Seif Day 1 vs. Steiny (LLL)

Great to be back! I somehow got a battlefield (i.e., undeserved) promotion to B, and I see I'm dead last in my Rundle in lifetime qpct. Should be a blast...

Solid 5/6 today. These questions were made for me. 

1. St. Elmo :), D11. I only know this from the song. 

2. Buffalo Bills :), D30. Gimme for me. 

3. Stone, bronze, iron :), D22. Thrilled to get this. I wasn't sure these were the three ages, but I was pretty sure. Spent some time deciding between the last two, but I had to go in this order because iron has a much higher melting point than copper and tin (for bronze), so I figured it would have taken longer for people to figure out how to work with it. 

4. The Dick Van Dyke Show :), D21. Random that I know this. I grew up in the house that the producers of the show lived in when they started the show (before, presumably, they became wealthy). As a result I watched a few episodes and know a bit about it. 

5. Singapore :), D02. Hard to think of a question that is more up my alley. It combines history, geography, and economics. I wish the question had asked for all 4!

6. Du Bois :(, D13. Was hoping for a possible 9(6) when I got to this question and realized I had no idea. 

Who's excited for tomorrow?

Please note that registration closes on Wednesday evening November 7!!!

LLL 79

Gideon Day 25 vs Seif LL78

5/6 today
I’m on the cusp of relegation. If I win today, I’m safe. 
Fun season of LLL! It makes me less stressed than LL. 
Hey, my answer for D3Q3 “Rugby Tender, Rugby True” is eligible for VBWA! 

1 :) D3/3 Nigella - I’ve been baking sourdough bread with Nigella seeds for the past 4 years, after discovering them in Syrian string cheese. They taste like caraway, but even more intense. 
2 :) D1/1 Taiwan - I remembered the 101
3 :) D1/2 Network - “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”
4 :) D2/1 Pearl - I’ve knit half a scarf and two hats. 
5 :) D0/0 SALT
6 :( D2/2 Equal to the remaining points.

Brian Day 25 vs Jesse

3/6 to close out the season.  Two of those three have effectively been asked before.  Looking forward to the dailies, and I'm doing two of the mini-leagues. See you there.

1)Emeril.  I figured it was one of the two women whose name I didn't know, and I was right.  1/1

2)Taiwan.  Variation on an old question 0/0

3)Network.   To pump up the crowd at dearly departed Shea Stadium​, they used to play a clip from Network of the news anchor having an on-air meltdown. Now they bring players off the DL so they can retire in order to pump up the crowd.  2/2

4)Crossover. no chance. 3/3

5)SALT.  another oldie but goodie question 1/1

6)triple.  close but not cigar. 2/2
