There are a couple of names that pop into my mind, but I'm gonna go with the one that is sticking out to me from commercials (though they could be for something else entirely):
SC Johnson
.

Ah yes, Johnson & Johnson, the family company!

Unfortunately the answer was actually the
Clorox Company
. Alas! Let's get a new category up there.

Cartoons because I can't wait to see how this one swerves.

They're not all swerves!

Cartoons

Mr. Jinks, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon cat introduced in 1958, was constantly at odds with what two mice with rhyming names?

Let's go with Xalxe and Xalxe. I keep thinking of possible answers, but it'll be wrong. I probably have seen this cartoon once though.

C'mon man, those don't even rhyme! Their names are actually Pixie and Dixie.

Flags

Which U.S. state has a state flag that is pennant shaped?

Easy for you to say...

I mean, I know Nepal has the only non-rectangular country flag, but I know even less about state flags than I do country flags. And so this is nothing more than a guess, but I'll guess
South Carolina
.

Man, what is it with these corners? I'm sorry, the correct answer is the great state of
Ohio

Taglines

Taglines

What 2011 film starring Simon Pegg used the tagline, “Who’s up for a close encounter?”

Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2019 7:16 am
by pablito
I didn't see it, but I think it's that stupid alien film Paul. Seemed like quite the sufferable film. Simon Pegg is someone whose career I usually follow.

Paul...is correct! It was...not a good film.

Please teach me, because I don't know either.

It's entertaining..

It's just really strange how many times you've skipped a winning tile or a tile that opens up two winning squares for you (ie unblockable win condition).

Is it just the categories that you're avoiding or do you want to take more money or are you trying to get a draw?

I'm an riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Whatever will keep the Nielsen ratings high.

Ah yes, the bard!

Shakespeare

How many different King Henrys are title characters in history plays by Shakespeare?

Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2019 3:40 pm
by racefan12
It should probably technically be "Kings Henry", but I digress.

And shockingly, it's another question I don't know. I know Henry VIII, of course, but beyond that, I'm not sure.

I'm gonna say
3
just because everything is better in threes.

Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2019 3:54 pm
by Xalxe
I don't think that's how plurals work? Though I did consider "King Henries."

And again, a guess that is so close! There were actually four: Henry IV, V, VI and VIII. I guess the seventh wasn't that interesting!

Oh, I was wondering when I was avoiding the winning tile, but then I realized,
have you ever stared "Number Please" in the eyes?


It's like gazing into the eyes of a frightened 5 year old at an amusement park while in the queue of the ferris wheel when her older brother tells her that creepy clowns wrap people up in cotton candy and then put them in a spaceship only to eat them later and she realizes that in her hand is a cone of cotton candy (fairy floss) and they're next to enter into the ferris wheel gondola that is only attached by just a few bolts. Also, have you ever tried operating a ferris wheel before? Unloading a full wheel to zero gondolas is one of the most stressful things I ever did in my carnie career. I swear I was pressing on the brakes for a full rotation until it actually stopped. When you see empty gondolas, do not think to yourself "Oh that's stupid, why don't they load them all", it's because people weigh a lot and I'll keep people captive in that wheel until we can get you all safely off, and it's better to keep gondolas empty and maintain a queue instead of wrecking up my balance plan.

So, yes, I have skipped a winning tile, and I think Number, Please is a good one to skip.
