Thank you, Justin! You beat me to it. I usually post the link here for you and a couple of others who have asked me to (my huge fanclub of four). Dan brought home champagne to celebrate my move onto the political page. I hadn't realized I had made it. We had the most fun evening. One of AMmo's friends was here and stayed for dinner, which I had amazingly and fortuitously made, and then we played Facts in Five, for which Ammo has developed an obsession. I think you would be wonderful at this game. We make up answers a lot- and if you can make any kind of case for your creations, we give credit. Ammo's friend fit right in.. one of the categories was Military Figures-- the letter was A- He wrote Joan of Arc. We gave it to him. Things deteriorated badly by the last round. For human body organs- we had the letters R, J,M C, F. I couldn't get any except I wrote colon for C. Dan vetoed it. So I vetoed his "fleur de lis" under flowers. Then he vetoed Brian's "Reproductive" for R organs, but I vetoed his veto. And then he gave Ammo credit for Johnson. He said he deserved "chutzpah points". More chutzpah points were awarded for Dead Musicians. Ammo got confused with another category in the same round -- Famous AMericans-- and wrote Marilyn Monroe under dead musicians. When challenged, he quickly started singing "Happy Birthday to You" a la JFK. We gave it to him. There are evenings that occur spontaneously, without expectation, that you know you will remember as high points. This was one for us. Now it is thundering and we are hoping for a storm. That would be wonderful!
