They did have "Grand" and "rapids" in the question, Kazoo. Your state's not as obscure as all that, even to a New Yorker.Kazoo65 wrote:I was amazed that Francecso knew the $1K question about Grand Rapids-maybe it's because of all the media attention from Gerald Ford's funeral last year.

So he's a WE/WE®. OK, so his hook isn't being tall, it's the eye thing.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Francesco is a film & video producer.

I haven't watched either show but I've heard the comparison made. It also helps to know what the other programs are about so they can be eliminated as possible answers.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$8000

Just as with J! I am often amazed at how little people know about the Bible. Not that I'd expect them to have a seminarian's depth of knowledge, but there is so much in our culture that comes from it (expressions, stories, etc.). Having said that, this is not as easy as it sounds, although it's easily Googlable if the PAF uses it.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$16,000

I do know her real name now and she has shown up on Ken Jenning's trivia contests with that name recently. (within the last year, I think). She also still shows up as part of volunteer organizations around Kalamazoo.

Yes, I know there's a real Kazoo. The challenge is to contact her through some other channel than these message boards to confirm that she's really behind her screen name and not some imp, as the naysayers believe.andrewjackson wrote:One of my big regrets was not meeting her when I lived in Kalamazoo.MarleysGh0st wrote:I still believe the posts are hers.earendel wrote: You're not the only one who thinks that way.

The fact that her real name is on Ken's site makes me think she is still around but someone could still be imping her over here.MarleysGh0st wrote:Yes, I know there's a real Kazoo.

My personal opinion. It's really her posting here.
