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.

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!

John Mayer McCheese (Leee), Thursday, 2 February 2023 19:58 (four months ago) link

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.

three weeks pass...

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.

Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 16 March 2023 11:09 (two months ago) link

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.

jaymc, Thursday, 16 March 2023 12:13 (two months ago) link

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

Shartreuse (Leee), Thursday, 16 March 2023 14:33 (two months ago) link

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.

Cashews Everything Around Me (Leee), Tuesday, 16 May 2023 16:47 (three weeks ago) link

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

jaymc, Tuesday, 16 May 2023 17:13 (three weeks ago) link

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
