True, but at least calling them “Canada geese” doesn’t send the Department of Homeland Security into a tizzy, wondering if they showed their passports at the border. 😃

Thanks Dolo for publicity.

We are down to one feud every 2 weeks and Worm missed it. That is an immediate DQ and a last place. Worm is where he belongs .Last,last,last.  
Trebek was the proper answer. Celine retired and Alex is on everyday.

Heh, heh.

Although I finished last, it’s fitting that I was 42.

So close. And I’m pretty sure I finished dead last in the last one, so it could have been a worst to first thing. Dag.

Well, live and learn. Obviously I’m no Great White Northerner (although I heard the McKenzie Brothers’ song “Take Off!” just this morning, as it happens). Thanks for another fun Feud.
