Wow, good work.

I'm not sure how to feel about how much of my high score was due to my knowledge of pro wrestling and crappy comic strips, but there we are. My reckoning is coming in Round 3 (spoiler alert)
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 21:17 (five years ago)
now i wanna know the crappy comic strip questions

"Most comic strip characters never age. Notable exceptions include those in Frank King's Gasoline Alley, Gary Trudeau's Doonesbury, and the Patterson family in what strip written and drawn by Lynn Johnston from 1979 to 2008?"

ah, that would've been my moment to shine too.

Would've been 50/50 for me on the strips question because I can never remember if it's For Better Or Worse or For Better Or For Worse (I think it's the former).
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 21:34 (five years ago)
It's "For Better of For Worse", and "For Better or Worse" wasn't accepted which probably accounts for a lot of the low get rate.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 21:56 (five years ago)
Have you heard this one before? A LLama walks into a bar, the bartender says "Why the low get rate?"
― Hit It And Quit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 22:16 (five years ago)
made the cut!

So you made it past "I Can't Drive 255"? Congrats!

Are you guys all so good you won A rundles? Isn't that who's in this final?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 3 September 2020 01:03 (five years ago)
You only have to make top 3, which is good because I only barely snuck in at 3rd place in 1 of the 4 seasons.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 3 September 2020 01:16 (five years ago)
ahhh i get the rock star ref now. v cool
― maura, Thursday, 3 September 2020 11:54 (five years ago)
had william tell written in all morning, second guessed myself right before I clicked submit and changed my answer and lost the match because of it lmao
― unashamed and trash (Unctious), Thursday, 3 September 2020 15:40 (five years ago)
B-b-but did you make the cut?
― Hit It And Quit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 3 September 2020 15:48 (five years ago)
40th place, in honor of U2.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 3 September 2020 21:11 (five years ago)
Uno(s), dos, tres, cuarenta!

82nd overall - not moneying Candace Cameron and incorrectly moneying TWICE in round 3 killed me, as did round 3 in general. Nice work, Greg!
― the portentous pepper (govern yourself accordingly), Thursday, 3 September 2020 22:10 (five years ago)
Nice work, fellas! B-b-but what about the third man, Harry LLima, how did he do?

Not really a question specific to this thread, but has anyone been doing the Spelling Bee?
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 4 September 2020 05:05 (five years ago)
Not the one in the NYT?
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 06:20 (five years ago)
if it is, i have
― maura, Friday, 4 September 2020 09:02 (five years ago)
Same, I play it every day, and enough to have noticed its recent changes.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 19:23 (five years ago)
Squeaked out a win yesterday thanks to my middling theater score, which I think may have prompted my opponent to assign 3 for the very earnest question.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 21:21 (five years ago)
Meanwhile, I got 0 points for the hardest league-wide question that I ever got right.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 4 September 2020 21:32 (five years ago)
Thanks to my middling score, I knew that if *I* knew "earnest" everybody was gonna know.

It used to limit itself to two vowels (not counting y), now it has up to 3.It used to never have ED or ING among its letters.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Saturday, 5 September 2020 17:31 (five years ago)
Oh so many more words possible now?
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 September 2020 17:43 (five years ago)
So even harder to be Queen Bee?
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 September 2020 17:44 (five years ago)
Yes and probably yes (I only ever Queen when the genius level point total is < 100 points).
I haven't seen or reached 300 points yet, but 200 is much more common.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Saturday, 5 September 2020 17:51 (five years ago)
won 8(4) - 4(4) yesterday #defense
― mookieproof, Saturday, 5 September 2020 18:17 (five years ago)
I’ve got 88 points today so far, guess Queen Bee is 108, but I’ve run dry.
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 September 2020 19:08 (five years ago)
spelling bee yesterday wouldn't accept "cope" as an answer, despite using the middle letter.
I am getting absolutely crushed this LL season, and I miss my rookie rundle.
― unashamed and trash (Unctious), Saturday, 5 September 2020 21:00 (five years ago)
Yeah, that was a big issue.
― Quit It And Hit It Sideways (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 September 2020 21:13 (five years ago)
Spelling Bee talk probably makes more sense in the xwords puzzle thread.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Saturday, 5 September 2020 23:27 (five years ago)
I'm on a 3-match winning streak and am crawling away from the relegation zone! I thought the last match that I might've defended extremely poorly and although I narrowly eked out a win, thanks to being gifted 3 points for Venus.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Wednesday, 9 September 2020 18:48 (five years ago)
gonna be lucky if i can hold on in c tbh
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 9 September 2020 18:49 (five years ago)
got credit for aphrodite yesterday, which was probably undeserved
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 18:59 (five years ago)
Win streak at 4! Which is probably going to end today as I'm facing off against our rundle leader.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Thursday, 10 September 2020 18:31 (five years ago)
Streak ended as expected, but I had TWO chances to win and blew them both miserably. So any right now.
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Friday, 11 September 2020 15:14 (five years ago)
a player in my rundle has allowed just 3 UfPA in 16 matches
wtf
― mookieproof, Friday, 11 September 2020 15:22 (five years ago)
Some people take a lot of time on defense?Sometimes my defense gets on a hot streak but I really don't like to spend a lot of effort on it at this pont.
