Happy Birthday, Jeff! What is this, 39?

Happy Birthday, Jeff! What is this, 39?

Hard to believe it's the big 60 for me today

 

[Rolltydr]

Perfect today. I still didn’t know what the last grouping was until it was displayed..

 

[clifffaith]

No freaking clue. Did look up the word howser to find out it was a type of rope used on a ship, but that didn’t help.

So I just forced the game to end by making random selections. For as much TV as I watch, shame on me for not getting the one category even though I only watched two of the four shows.

You just gave me a clue! I am stuck at the same place

Thank You @clifffaith for the assist and nudging me out to a perfect game

I blew it today. Two of the four categories completely escaped me. When I saw the answers I realized it's because I don't watch network TV or much sports, so I was lost. They expect you to have social knowledge, and we all know that ain't me.

[Sandi Bo]

PHEW is right!!

Spoiler

I got NFL Players for the wrong reason (lucky 4th guess). But can't believe (sort of, ok, it's believable) I didn't think of TV doctors. I especially enjoyed HOUSE and Grey's Anatomy for years.

Perfect again today. I really didn't know what the last one was until they showed it though.

 

[Sandi Bo]

PERFECT! They owed us an easy one after yesterday!

 

[Rolltydr]

I was perfect, also, but I still didn’t know the connection between the last four.

If you close your results window, you'll see the category headings and word groupings underneath in the main window.

Spoiler: Today's categories

 

[clifffaith]

Quick and easy today! After thirty years selling draperies the yellow category jumped right out at me!

 

[slip]

I'm on a roll. Perfect again.

 

[DaveNV]

A good day today.

Yeah, I meant I didn’t know until it was displayed at the end. That particular subject doesn’t interest me so after I got the first three connections, I wanted to see what the last one was.

You didn't watch Dark Shadows? Did I just date myself (if I hadn't already, lol)?

Not really. I remember it being on but that was before video games and computers, so I was usually outside playing football, basketball or baseball. And then, after I turned 16, there were girls.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Is there an EPIC FAILURE score? That's me today. Granted it was quick, but nada for me today.

Spoiler

The Universities are what got me - I had GRAINS and ROYAL TITLES figured out as subjects but tried mixing in the RICE and DUKE - didn't work out well. Followed by Oscar Winners being no help (I'm no good at that).

 

[clifffaith]

Perfect score, but definitely took some thought. And I did not know what the remaining words had in common without seeing the answer.

Thank you, Sandi! I was dreading posting because I didn’t get any either. Those were very hard. I ran into the same problems you did and agree about the directors. I never would have guessed the category much less gotten any of the names.

 

[billymach4]

Yes today this selection kicked my BUTT! Initially thought it would be easy after the Grain selection. Thought I could get the Royal selection. But no!

Oh Well.

 

[rickandcindy23]

I did well today. I only botched once, then I figured it all out. Rick did the same thing I did.
