BTW- **Worm** , the pace of this game has been great! Having all the statements ahead of time was a great idea!

Yup, with two to go we go to the next statement.

\*\*Mahalot \*\*steps up to bat - and from the look of it, it sure seems to be a green one.

**Never have I ever worked or attended school on my birthday.**

**No, I don’t think any of my former bosses or teachers would’ve appreciated that excuse** 😉

How have you managed to avoid it?

Yeah, I’ve worked and attended school on the anniversary of my birthday. I mean, technically, on my birth day, no, I didn’t work or attend school.

Summer birthday, Lifeguard squid, grad student squid, too.

Actually, my PhD adviser and I had the same birthday, so we’d party together in the lab!

My birthday is in the summer, by the way, so I never went to school on my birthday, including college.

Oh, and I teach, so that has held true.

Your wish is my command! One [squidsheet](http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pdvHjMZSDCGFCQODnHv-1MQ), updated and nice.

Just remember. You can go into negatives, but as far as you end the round above zero, you’re on for the third round.

**Mahaloth** - being born in autumn, I just did not think of that possibility :smack:

Sheesh, people, some of us work away from computers all day! Can’t believe I’m behind by two questions already!

**I haven’t used a sex toy in the past 20 hours. Is that too much information?**

**March babies rarely get their birthdays off unless they are my coworker who REFUSES to work on her birthday…I show up to get pressies!**

**Mahaloth** , how did you pull off a lifetime of birthday slacking?

My birthday is right before Christmas, so I’ve never attended school on it. However, I have worked on my birthday.

Going to school, or toiling away without fail every Oct. 10.

Unless it falls on the weekend, I guess!

Well, no, but you were involved in some labor that day.

I, too, have both worked and schooled on the anniversary of my nativity.

The squids are fairly flying, so far this round.

Google Docs is really teasing me, so no updated squidsheet.

But I can at least hand out the next statement, this one from **Chronos** :

**Never have I ever owned a motor vehicle.**

**Yup - I own a stupid Opel, which I’m really trying to sell in a complete buyers market… yay!**

And come tomorrow I’ll be afk until late Saturday, since I’m going to a family function (confirmation) up in north Iceland. I hope you won’t be too sad that you won’t be able to answer any new statements until then ☹

I have owned several cars, and love my current 2008 Saturn Aura SE.
