I’ve missed that stupid “tuxedo” question twice. (To be clear(er), “tuxedo” is the wrong answer.)

And then recently I missed the question in Learned League where the answer WAS “tuxedo.”

Then I gave up and read about the history of tuxedoes.

I thought the get rate on that would be much higher than it was.
But, then again, I think that a lot on there. ..

I'd never heard of Tuxedo Park. Nor did I know that "tuxedo" comes from Native American. I guess I can see it now.

I put "fedora," which you eagle-eyed readers may note came from France, not New York.

But at least it was from about the same time, and Pierre Lorillard IV is a French name.

So it wasn't my worst wrong answer. By far. (Unfortunately.)

In which state is Magazine Mountain located? This may not be the exact wording, but it's similar. I keep picking Massachusetts instead of Arkansas. I must have a mental block against Arkansas.

Luckily, their pun usage is only periodical.

The statute of limitations may have expired, but I never *saw* this coming.

A couple hours before sunset, on a dry day, I decided to assay Magazine Mtn in my jogging shoes. I made it about 300 yards before the sunlight tilted in such a direction that every thirty feet or so I could visually perceive what I had already felt. There were, with nearly mathematical precision, spiderwebs flung across the path. The webs were easily a yard across, and spun by girls the size and color of chili beans. I immediately gave up the game, but the welts left on me didn't disappear for a month.

I would recommend hunkering down in Excelsior Springs. Spectacular vistas of the Black River, the Ozark park system, and some fine spelunking as well. Just don't go jogging near sunset.
