    I had more fun than a tick coming off a diet participating on this show! Thanks to Emily, the excellent host, Jared Sandersfeld, the Producer, Cameramen, and especially the Judge (who was most kind to me!) I’ll let you in a little secret…it seemed to blow your minds that I got the question correct about which animal has the nerve that goes from its brain down to its heart and back again…and I knew it right away (although I acted as if I didn’t). You see, 5 years ago I had the same question on the National Trivia Network; it was a 5 part multiple choice question. I didn’t have a clue, but the key is to carefully evaluate the question for a “logical clue”. And the logic is “down its long neck”. I got the question right back then on a hunch, and nailed it again last night! Again, thanks for a swell time, and my opponent was truly a formidable player…Great Game, would love to do it again!

    p.s. The Beach Blanket Bingo answer came from a 1965 movie (from a series of Beach Movies) staring Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon, Troy Donahue, Buddy Hackett et all…truly a grade B movie, but fun! What is Beach Blanket Bingo? Ha! Hot surfer chicks and dudes chasing and swapping beach blankets for partners during the cool hot summertime!
