As the final day before the austerity of the Lenten fast, Shrove Tuesday also has many customs pertaining to food. Pancakes are traditional in a number of European countries because eggs, sugar, and fat, commonly forbidden during the Lenten fast, are used up so they will not go to waste; the day is known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday in Ireland and in many Commonwealth countries.

ah, this jew did not know about strange pancake traditions

same. seemed like "indulgence" was a slam dunk to me.

yeah i answered indulgence knowing that it was likely wrong

Had no idea here, thought maybe there was some kind of Catholic doctrine of absolution called "syrupy"

Haven't checked yet, but I hope you all got RHINOCEROS, which has a tie-in with a recent ILX0r 1DS.

I'll bite: what's the tie-in? (I got it wrong.)

Zero Mostel was in the film of Rhinoceros- with Gene Wilder!

lol I had a feeling that I'd be walking into that one.

horn first.
9(5) yesterday, went with mimosa instead of bellini.
back down to earth today.

Midseason classic is upon us.

so MODES

yeah, i went "dominant"

Got credit for "diatonic"!

In a long discussion about that elsewhere.

My contention is that the question was insufficiently pinned.

if you have heard of "modes" and know what some of them are called you would always just write "modes" there idk

Indeed

ive heard of modes but didn't remember the word so i was like "lydian scale, mixolydian scale, they aren't chromatic so they must be diatonic" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

still lost

i know shit about music theory but happened to read a sci-fi-ish book that mentioned the mixolydian mode in april

highlight of my season is that out of nowhere i pulled 'kirov' out of my ass to correctly answer our (thus far) hardest question

Anyone else forget to submit?

No, I don’t think so

currently leading my league for the Sandra (defense) with five to go

probably my best shot at a 'trophy' however lame

(at least it's better than the most-common-wrong-answer one)

Happy Bloomsday!

Happy Bloomsday! Which I'm celebrating from the bottom of B!

Hah, you and me both.

I gooseegged Tuesday for i think the first time?

the person leading the whole thing this season has gotten 128 right and 4 wrong

is it petty of me to be skeptical

I aced my first match in two seasons, and finally caught a break as my opponent yesterday is Irish (and missed an older NWSL question too) but got the others right. Still firmly ensconced in relegation though.

Downright dismissive? You have a minor risk of being wrong. Skeptical? I would say hell no that is not petty. I haven't checked who you're talking about, but that better be a major star in the game (or sensational new discovery).

B-b-but isn't TAI usually pretty good at rooting out problematic players?

Sigh etc; maybe let bullshit do what bullshit be or maybe vice versa or not I dunno; if you have a physical spring cleverly inserted in your step you may not know that the actual world high jump record is FAR below your online backyard 2:58 metres -- others may be aware of this though.

Found the player mentioned (or at least someone with same TCA), and it appears to be only his second season. A bit early for any rooting out, I suppose, even if warranted (which, again, we do not know for a fact).

Haven't played LL for ages, but I usually hear rumblings about suspicious behaviour from others and this season hasn't seen any gossip reach my radar. Is this one UK or US based?

US.

Ta.

another solidly middle of the road C season for me. average among the obsessives, that's me.

Having one of those seasons where I'm constantly struggling to stay above the relegation zone. Looks like it'll be down to the final Match Day.

I've already lost that struggle.

But I guess I can see a way that I could survive.

I've clinched my spot in C for next season again. I'm honestly a little relieved, since the competition in B for me leaves almost no room for error. I can barely imagine what A is like.

I have had a spell or two in A and... it wasn't pleasant.

I have a below-par Qpct for my A rundle but I tend to claim enough match wins and 9(6)s per season to finish somewhere in the third quartile, so long as I don’t forfeit.

another solidly middle of the road C season for me. average among the obsessives, that's me.

my A rundle appears to be among the very easiest around, which is fine with me

My B rundle is 35-32-32-32-31-31-30 at the top, promotion placings bolded, my points italicized, so I appear to have an outside chance of the privilege of spending the next season in relegation agony rather than promotion hopefulness.

Heh, I swear my drunken 2.58 m high-jump simile of two days ago was written without knowledge of this: Rich guy beats Vishy Anand in chess game, latter takes it well; eyebrows in chess community are raised; rich guy is found to have cheated, rich guy then (but not before) pretty much tweets OF COURSE i cheated: It is ridiculous that so many are thinking that I really beat Vishy sir in a chess game, that is almost like me waking up and winning a 100mt race with Usain Bolt.

is it petty of me to be skeptical

absolutely not, and i assure you that many other people have noticed this dude; i sure can't wait to see what he puts up in the LLRC

LLRC?
