Seriously – since I created such an out-there list that y’all only got about half of it, I thought I’d outworn my welcome. I’ve got an idea for another topic, with a shorter list – will work on the list and see if this groundswell continues to build. ---

Good morning, all. Nope, not the toss-up – just some housekeeping/logistics before we start. (And, phooey, I have to do a couple of work things before we do.) I never did exactly figure out the original **Idle Thoughts** scoring system, so I say we count his two rounds as practice, and start with the revised scoring in the third round, the one we just played. The scoring system we have agreed to is: 1 point for each correct answer; if the the team playing gets three strikes and the other team successfully steals, that other team gets all the points accrued by the first team plus 1 point for their correct answer that steals. In round 1, Blue got 13 right before striking out, and then Red successfully stole with a 14th right answer. \*\* Current score: Red 14, Blue 0\*\* As I said a few posts up, I came up with a few, well, twicky answers to the next one. I’m happy to not include them in the main list – but it doesn’t seem right to have it count as a strike if someone _does_ come up with them.Thus, I’d like to propose the following: The main list will include 18-20 answers (I want to take another look at it), and then my bizarro answers will be on a “bonus list.” If you guess something that’s on the bonus list, you get **2 points** – but if no one guesses them, the failure to do so won’t affect the main play of the round. Does that seem like fun, or should I just totally scrap the bizarro list? ---
