...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Okay, since nobody has a clue about the clue in Round 21, here's the full album cover with the letters blocked out.
You people are mostly older than me, I'm surprised you're not up on your 80's bands.
If Nobody gets it, D-Rod will retain control of the board. I probably won't post anything this weekend, since my brother's in town and I'm going to hang out with him. But you never know.
Oops. Better make that "What is the album 'Under the Big Black Sun' by the great LA band X?
Posted by: Dan-O on Aug. 11, 2006*bzzzz* Who is X?
Posted by: Victor on Aug. 11, 2006Both Dan-O and Victor are missing elements in their responses, and therefore the judges can't accept them.
Posted by: annika on Aug. 11, 2006Dang.
Posted by: Victor on Aug. 11, 2006Annika, if you don't post this weekend, you'll be missing out on the latest from your favorite American Skankwoman. Drudge currently links to an online article that also includes a hilarious YouTube video of her. Intellectually, this girl's from the same sheep farm as Anna Nicole Smith.
Kevin
"Who are X?"
Why, none other than John Doe, Xcene Cervenka, DJ Bonebreak and Billy Zoom.
Posted by: Dan-O on Aug. 11, 2006some interesting questions of rules interpretation presented by the latest responses. i'll have to consult with the judges for a ruling.
Posted by: annika on Aug. 11, 2006Kevin, Billy Idol was in "Generation X". A very different band.
Annie, the clue requests the name of the band, not the album. ;)
And I can't believe I didn't recognize it right off the bat. The world "detail" threw me off. I assumed it was a small part of the cover. (I looked at that entire wheel on Led Zeppelin III, mwheh.)
Posted by: Tuning Spork on Aug. 11, 2006That's not the controversy. The questions for the judges are:
Can D-Rod guess again, even though a) he already responded, and b) there was a time limit which applied to him alone, which expired.
The controversy is that a hint was given, so does that a) reset the whole clue, or b) just reset the whole thing as to those people who were not subject to a time limit.
What is fair? I realize D-Rod and T-Spork are the only ones with dogs in this fight.
Posted by: annika on Aug. 11, 2006I never play this game but always keep up. So, if Annika is asking an opinion of the audience, this member votes for "a) reset the whole clue." It seems to be the most fair because the clue was given to all participants without reference to whether time limits or second guesses were allowed.
Posted by: Blu on Aug. 11, 2006The word "detail" threw me off too, but if I were a judge i'd rule to start over with a new $500 question instead of a Daily Dbl.
Anal for Five, please.
Welp, the way I read it is that, once d-rod missed the deadline, you threw it open to all comers. Since you made no indication that a brand new time limit for d-rod was in place, it's an open call.
Then again, this is d-rod's Daily Double and perhaps he should benefit from the revised clue in the same way as the original clue.
But, shoulda woulda coulda. Since d-rod didn't answer by 9:00pm PDT, it was up for grabs. Unfortunately, no one had a clue apparantly, so you posted the hint, noting:
If Nobody gets it, D-Rod will retain control of the board.
I feel your pain. I don't think any of us expected a "hint" to follow and, really now, it shouldn't have. So, in the interests of commity, I would like to lift this burden from your shoulders and suggest that you give another, different clue for d-rod's choice of anal bum covers for $500. Even make it a Daily Double if ya like!
Would that settle it for ya? :D
Posted by: Tuning Spork on Aug. 11, 2006Just do what all the other Judges do; declare a mistrial and start over (leaving the defendant in custody, of course).
Posted by: shelly on Aug. 12, 2006The judges ruling is in. D-Rod gets credit. For his next category he has stated his preference for anal.
unnh that didn't sound right.
Posted by: annika on Aug. 15, 2006Which do you want, D-Rod, 300 or 400?
