Odds and Ends

Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the 2-word 1960s civil rights crusaders whose monument is partially located in a former Alabama Greyhound depot are Freedom Riders.

Judging the writers: Including Celebrity Jeopardy! last Sunday, this is the third time in eight days that there’s been a category related to bartending.

Ken’s Korner: At the top of the show, he told us that next Monday will be the start of the brand new “Second Chance Tournament”, which leads into the ToC.

Correct Qs: DD1 – Who was Betty Ford? (Cris said “Ford” and curiously, Ken remained silent until Cris added the first name.) DD2 – Who was Ayn Rand? DD3 – Who was Mozart? FJ – What is Gerber?
