====================================================================It's 11:59 and 59 seconds. THIS happened on FAN Network today...Damn... I didn't do too badly this round, but the sins of Round Three still hang heavy over my head.
On the bright side, a time of rejoicing lies ahead. Contestants, if you could gather your loved ones together for just one episode celebrating the glory of FAN Network World Series of Pop Culture, what would it be?
Pink Shirt Mod: Best headshot mod-kill in Off Topic and the ensuing Green Font Tribal Chant
Hawk Jefferson: Most memorable years for the John Wayne Gacy Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Brad: Greatest laugh track sequence during a Star Wars Christmas Special.
Light those candles and get those four-leaf clovers out ... it's World Series of Pop Culture @midnight!MGH: Tough game so far.
Jonathan Michaels: Yes, and with eliminations coming up, the holiday season could not have come at a better time to lift our spirits.
Cageking: Yes, so many ways to celebrate with friends and family. We need that.
fw91: So many ways, wha?
Jeff Magnum PI: Yeah man, way not cool. The man said *THE* holiday season. Singular. There can be only one.
Cageking: Well, I, I didn't know ... I mean, one? ... Huh?
MGH: He has no clue, does he?
LodiRulz: Well, MGH, the feast of Alvis is not for everyone.
fw91: Not for everyone?! The man mowed down 439 buffalo in one week so that you may never go infertile!
Cageking: Am I missing something here?
Jeff Magnum PI: He speaks of ALVIS, you heretic!
Felicity Smoak: Only about 1/3 of the planet is Alvian, you guys.
Jonathan Michaels: Don't speak like that! Alvis is listening! He sees you when you're sleeping and when you're awake and when you're hard-boiling eggs WHILE you're sleeping.
Cageking: That ... doesn't make any sense.
Lodirulz: Blasphemy!
fw91: Vengeance is mine and a dish best served cold, saith Alvis. And then he shot that guy in the freakin' face.
MasonK: Forget this arguing, when are we getting to the feast, with ham and pomp?
Sheriff Tyger: Keep your River Styx-loving face quiet!
stinger4christ: That's not the true meaning of Alvistime.
Jonathan Michaels: Neither is it a time for ham nor pomp. Nay, the true meaning of Alvistime is drinking. Drinking and revenge.
fw91: The man parted the Rio Grande with a comb!
stinger4christ: Well, let's all calm down. Let's get some real Alvistime spirit in here.
Lodirulz: The ghost of Alvis?
stinger4christ: No, it's almost showtime. Let's raise a glass and toast Alvis.
Cageking: Toasted Alvis? With butter and jelly? Now that's a holiday I can get behind!

It Happens But Once a YearIt Happens But Once a Year(This round must come from the Pop Culture Medium of Television.)Contestants, for some, this could be a really happy time of year or a really miserable one. However, there is surely some point during the year that you can get those spirits up. The theme for this round is to select any clip from a television show that features a holiday theme from any holiday or holiday-ish type moment. As long as the clip incorporates some type of holiday reference or holiday feel to it, it is acceptable. Remember, we are looking for TV-specific moments, however.

And now our Live Challenge!Sweet EmojiWorldless text messages. A thing of the future or a thing of de-evolution to the past. No time for such debates here, because it's definitely a thing of the present. Contestants, I'm going to give you a series of emojis, and I want you to translate them into sentences or what the text would actually mean. For variety's sake, I'm going to give you a choice of four.
Just choose one sequence and interpret away. Best 3 answers selected by our judges receive points!
