Once again, I’ll be missing trivia. That’ll be 3 weeks in a row. Bad Saltire! Before Thanksgiving, I was out of town. After Turkey Day, I’d just returned a few hours before the contest, and was too burned out to participate. This time, today is the 50th anniversary of KCTS, so I’ll be at the station for a combination party and pledge night. I’ll really try to be there next week. ---

Hmm. Unless **Saltire** is going, we’re going to be team Standing in a Corner. But what the heck, I’ve done it before. ---

Note to self: read all posts before following up. Note to team: prepare for a long night of standing. ---

I’ll be attending tonight, at long last. I think I’ll get there between 6:30 and 7:00 pm. ---

I am sick. Sniff sniff. Cough cough. I want to be in bed, and you don’t want to breathe my plaguey aura. See you next week. ---

I am not sick, but I do not plan on being there. I have a dentist’s appointment at 5:00. And not just a cleaning either - an extraction. Pray for me. ---

I’m not \*\*quite \*\* sick, but I’m getting there, and an evening of beer and smoky air, despite having so much to recommend it otherwise, wouldn’t be the tonic. Maybe \*\*Plaguey Aura \*\* should be the team name. See you next week. ---

It was nice to attend the contest again. It certainly was better than having a tooth pulled. We got 20 right, and Elvis won with 24 (out of 40). It was a difficult quiz. ---

Regular Monday bump for the differently-net-abled. I myself am feeling much better than I was last Tuesday. I no longer drool all over the place (I wipe my chin, now!). So I’m in for tomorrow. **Das Glasperlenspiel** was also making noises about showing up. Anyone else? ---

I believe I’ll be there. Hope we can get a good table for a good-sized group. ---

I’ll be there, and last I heard **inkysplotchy** was also planning on attending. We may want to field two teams again – so big table, yah. ---

_At least_ two teams…I’ll be accompanied by, well, could be zero, but more likely as many as three others: **shE. Thorp** and two newbies. ---

Yep, I’m in for the Christmas miracle edition of trivia, where every answer is indeed China, and Elvis is run over by a reindeer. ---

Just as a heads-up: I’m going to have to go home first, so we won’t be able to get there early to get a big table. Hopefully someone else will be able to grab one. ---

I’ll arrive around 7. \*\*shE. Thorp \*\* isn’t coming after all, but I’m still expecting the newbies. ---

Unfortunately, I’m not going to be there. Too much to do before Xmas at the end of the week. I’ll definitely be there next week, though. ---

Last trivia night of 2004. A chance to practice our drinking skills in preparation for New Year’s Eve. How can one turn that down? I’ll be there around 6:30 or 7:00. Who else?
