New Scaratings

It's been on Buzztime's site for a couple of days, but here is the list:

May 2 – Baseball Pitchers
May 3 – Police Dramas
May 9 – Popular Websites
May 10 – Mother/Daughter Actors
May 16 – Marine Life
May 17 – JJ Abrams
May 23 – British Monarchs
May 24 – Arrested Development
May 30 - U.S. National Parks
May 31 - Lead Singers

One game that I don't feel strong at but should make a go at anyway is 5/23. Enough questions on that subject on Brainbuster or Showdown... May play 5/2, and probably will play 5/30.

I really enjoyed Baseball Pitchers tonight. Nailed 13 out of 15 and am kicking myself over 1 of the ones that I missed...other one I had no clue on and kept missing....

I am angry at missing the "who pitched a 14 Inning CG in a 2-1 World Series game?" I went with Whitey Ford but then saw Ruth and changed much too late.

Had absolutely no clue on Bo Belinsky and should have just gone based on a funny name

Bo I knew. Just fanned on where the ageless pitcher (Moyer?) was last year, and had no idea on Q15 (the one-legged guy), other than that the answer wasn't 4 or 5. I agree, decent game.

I made an educated guess on Bert Shepard between him and 1 other answer.

We had another great Topix last night with Police Dramas, ending with a 13.7 average or so. More newer stuff than we were hoping for but still managed a great score. Only question we butchered was the last one.

Also, had a great Star Wars trendlalicious except for me booting the Yoda question forgetting about his light saber battle with Count Dooku in the 2nd movie...

I wanted to play the Star Wars game, but my nephew had a baseball game yesterday.

You missed a good one. Was 12 for 12 blew one and then had to guess and then nailed the last one. First fun Trendalicious in a while

What was the one you had to quess?

Wish I would have played, anybody willing and able to reproduce the questions?

Nomar, we guessed on "which director and friend did George Lucas base the character of Harrison Ford on?" I went Spielberg, it was Coppolla.

Bo, I assume you mean Star Wars Trendalicious

7. What was the name of the animal that the Tusken Raiders rode?
8. What name was originally not in the credits for Star Wars?
9. The aforementioned friend of Lucas question
10. Which movie did we first see Yoda in a light saber duel?
11. What name did Luke always call Obi Wan Kenobi?
12. Who was the pilot of the Millenium Falcon?
13. What does Leia call Han Solo in Empire Strikes back?

John Ratzenberger as Major Derlin

Thanks for the Q's.

This explains the one tonight.

Thanks for reminding me not to play...

As Kramer once said, "I'm out."

I enjoyed last night's British Monarch's. Scored in the low 11s, although had I stuck to my guns on the last question with George III would have just missed 12K. Not a great score, but better than I expected. Congratulations to those, including West Park Station and Adams Mill, who did well.

We geezed two do-able ones. Otherwise, I was quite happy with my score

thanks. i have to say i was very proud of the guys winning british monarchs one night and then coming back to win arrested development the next.

Due to poor planning walked in on Q1 of tonight's Star Trek game, so didn't play but watched. Decent mix of Q's leaning to ToS, but dabbling in TNG, DS9, Voyager, an original cast movie, and one Q each from the reboot series. Didn't know which movie Shatner directed, no problem on the rest. Didn't stick around for rankings but would think there would be at least one perfect location and multiple perfect individual scores.

Correct Answer! You earned 1000 points

One location scored 15000, and there were eleven 15000s on the top 20 individuals leaderboard.

(West Coast results may vary)

F CUBS!!!!! FBOSOX!!!!!

FPDRES!!!!! FCHGRS!!!!!

Threw us way off too. Awful first round didnt help either

U.S. National Parks was fun. If we had one more player at Chicago Sams at the start of the game, we would have made a team effort, but we still did pretty well. In that game, my best precalls were the NP that started in 2000 (Cuyahoga Valley) and the park near Seward, Alaska (Kenai Fjords). On the down side, I blew the first question, and was slow to pick up on the park with glacial features (Voyageur).

Given that May had a U.S. National Parks Topix, I half expect to see a Canadian National Parks game in the near future. If it happens, I'll be ready.

I was on Voyageur but Al pulled me off on to King's Canyon and we were slow getting back...

Why not multibox? After my one early-evening playing companion left mid-Six, I was in fact left playing five boxes alone during the Marathon round. And then ISSUES was able to arrive, so our two-headed team was able to work to a third-place finish in the National Park game
