My typical 24th. If someone were to analyze my finishes, they would conclude that I try to finish between 20th and 30th.

Thanks Rebo, hope you and everyone have a Merry Christmas.

Ouch! I thought black wasn’t a color … Only I went “white” ? :mad:

I expected better for this too.

Good fun!

As long as we’re nitpicking, there is no single children’s book called “Harry Potter.”

And there was more than one way to interpret “pre-1990.”

The categories came from a game called [Hit or Miss](http://www.boardgames4us.com/gw-7103.html) and in addition to trying to come up with as many answers as you can in the allotted time - players also try to include answers they think no one else will have in case their roll of the die turns up a “Miss”. So for “something you do to look better”, the group I played with had such answers as “stand next to someone ugly” or “serve a lot of alcohol”.

That games sounds like fun. I could come up with a lot of out of the box answers. Thanks for the feud **anyrose**. It was fun.

Wow. I actually won one? Awesome! It was weird when I looked over the other answers, and people were actually agreeing with me.

So, yeah, thanks for the feud, **rosie**. (I hope it’s not gauche doing that outside the MMP)
