Best typo I’ve seen in ages.
Thank you. Is there an emoji for slapping your own forehead.
That should be “9 million people.” Of course the original statement is also true.
I can easily imagine all of that.
Jake’s spasticity was starting to get on my nerves. But then I just reminded myself, “At least he’s not Yogesh,” and that made him a little more palatable. I had him pegged to fall soon, and I was right.
Did anyone else answer “Aaron Burr” today as if they had a mouthful of peanut butter sandwich?
YES. Giggling ensued.
Thank you! I was afraid nobody was going to understand.
Any guesses as to why a Pygmalion character would need to wear a harness?
I thought the answer today was a gimme, and was shocked when only one player got it right. But maybe the players today were too young to remember Peter Pan.
I found that a little odd too–that two of the three couldn’t get it.
It’s still performed today, often by community theatre and high school drama groups, so it’s not one of those shows that has a decent run, but never sees a revival.
My guess is that he didn’t have any idea, so he put down the first random thing he thought of close to the year.
I blame CGI and Marvel movies; what’s a flying harness? JK, but I was surprised that the correct play (which I picked) was from that early. I always thought Mary Martin originated the role, but that was the Broadway musical in the 1950s.
I was amused (and pleased) that
the winner was the 20-year old, beating the history professionals.
My only hesitation about Peter Pan was wondering if it was as old as 1904.
I was head of the crew that flew the actors for a production Peter Pan at my wife’s school a few years ago. We were in Las Vegas, which was fortunate, because that’s where Flying by Foy is based, the country’s leading theatrical aereography* company.
They came and installed the rigging and trained the performers and crew at a much lower cost than if we hadn’t been in their home town. Good times.
*Aereography is the art of designing and staging compositions of movement governed by the mechanics of bodies in aerial motion; a portmanteau (combining Aer ial + Choreography ) coined by Peter Foy.
I was sorry to see Billy Connolly go; he was one of the least quirky/irritating of the returning champions.
Or they didn’t know that Peter Pan is traditionally played on stage by a woman.
That was my problem. I guessed Tinkerbell, despite having seen hundreds of ads for sandy duncan in the role as a kid growing up
haha. He got beat by the cloning experiment between David Spade and Foghorn Leghorn’s nephew.
“the cloning experiment between David Spade and Foghorn Leghorn’s nephew.” Spot on!
Oh boy, my chance to be pedantic! The kid was the widow Hen’s son. Foghorn only interacted with him because he wanted a warm place to live.
That was my guess as well and for the same reason. I just forgot that Peter on stage is traditionally played by a female actor.
Whereas Tinker Bell on stage is traditionally played by a flashing light.
