 5/6   Good luck to the Daves. 

 Have an easy fast, from food and from trivia; see you October 9

1) Unreliable narrator  0/2  gimme

2) basketball 2/2  no clue until I noticed Chuck Taylor

3) Nero 1/1  inflammatory LOL

4) KRS One 3/3  no chance, everyone I could think of was early.  Was surprised to have heard of both

5) Samoa 2/0  My favorite

6) Narwhal 1/1 Narwhals, narwhals, swimming in the ocean. Narwhals, narwhals, causing a commotion. 

David S Day 25

4/6 when I was confident I had 5. Like Dave M, I’m right on the cusp of relegation, though this is despite this season being tied for my best ever in qpct. 

1. Unreliable narrator :), D12. I assume this will play easy if this was easy for me. 
2. Basketball :), D30. I met Petrovic very shortly before he died in a car crash. 
3. Nero :), D11. Gimmeish. 
4. Boys 2 Men :(, D23. No chance here. 
5. Samosa :(, D01. Ugh, I’d love to say this was a typo, but it wasn’t. I guess I was just craving Indian food. I was all but sure I was right. I do see a small chance this will pay, but it doesn’t deserve to. 
6. Nahrwal :), D22. Gimme, spelling issues aside.

Have a great offseason everyone!

Dave M day 25 v Marcus LLL

4/6 to round off the season. On a knife edge for relegation, should be OK if I win, probably relegated if I lose.

1 : ) Unreliable Narrator. Nothing else seemed to fit. D11

3 : ) Nero. Seems a bit of a gimme for most. D00

4 : ( DMX. This was a long shot. D33

5 : ) Samoas. I bought some this year. D21

Dave M day 24 v Carr LLL

2^nd consecutive day of matchups v Carr. Yesterday he defeated me with a six-pack, maybe today my 4/6 will fare better.

1 : ( Phloem Phylum. I got one of them, but in the wrong place, which is better than I was expecting. D22

2 : ) Factorials. Couldn’t really be anything else. D21

3 : ) Beehive. Couldn’t really be anything else. D12

4 : ) Berkshire Hathaway. Bit of a gimme. D00

5 : ) Yellow. I knew it wasn’t red (Snooker has many reds) so 50/50 between yellow and blue. D11

6 : ( Eisenhower. Picked a random military president. D33

David S Day 24

 Unexpected 6/6. 

1. Xylem, phloem :), D02. I knew both with certainty but had no idea which was which and desperately wanted to avoid another sine cosine disaster. I have always heard them referred to in this order, though, so I hoped for the best. 
2. Factorial :), D23. Lol. Gimme. 
3. Beehive :), D22. Really didn’t expect to get this. I couldn’t think of any other hairstyle that could possibly fit the description (though admittedly I’m not sure I could think of any other hairstyle at all). 
4. Berkshire Hathaway :), D10. Gimme. 
5. Yellow :), D11. Was really unsure here. Happy to get it. 
6. Grant :), D31. I actually thought Hiram was his first name, but in any event I knew it had to be him.

1) Hernandez  3/2  no idea

2) Zaire 2/3  Was having a tough time until I thought of my childhood globe from when this took place, and it popped out immediately. Dave, I agree, no DRC!!!!   

3) Lunchbox 2/2 Gimme.  I loved my metal Superfriends lunchbox.  Yes these were weapons, but switching to plastic lunchboxes was almost as great a travesty as allowing calculators in the classroom.  

4) Sack 0/0   Sorry about Drake May, Seif.

5) Mercator 1/1  Gimme even if I hadn't come across this West Wing clip yesterday

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DsG3hVRgU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

6) NASA 1/1  As Dave, Jessica and I learned at pub trivia last month, NASA was founded under Eisenhower, so it was my top candidate for a 1959 founding.  Once I deciphered what was meant by the "worm" logo I locked it in.

1 : ( Ferrara. The impossible one. Would never have guessed Allende. D33

2 : ) Zaire / DR Congo. Rumble in the Jungle, pretty straightforward. D11

3 : ) Lunch boxes. Once I thought of it, it seemed obvious. D22

 4/6. I started off the season 5-0-0 but have gone 3-11-3 since then and am in the relegation zone. Hoping I can get out!

1. Sanchez :(, D23. I had no idea. 
2. Zaire :), D21. Got it because of the word “rumble.” Separately, I can’t believe Thorsten is accepting DR Congo. Ridiculous!!!
3. Erector set :(, D32. I think I would have needed a lot of guesses to get this. 
4. Sack :), D10. Gimme. I knew that 1982 was the year this became an official statistic, costing Lawrence Taylor any credit for his rookie season. 
5. Mercator :), D01. Gimme. I suspect this will play easy. 
6. NASA :), D12. Probably would have gotten this anyway, but after getting the founding date of NASA wrong in pub trivia a few weeks ago, I was all but certain. But I had never heard of the logo referred to as a “meatball.”

 3/6  I'm smack dab in the middle of the rundle, no real risk of promotion of relegation, very relaxing.  Dave has a shot to climb out of the relegation zone with a victory over me today, I think he has a good shot.    Meanwhile CarrBen12 sits just out of promotion by a tiebreaker.   Almost as exciting as last night's/this morning's US Open men's match!!!

1) Lind  2/2   I thought this was a Greatest Showman gimme, but I've never heard of this woman.  Thinking about it, I must be off by decades.

2) Pinewood 3/0  Got it from Star Wars.  What does he mean "the modern" Star Wars films?   Are there antique Star Wars films?

3) Westphalia 0/3  Obviously no idea.   And I've never heard of the answer

4) Qubit 2/1   gimme, for me at least

5) Good 1/1  Should've been a gimme for me but ESG always annoyed me so I never bothered to learn it

6) Key West 1/2  Was either Key West or a city in Texas, and since i can't name a city further south than Galveston, Key West it is.
