Absolutely pathetic. When the best game for more cerebral players in a five week month is a Friday game, it's idiotic.

I am interested in "going green". I assume that will be about Ireland and Saint Patrick.

Or LILJOL whenever the eternally-damnable junior university scores a big win over one of his favoured teams

"When the Boston Red Sox ended their World Series drought in 2004, which Buzztime player turned greenest?"

(TIEFLY would be answer #5)

Wouldn't ELPUKO be a greener choice?

I'm much less familiar with ELPUKO's tastes than I am with ILLJOL's. Well, the non-capric ones, anyway

I do confess that it is only my personal bias that means I won't be playing the oceans and seas game. Can never keep the buggers straight myself.

Sure Akbar if powerful women were likely to be about Hypatia, Agrippina, Victoria, Catherine the Great, even Margaret Thatcher and Benazir Bhutto,you would be right. But that game has going to be frustrating written all over it. if there are fewer than five questions on Oprah Winfrey and Madonna I would be surprised. Probably Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga too. The chances are if we get a Margaret Thatcher question it will be who played her in the movie.

As far as newspapers go, there hasn't been one worthy of the name since the fascist Aussie fucker corrupted the London Times with his presence.

I wonder how many people will play tonight's Astrology game by peering into their crystal iPhones

Ah sorry - Hunger Games. YA pulp but well done and quite inventive post-apocalyptic scenario. Unfairly associated with truly awful dreck like Twilight due to genre neighborhood.

Here's hoping the game isn't fourteen questions about the movie's cast and "Who's the author" for the fifteenth.

Now it makes sense. A few friends have recommended the novels. One troubling fear: the movie opens the same night as the Topix game. Here's hoping the game isn't fourteen questions about the movie's cast and "Who's the author" for the fifteenth.

i thought the powerful women topix was terrific. granted it was almost all 20th and 21st century women. many of the women were women who achieved their power mostly on their own merit without having been born or married to it. you predicted a game dominated by women entertainers and that did not happen. the only entertainer was lucy and her question was about her being the first person in charge a major studio.

we were tripped up by the avon question, but we we able to figure out the rest even if we bled points ciphering out some of the answers.

i thought the game was good and fair.
