Brian Day 14 vs Dave M

 I discovered yesterday when looking at the standings that Ben Carr was not participating in his namesake Longevity League.  Then I happened to go to pub trivia with him last night for the first time this year, so I asked him about it.  His response: "There's a Carr Longevity League??????"

I will post now instead of tomorrow an encouragement to play this weekend's Mid-season Classic.  It'll give you something to do instead of spend time with your family.  Diane, it's structured as a Learned League one-day quiz, 12 questions, and you 'money' the five questions you think the least people will get correct for extra points if you get them correct.  There's no head-to-head, it's not part of the regular season, just a change of pace.

3/6 today vs Dave, and Mirkin takes it 4(4)-2(3)

1) Tennis 1/2  Wasn't sure if it was tennis, golf or bowling, now I know why I wasn't sure.  Don't know why I thought it would be limited to one sport like it was Intellivision.

2) Richard Neer 3/3  Went with a New York rock station DJ

3) Dew point 0/1 gimme for me and my scientist opponent

4) xylophone 2/2 And I was so excited when I hit the connection between zills and the phonetic pronunciation of xylophone

5) Cincinnati    2/1  Went alphabetically through major cities in the east so it didn't take me long until i got to the one that clicked

6) blockbuster  1/0  gimme of the day
