The Feud: Yeah, but it’s a dry heat - by JMLVT68 [game over]

What? Oh, I see.

Yes, I know that. That’s why I gave that as my answer to #9, a summer song. I gave “On the Radio” as my answer to #7, a Summer song. It is only because of the way I mentioned them so closely together just now, I think, that the confusion arose for you. Maybe if I’d paragraph-broke between the sentences.

W00t!

2nd!

Clawing my way back up!

Ahhhh. Bach.

I think “washing windows” and “window washing” are the same.

It may not be much but at least it’ll get me out of that three-way tie.

Oops. I’ll correct it tomorrow. (The spreadsheet is at work.)

Wow, I would have done horrible in this.

And really, more people remember Atlanta for the Summer Games than Beijing? That puzzles me. Must have a lot of Georgians on the board :stuck_out_tongue:

Or a lot of Americans on the board, at least.

My thought process was “Hmm, I should pick an American city. What’s the most recent American city to host? SLC? No, wait, that was the winter games. OK, then, LA.”

Yes, I forgot about Atlanta entirely, but if I had remembered, I would have gone with it.

3rd!? I’ll take it! Good feud!

Well done Intergalactic Gladiator!

I’m not American, my thought process was more about which Olympics had a significant event that Americans and non-Americans would remember. Sadly, it came down to Munich or Atlanta and I picked Atlanta, being the most current.

That said, I wished I had answered London.

For me it was three things:

  1. There was a bombing
  2. It’s the closest the Olympics have ever been to me physically.
  3. Thanks to the Olympics, my baseball team doesn’t play in a giant punch bowl any more.
