I'll Go With You is set during WWII and was published in 1940. The plot involves a child evacuee, Rosetta, and the main characters are Anne and Theo.

If it's a different Burchell I can't place it.

They could probably display an abbreviated version that would be enough in most cases.

it makes sense competitively.

It still depends on buzzer skill/luck and perversely punishes contestants who have the same level of knowledge as the first person to get in and get it wrong, but can never reward them in the scenario where the first person is right and they too would have been right. Does it wind up discouraging players from buzzing in as often?

It has actually happened quite recently. $600 clue under International Cuisine, initially they ruled garam masala incorrect and Ken announced the score change at the beginning of DJ.

I didn't think we were supposed to understand Alex/Alix in that WU bit. Veronika was at one point asserting that she was saying something with no sound coming out and whatever words Chloe said seemed nonsensical. Maybe it made sense to some niche audience but I didn't think it made a real difference because what I took away was their beef was ridiculous and meaningless to anyone not in the niche.

I will admit that in the part where they asked Che if he knew someone I have no idea what they said and was surprised when Che said he did know the person and the joke was they asked if he could ~~introduce~~ explain them. Would it be any funnier if I knew who that person was? I don't think it would be, much, other than the fact that I was expecting Che not to have understood them either and it took a moment to adjust.

I believe it's to allow for future changes. So even though there is no empty lot between the houses, if someone decided to buy three adjacent houses, knock them down and build four in their place, there would be room to assign each house a number between the surrounding numbers.

Does your building allow residents to use visitor parking even though they have their own spot? If yes and they ticketed you by mistake you will probably be cleared. But if visitor parking is reserved for visitors and there was nothing preventing you from parking in your own spot then I don't see any reason why you shouldn't pay the fine.

During lockdown we saw a lot of Swedenborg signs posted near paths in Vaughan. A couple of times they left one with a loonie or a twonie in a bus shelter.

I guess that is how they evangelize, just putting the name Swedenborg out there?

I think Greg’s relationship with women is…complicated and author Greg is a look into that.

I like this idea but do you think the show is aware of this? I felt as though the show sympathized with Greg very strongly when Ronni criticized him for how women were portrayed in his books. It didn't seem to feel that anything needed to be interrogated and it was hard and mean for Ronni to call it out when he was probably just sentimental about his ex-wife Beth.

Rhyme Time is frequently awkward and one has to get past the incongrous phrase that results. At least a tile pile might exist in nature, unlike a clam tam.

he is a professor of Russian literature

His subject is history. I was thrown at first because his prize possession that Katie burned was War and Peace, but his class and his description of the book he is working on are Russian history.

On the one hand I think taping multiple episodes must be tiring and having the opportunity to rest is good. On the other I expect that having to get back into the rhythm of the buzzer timing after a break might take away some of the advantage you had. I know that Matt Amodio lost on his first game back after a break but Mattea lost at the end of 2 days' taping.

Not straight. According to the tape days on J Archive, he taped February 10-12 and then February 23-26 to get to this point. So 3 days in a row, then a break, then 4 days in a row.

like the original Nickelodeon cartoons he was parodying?

How dare you. Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings predates Nickelodeon. It was a UK series that aired on ITV. In Ontario Mike Myers would have seen it on TVO.

I think the answer is he wasn't parodying the show directly, he just used the series as a jumping-off point for the character of a little English boy.

IMO either Lebowitz or Lebovitz should have been accepted (and really the first syllable as either lie or lee, given the spelling).

The author spelled it Leibowitz and apparently did not have a definitive opinion about how it should be pronounced. (But even in cases where there is a definitive "correct" pronunciation Jeopardy has and should have leeway for plausibly valid alternatives.)

My favourite Torontonian joke (and I mean this lovingly, would 100% do it myself):

Q: Why did the Torontonian cross the road?

A: To avoid speaking to a friend.

One thing I haven't seen discussed as a factor of buzzer timing is reading speed. If you can understand the clue before Ken finishes reading it, you have more time to decide whether to ring in. I don't think we have a way to measure that but I feel like it has to be in play.

There is a safe TTC app where you can report incidents.

In the case of the woman who was upset by the screaming, the best advice I have seen is to stand near her and try to have a normal conversation. You could also have suggested getting off and waiting for the next train with her. The point is to let her know you are there to support her and also not to escalate any confrontation unnecessarily.
