Tony: Guys, welcome to the show.  Kourtney... please tell us about yourself.

Well, I am shift leader at a national sandwich chain. I love to learn languages and cultures, I also like dealing with collecting, designing interiors, and watching different older shows.

[tmann3x]

Good luck to you, Kourtney.

And Bryan, please tell the folks watching you at home about The Bryan Law Story.

[tmann3x]

Good luck to you, Bryan.


Now that we've gotten to know our players, let's begin the game.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Now that both players are all set, let's take a look at the nine subjects.



[CATEGORIES REVEAL]

We have COLORS, ABOUT WORDS, TV STARS... a visual category... ROYALTY, COMIC STRIPS, PRESIDENTS, I LIKE THE 90's, the GRAND QUESTION is a special category.  If you give me the correct answer, we'll add $1,000 to the pot.  And finally... WHO AM I?

Each correct answer earns $250 that will be added to the pot.  The center box contains two questions.  Answer both correctly, and we'll add $500 to the pot.

Kourtney, you'll be going first.  Select a category.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s start with Colors.

[tmann3x]

This category is worth $250 that will be added to the pot.  Here's your question.



COLORS - $250

What magnificent shade of pink was named after an 1859 battle in the Second Italian War of Independence? The pink dye was invented that year, and the gent who created it apparently thought that naming it after the battle would magnify its importance.

[pathfinder20]

Fuschia?

[tmann3x]

Fuschia is incorrect.  It was MAGENTA.

Let's shuffle the categories.



[CATEGORIES SHUFFLE]

Bryan, it's your turn.  Select a category.

[Bryan]

I love the 90’s

[tmann3x]

Get this question right and we'll add 250 to the pot.  Question...



I LOVE THE 90's - $250

This 1990 movie was directed by Martin Scorsese and starred Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, and Joe Pesci. It won the BAFTA award for Best Film and Best Director in 1991.

[Bryan]

[APPLAUSE]

After placing an O, we have $250 in the pot.  Let's shuffle the categories...



[CATEGORIES SHUFFLE]

Kourtney, let's see you get that X on the board.  Select.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s try colors for the center box.

[tmann3x]

Very important category worth $500.  I'll give you two questions and then we'll give you an extra time for you to think about it.  Here are your two questions...



COLORS - $500

A. What color is "cerise," a word that entered English from French only a couple hundred years ago at most?

B. Sienna, a shade of brown good for painting the color of wild buffalo and other wild game, has which claim to fame?



Here's your extra time.


[THINK CUE]



OK, I'll give you the first question while you answer it correctly.


A. What color is "cerise," a word that entered English from French only a couple hundred years ago at most?

[pathfinder20]

Final answer?

[pathfinder20]

Yes.

[tmann3x]

We'll accept it... pink or red.

Now answer this question.



B. Sienna, a shade of brown good for painting the color of wild buffalo and other wild game, has which claim to fame?

[pathfinder20]

Named after a Mountain Range.

[tmann3x]

No... the correct answer was one of the oldest pigments, used in cave paintings.

Let's shuffle.
