Since my return from the tropics, I have spent hours in the basement, building my next magnum opus - and I am pleased to announce that the next Bricker Challenge will be posted here Friday, December 22, with a deadline of Monday, Christmas Day for answers. - Rick ---

No no no, Coldie, those are three minute mysteries. (Although, with Swiddles on winter break, and Flyp in a gov’t job, we should have PLENTY of time for those, too…) And WOOHOO on the next challenge…maybe I can win another case of beer! 🙂 ---

D’oh! OK, the Challenge is the Long-Ass List of Questions, right? I dig those too 😃 Are there gonna be any more Three Minute Mysteries as well, Rick? Because I dig those even more! ---

Dear Santa, I’ve been a really good boy this year. All I really want is more Three Minute Mysteries. That, and hookers. Thanks, Flyp ---

Bricker, you know I’m there! I hope it will be a little easier this time, because my brain will be addled by eggnog by the time the questions are posted. And let’s not let Shayna know about this, OK? I want to win for once. ---

_ **HOT DAMN!** _ > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arnold Winkelried \* > \*\*And let’s not let Shayna know about this, OK? I want to win for once. \*\* Heh. Arnold, you and Shayna were the first two people I thought of when I started my mental list of “who to beat.” Just one, I want to win. I came so close in several other contests. Bricker contests, Arnold contests, Singeldad contests… I’d love the beer too. I’d better fire up my research engines. Thank you Bricker! ---

I’m still smoldering from Flyp’s 1K+1 Scheherazade Classic. I’m welcoming the opportunity to participate in an actual Bricker Challenge (that is, unless y’all finish it before I get home from work on Friday. Then I’ll kill yez. I’ll kill yez all. 'Specially Democritus). ---
