Just in case the guy on KFAN has got his intellectual property ducks in a row with his Kickstarter thing, I will not refer to this game by the same name he has given his version. Instead, this will be the initial time I "host" a game for the second on this platform with the following rules:
1. I will give you two letters (for example, "K.P"). All the items that week will be a two-word answer in which each word begins with letter in the appropriate spot. The answer can be a person, place, thing, or other two-word phrase. For example, if "K.P." are the letters, then one answer might be Kirby Puckett. Another answer might be "Krakow, Poland." And so on.
2. I will provide six clues for each answer. The clues will be provided one-at-a-time.
3. If you believe you know the answer, make a Spoilered guess in the thread. The point will go to whomever correctly identifies the answer first. If you submit an incorrect response, then you can no longer submit for that particular answer.
4. The participant with the most correct answers at the end of the week wins. (If there is a tie, then I will have tiebreakers for only the participants in the tie.)
5. You're going to be on the honor system, but you should not be using the internet or other resources.
The letters will be revealed, and clues for the first phrase will commence at 10:00am.
Got tied up, letters and first phrase at 1100am
The letters are R.G.

It would have been a race for typing speed at clue 3 if I'd been around.
I assumed as much (for any number of citizens) and typed as fast as my little fingers could go.

3. Where the Dude bought some coffee
Next clue at 245
Yeah, well, that's just like the right answer, man
I didn't know the G was a part of the name, but made sense. Also, wasn't it cream, not coffee?
He bought coffee (presumably, because he ended up with the can) because it was cheaper than the most modestly priced receptacle (for Donny)
I have to admit that I was waiting eagerly for both:
and
I was also waiting for your first one.
Got to keep people on their toes!
I was waiting for Raylan Givens
Sorry, he's being cancelled
I was waiting on that second one as well. Also
Your last two were also on my list that I started
I started clues for one as well as for
among others.
This one was a really good set of letters. And clues, for that matter. Most of them I was left scratching my head until one key clue - I saw something about Gronk's WWE stuff recently, otherwise I'd never have known that one. Thanks again for running this!
I was keeping #2 in mind during R.B.
Mags, looks like you missed Small Business as the final phrase from S.B. on the spreadsheet
Corrected, and updated through the end of RG
