As far as kibbitzing by non-players, I think you should do it here, not via PM. There are plenty of non-players watching the action, I think. ---

Excellent choice, Red Team! **Name a profession that involves water** : 1. Plumber 2. Lifeguard 3. Firefighter 4. 5. Fisherman 6. Swimming/diving instructor (includes all coaches and teachers of water sports, like water polo, surfing, water aerobics, etc.) 7. 8. Ship captain (ocean liner) 9. 10.

Or are we not doing that now that you get the points?). ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] What the heck is the score? Does blue have ANY points? [/QUOTE] Yeah, we won the first two rounds, I think … the original scoring system was screwy, though, so I don’t know what the actual score is. I was waiting for **Idle Thoughts** to come back and do the math. ---
