\"pyramid\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who advanced to the final? Did Beau show-up Brooks and return to the Winner’s Circle without him, or has the student become the the master? Did the Novak clan con their way in? Or did the masters of logic figure it all out? Is my nickname really “the dentist”?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I will keep this relatively short, as the winning score was only two shy of the total times my dear daughter threw up today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The champ has been knocked out. Upsets (?) across the board as the bottom two from the previous round in each group advance.<\/p>\n

Here were your categories and answers<\/p>\n

\n
Fiction 59<\/strong> (short things)
\nDanny Devito, Munchkin, Abbreviation, short cut, James Madison, summary, short fuseFortunately, Unfortunately<\/strong> (items of superstition)
\nRabbit’s foot, Black cat, Four-leaf clover, Broken mirror, Horseshoe, Doppelg\u00e4nger, Rainbow<\/p>\n

Bantam Bulwyr<\/strong> (bad openings)
\nAbyss, Knock-knock joke, Creature, Pick-up line, Black hole, Gas leak, Bottomless Pit<\/p>\n

Machine of Death<\/strong> (deadly machinery)
\nWoodchipper, Terminator, Ford Pinto, Lawn Mower, ATV, Chain Saw, Hydraulic Press<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Hope you enjoyed the themes. You may or may not have noticed the good luck\/bad luck items alternated. That was easy. What really took some work was coming up with seven answers for Fiction 59 that had exactly 59 total characters!<\/p>\n

Creature was probably the hardest answer out there. I think Pete clued it best with “_____ Feature”. (“______ from the Black Lagoon” would have been a gimme). I don’t think anyone guessed it. You may be wondering WTF that has to do with bad openings. One Adobery Point TM<\/sup> to the person who figures it out.<\/p>\n

Apparently there is some wood chipper action in this Fargo movie every one of you used for your clue.<\/p>\n

One last tidbit. Here is the breakdown of who was chosen by the other group. Did you choose wisely?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"cluers\"<\/div>\n

There will be either a live final or semi-live final depending on how schedules word out. If it doesn’t work out for live, I will record each pair playing the Winner’s Circle in real time and mash it all together for a viewing at a later time, or just a vid to watch whenever.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
