Alright, it'll be up soon!
Sounds good.

By the way, did people get the connection in this round?
Was it that Beauty and the Beast was the first Disney princess movie after The Little Mermaid (Ariel)? Or something else?
Something else... it doesn't have anything to do with Ariel the mermaid.

Nothing to do with Angela Lansbury either. (This may or may not be easier for Americans to guess than Brits.)

Tempest in a Teapot was the name of the local Diplomacy tournament that the Potomac Tea and Knife Society put on in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. Now that the club us up and running again the tournament may come back too. Funnily enough, I don't think that I knew the meaning of the phrase!
