6. Not a Clue, but it looks like Ayer's Rock if Ayer's Rock didn't happen to be in the middle of the continent.

7. Somewhere in Thailand?

8. Royal Palace in Bangkok

9. Angkor Wat, Cambodia

10. Famous palace in Vietnam

Is it fair to look it up online if I know what it is but do not have the full name? If that isn't what AML did then I am phenomenally impressed...

PS Great game, very fun.

By all means, you can look things up online. I'd be gobsmacked if anyone ran the table here without serious online researching.

I recognized #s 8 & 9 pretty quickly, but had to do some clarifying online. #10 took a couple of hours of entertaining hunting to find. I'm still hunting for #s 6 & 7, between actual paying gigs. :)

Same deal as last week (and I'll just continue this going forward) I'll confirm correct guesses and tally the current scoreboard on Thursdays.

The Who didn't bother me at all yesterday. They sounded good enough that we wondered if there was some dubbing going on. And the stage was pretty cool. It wasn't my style of music but (for all the gripping I've been reading today) they sounded fine. Maybe next year they can get someone more hip and today like . . . the Glenn Miller Orchestra!

2000 Retro-Not-the-Oscar

One of my beliefs in regard to the quality of movies is that it takes some time to really tell what was good and what wasn't. Some movies give a quick 'wow' but they don't age well. Others bug you on the first viewing, but keep gnawing at you to rewatch. Ten years should be enough time to really have the handle on a year's worth of films. With your help, I'm going to try and figure out what movie was the best of the year 2000. Here is what I want, please nominate some of the best movies from that year. I'm aiming to create a list of ten dramas and five comedies. Please leave a comment with up to five contenders. I'll compile a list and we'll narrow it down to the finalists so we can start reviewing in January. The list will be open so you can watch along. The more nominations the better so don't be shy! I'm going to put a few rules in place to keep it from being crazy. The movie must be out on DVD. I'm hoping that won't be t...

Car names

Your cars all have names, right? That's only normal behavior, isn't it? A few weeks ago one of my coworkers bought a car and was very excited about it. The only damper on her joy came when I asked if she'd picked out names yet. She looked at me blankly so I asked everyone in our row. Name after name. Some were cute names. Some were based on the license plate. Some had adjectives (i.e. 'Sassy Girl'). She'd never heard of this before so she started taking suggestions. I gave her 'the red menace' but she's too young for that to have meant anything. To my shame though, my car doesn't have a name either. Somehow in the four years of owning her a name never popped out. That simply wouldn't do! And it didn't have to be that way. After discussing it with the FP Gal, I chose a name that she'd shot down for the baby. Now that I've bought her, she will be called Pagoda . Bonus observation: people tend to drive cars of the oppo...
