Learned League

23rd in cancon!! my highest ml finish ever (and only my third finals)

definitely helped by the amount of cancon trivia i have written for my own quiz over the years, and definitely helped by living in the french zone of canada, which at least gave me a chance on those questions (scored nearly 100 points on a money i thought was fairly easy considering how much my friends who have grown up here have talked about it in the past)

Wow, congrats! I am in the World Cinema final, highly doubt I will do that well.

world cinema final was tooooooough

OTM

Greg did pretty well.

i made the world cinema final but didn't notice until today!

Was wondering.

i did very badly - only got two answers right and didn't money one of them because it was a lucky guess

Good luck everyone!

In the new season? Thanks!

There's a new pronouns section available!

the user name of a certain ilxor helped me out a lot yesterday lol

lol same

argh, didn't even occur to me

Me neither! In fact in another context someone mentioned the below show recently which led to my wrong answer:

i also wrote larva, even as i knew it was wrong

The cardinal rule is to not leave it blank so writing a known wrong answer, while extremely painful, is still the done thing.

Y'all need to read more Lacan* if LJ is your way into imago!

* Actually on't read Lacan.

getting absolutely crushed this season

a bit of bad luck, but mostly just not knowing the answers

The original is still the greatest though:

Don't know what that picture is doing there though.

This one less visually distracting:

The only way out is through!

a milk-bearing Uriah Heep!

My ego has taken a real bruising as I've gone 0-3 on Math questions this season. On the plus side, I'm still mid-table, even though there's 1 point separating me from the relegation zone (not factoring in tiebreakers).

My ego has…don’t quite know how to finish this sentence.

Enjoying working on my 1DS this weekend.

Silby and I did pretty well on Buster Keaton.

Now that I think of it, the first time I saw The General was at Silby's alma mater.

I've had some awful moneying this 1DS season -- off the top of my head, I've played at least 2 where I ended < 50%ile but could've finished as high as the 80th.

That said, congrats to Greg for winning one recently!

yeah nice bird knowledge!

If everything goes well with today's, I'll be in the Pop Culture Philosophy finals! Which is surprising to me, since I consider myself to be very bad at reading philosophy!

I will probably be a frustrating 3rd in my group sadly

I forgot to register for that one. Looked good.

Not doing great in the one I am in. Cross Town Traffic or whatever it is called.

Greg monied a bit better than I did and beat me on Bubblegum.

Halfway point and not only am I above 0.500 but I'm also in the top 10, which just means there's a lot more room for me to fall.

Yesterday was big beer day.

Not for me! (I missed thiamine.) In fact, I haven't scored a single 6/6 all season. If that holds, it would be the first season since LL63 in 2014 in which I didn't get at least one. Luckily, I've had plenty of 5/6 days and am in the middle of the pack as usual.

Well, my prediction is proving true, as I'm on a 6 game losing streak where half of the losses have been avoidable.

i've been doing better than usual this season, though i've been frustratingly stuck at fourth place for a while

I was in the 92nd percentile for the Urban Planning one-day, which sounds good until I tell you I was the librarian for the American Planning Association for six years.

I really lucked out and somehow made it into the Latinx finals.

Me too! I played all three MLs, and I would not have guessed that would be the one I'd do best in.

i wished i had joined the latinx and midwest ones, i wouldn't have done too badly! i somehow limped into the lgbt finals and got absolutely bodied though, like bottom 50

through 21 matches i have 101 CAA

the top TCA-scorer in my rundle has gotten 100 right

ffs

Not sure how it happened, but I'm sitting at the top of an A rundle for the first time ever this late in the season. I think maybe the league that I was moved into last season (along with Leee and NA) is a little less competitive? Anyway, I've probably jinxed it by mentioning it, but still crossing my fingers.

Rooting for you from the cheap seats in the middle of C, jaymc.

xp nice!
