OK up to the last question. I know zilch about Hannah Montana (except she's very popular and her dad is played by Billy Ray Cyrus).ATA here. If I get two answers that get lots of votes, Double Dip.
I'm just a game show nerd.

The dreaded Hannah Montana category returns!

$1K: I've never heard of Pike Place Market. Although Seattle seems like the obvious choice for a Starbucks question, I would've been forced to ask the audience.

$25K: Since ATA is gone, I'll have to use PAF here.

Because the air date was close to Thanksgiving? Imitating barnyard fowl doesn't seem like a strong hook.

I don't know if this question had anything to do with it but I had a very disturbing dream about Will Ferrell last night.

Robert cut it very close timewise.

I was thinking it might be a question about Miley Cyrus' birth name - someone I believe suggested that this might turn up as a question when the news reports came out about her changing her name.

I am puzzled about Robert's choice of lifeline, unless Dr. Yasmeen has children or he knew she was a fan of the show (neither of which, apparently, was the case). Somehow it disturbs me that I knew the answer - elwing watches the show and I've caught some of the episodes.

Dream question for me. This is my new favorite from Starbucks. Had some while waiting for my audition and show viewing this past year. My sis also had a frozen yogurt place in the market years ago. First one in the entire region. BIL is from that area.

I dislike Will Ferrell, but know that the writers favor him. Knew this from studying.

BTW, ear, you were redundant. ANY dream with Will Ferrell in it is disturbing.

And this is a question from the game on my cellphone! One of them shows up for real at least once a month. Reason enough for me to keep playing with it.

My ATA, very likely. Wasn't sure enough of the right answer, which I had more by process of elimination than anything else.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

So far so good. For the Hannah Montana question, I have seen a few espisodes, and Brooke Shields is the only listed actress that appeared on the show.

The question should have been easy for a PAF. Google Hannah Montana's mom and pictures of Brooke Shields pop up.

Was Robert going for the "hungover" look when he dressed for this show? A three-day growth of beard, artfully tousled hair, a dress shirt with the collar unbuttoned and a loosened tie...

I guess that's fashionable among the demographically desirable. :roll:
