I kind of resent the idea that I might have to pay closer attention to Trump in case of another hydroxychloroquine-type question.

Not worth it tbh

I GOT EVERY QUESTION WRONG YESTERDAY FFFFFFFFFFFFFU.

Why are people so smart when they play against me

PS I even lost by a point.

You mean your opponent got one point?

Yes.

When are the results for the midseason classic usually posted?

shouldn't be much longer! usually a few hours after it closes.

up now!

Hah there it is. Don't know why I was so anxious to see myself in the 63rd percentile.

Just noticed that I came in 6th in my rundle for the midseason -- so close to repping (which would've been accomplished with optimized moneying)!

I'm inordinately proud of myself for deducing The Bodyguard yesterday.

Good on you! I was trying to go through Alan Silvestri scores in my head and it just would not come to me, and of course specifying the songwriters rather than the performers planted an obvious land mine.

a) there are really only two possible nick lowe songs
b) i picked the wrong one
c) neither would have helped me anyway

ashford and simpson and dolly parton seemed like the giveaways to me

yeah i guessed it based solely on dolly parton

i wasn't sure it was right but it was the only logical choice that came to mind

Wonder if people got credit if they put My Bodyguard.

And glad I got credit for writing Davies for Q5.

I put Farraday for Q5 knowing darned well it was wrong.

At first, for some reason, I wanted to put Colette for Q1 until I remembered it wasn't a pseudonym. But then I got it right.

I ended up putting the MCWA for that one.

lol, i also put Farraday knowing it was wrong! It's weird how our brains work!

Yeah, Dolly was the only person in the Bodyguard question that I recognized.

Apparently Davy was an assistant to Faraday (sez the person who answered "pilot").

I cannot *believe* I got Q3, 5 and 6 right today but muffed a layup like Q1.

it was my understanding that all noteworthy scottish british inventions of the 18th and 19th centuries were made by either watt or macadam

Davy was Cornish, apparently.

Also glad I didn't accidentally put Humphrey Ocean.

Apparently Davy was an assistant to Faraday (sez the person who answered "pilot").

Wow, I won yesterday's match 7-0. I think that's my first perfect defensive scoring. Pretty amazing considering I only answered three questions, but I got all three correct (3, 5 and 6).

i finally got my first 9(6) of the season yesterday

Cool. Are you deliberately shying away from using llama lingo for that?

i don't remember the llama lingo tbh.

Drinking the beer.

hmm

I have never heard of William Wegman and assigned 3 points, cost me the match.

tbh you should feel a certain pride in that

never learn who anne geddes is either

I have never heard of William Wegman and assigned 3 points, cost me the match.

I figured the W was important and the only W-breed I could think of was "wiener dog", so I guess dachschund.

In response to the Valorant question, my ex texted me, "Glad I listened when you talked about video games"

never learn who anne geddes is either

Against all advice I googled. I should've listened to you.

I usually have a couple of 9(6) days per season, but I actually had a streak of five straight from MD11-MD15. Definitely got lucky on a few questions. It ended on Friday when I went 1(2). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

big 6(3)-5(4) win yesterday

After having the highest CAA among the top 10, I'm facing only one opponent with a win % over 0.500 in this last week. Top 3 is out of the question (third place is 11 points ahead of me), but after being borderline C/D all season, my spot in the C Rundle for next season should be reasonably assured.

i'll be joining you in c shortly; i'd need to win out to get out of the basement in B and that ain't happening.

three forfeits this season! where's my head at.

currently in fifth but i don't think i got it done today

friend who invited me is in first, but at least i beat him this season

i'll be joining you in c shortly; i'd need to win out to get out of the basement in B and that ain't happening.

Are you in Keystone?

Horizon

i have a question.
