Taping for a Friday show where the contestants were dropping like flies early in the week. It would be more surprising NOT to have several WE's.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I'd have to ATA, too. I don't recall seeing any of these movies.

Lisa never indicated that she had any idea what the expression meant, metaphorically. It would have helped if she did.

Maybe there is something I don't see - for me, there was no other answer that it could have been but religious holidays.

I know it isn't Primary Colors, and pretty sure it's not Face/Off. But at this level and type of question, ATA will surely come through for me - and the results indicate I would have been correct.

I would like to have heard what Lisa's reasoning was - it seems pretty obvious if one knows the meaning of the phrase - some special occasion. That would almost scream "holiday" even without having the word "religious" associated with it.

This may be the easiest run to 25K, at least for me, that I have seen in a long time. Must be sweeps and they are looking for a bigger winner than the usual thousandaires.

Not that it worked in this case...
