Kim Day 23
2/6
Vs. Ben LLL
1 :( Abbott, Costello. I didn't think the singing part fit but hoped I just didn't know about it. D12
2 :( Nassau. I couldn't figure out what part of the world to focus on. I am embarrassed that Ben had more faith in wanting my MTV than my geography and I proved him right. D20
3 :) A raisin in the sun. I know the poem as well. D11
4 :( Risk. I would have never gotten this based on the "apart from". D21
5 :) The Real World. D02
6 :( Rodarte. I meant Rodin. And apparently wrote an American Fashion house. And Ben wrote the answer. Game over. D33

Seif Day 23 vs. Pelc (LLL)
Happy New Year to all who are celebrating. I've unfortunately come down with pneumonia and will need a few days to recover, so I'll keep this briefer than normal and, unless I'm feeling better, may not post again this season. 3/6.
1. Abbot and Costello :(, D11. No clue.
2. Jakarta :), D22. Gimme.
3. Raisin in the Sun :), D22. I read this in 8th grade and remember it well. Plus during NFL week 3 they were running adds with the poem, so it was fresh in my mind.
4. Agricola :(, D11. Oops. Kind of an embarrassing miss.
5. Real World :), D00. Even I knew this one.
6. Rodin :(, D33. If I'd made the connection from opera to ballet, I'd have gotten this. But I didn't.
Rosh Haday23 vs Brad
3/6
1) Lewis, Martin. Was between them and Laurel and Hardy. Didn't realize they were done that quickly and not into the 60s, but I couldn't picture Laurel and Hardy singing. 2/1
2) Jakarta. I love questions where I have absolutely no idea, but know only one fact about the subject and have to submit that as an answer. Of the countries whose capitals could be the answer here, Jakarta was the only one I knew. 0/1
3) Denied. In retrospect I should have had this. I guess a dream deferred is not denied, rather it dries up. I think I'll regret my defense. 2/2
4) Come Sail Away. I assumed this was some weird board game. I should have paid more attention to Crazy Rich Asians. 3/2
5) The Real World. I hated The Real World, never watched it, but everyone knew who that annoying Puck was. 1/0
6) Eiffel. No chance. 1/3

3/6
1 : ( Guessed Laurel and Hardy. D13
2 : ) Geography Gimme. D20
3 : ( Had no idea, guessed Withering on the Vine, which is at least closer concept-wise and fruit-wise than I was expecting. D22
4 : ) I don’t know how to play it but Mahjong sets seem to have lots of pieces. D11
5 : ) I vaguely remember The Real World and one other similar reality show on MTV – Road Rules or something? The Real World seemed like it would fit. D01
6 : ( Late 19th Century French Artist = Monet for most of my guesses. D32
