Dennis First question... gotten. Second question... gotten. Third question... $50: Meaning one over par in golf, what term does the military use to refer to an unidentified aircraft? Time's up. Strike one. It was a bogey. Time to call some friends... $50: In 2007, what classic culinary toy did Hasbro recall after a handful of kids suffered severe burns on their fingers? Regina is the Mobile Shoutout. "Would it be the Easy-Bake Oven?" Correct for $150! They end up with $450. Will they take the money and drink themselves sober, or sober up on a Video Bonus for double? They're... going to be wimps. Their words. Next, these guys... Passengers: Anthony & Michael Long ride home. First question... $50: Helping to launch the careers of the Ramones and the Talking Heads, what legendary NYC music venue closed its doors in 2006? Studio 54... is wrong. It was CBGBs.

Passengers: Katie & Tim They would've swept the lower tier were it not for this... $50: In a 2007 interview, pundit Ann Coulter gleefully reminded viewers that Barack Obama has what middle name? Not "Osama." It was "Hussein." They still have $150, though. (C-Note: And that is why America hates Ann Coulter. Not because of her politics... but because she's hateful). They make another $200 in time to see red... RED LIGHT CHALLENGE: Almost one-fourth of all Wikipedia articles are written in English.

They take the money. It's a lot. Climbing in for the second half... Passengers: Joe, Janisse, Jen &
Jessica. They sweep the first tier for $200 and the second for a perfect game with $600! Will they risk it on the Video for double? Might as well!

They arrive at McSorley's when they hear this... $100: Based in Freeport, ME, what clothing retailer was anointed "the Mecca of prep" in the "Official Preppie Handbook"? It's either J. Crew or Tommy Hilfiger. Tommy Hilfiger is... not right. J. Crew is not right either. It was LL Bean. And more bad news... McSorley's is closed. Okay, friends. That's last call. You don't have to go home, but you gotta get up out of my cab. |

horse?
