the Stars.  Dear lord Kelly Monaco... sorry what was I saying?   Yes, I first heard of  Kelly Monaco after she won DWTS, and I'm aware Drew Lachey and Hines Ward were on it also, so that clinched it.  3/2

4) Limestone.  Was pretty confident chalk is related to limestone.  1/0

5) Vichy.  No chance here.  But my opponents call soccer 'football'. 0/1

6) O'Hare Airport.  I'm assuming I don't need the word International.  This was very satisfying when I figured it out.  I was stuck on Grand Central for awhile until I realized it wasn't big enough, then German-American took me to Milwaukee, got me to bratwursts, got me to Da Bears skit on SNL, then I remembered the symbol for the airport, which matched Orchard Place.  I think I made this harder than it had to be, as there are only a few transportation hubs in the U.S. that could reasonably be expected to be known for this question, GCT, Dulles, LaGuardia, JFK, LAX and O'Hare. 1/1

Despite Ben screwing with my defense , I eke out a 4(4)-3(3) win.
