Brian Day 3 vs Will (LL) and Ben (LLL)

 5/6 

1) doily  0/1   My father-in-law once accidentally ate a doily as he picked it up with the food it was on

2) Gettysburg  1/3   Lucky guess, I thought of a town in PA where a lot of people died 

3) Mole  2/0  science gimme

4) The Jungle Book  1/1  Being-a-kid-at-one-point-in-my-life-and-having-kids-of-my-own gimme

5) Ode  3/2  Obvious in retrospect, but prob would never have thought of it

6) Taxi  2/2  If you don't get his reference, find it on youtube.  It is one of the funniest scenes in tv history

Dave M day 3

Thorsten ended up marking Uncle Tevye as correct yesterday so I got 5/6 and as a result also beat my LL opponent who also got 5. Brian and Debbie, it turns out that Bounty doesn’t have the mounds that provide Mounds with its name, just a regular shaped bar, so I’m prepared to let that one slide!

 

4/6 today which is better than I was expecting.

 

1 : ) Doily. For some reason I assumed this would be difficult and D33’ed it. Probably a bad idea.

2 : ) Gettysburg. I just went with the morbid approach of choosing the most obvious event in PA that could result in the need for a large cemetery. D21

3 : ( Ounce. I knew it wasn’t gram (out by a factor of 10 or so) but mole never came to me. D02

4 : ) Jungle Book. Bit of a gimme? D10

5 : ) Idyll. This was a 50/50 guess with Rustic and I went the right way. D12

6 : ( Maude. Taxi makes a lot more sense than Maude, wish I’d thought of it. D21

1 : ) Tevye - Jewish gimme D1

2 : ) teen spirit - :"with the lights out, it's less dangerous!!!"  D1
