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?
