I know I’m usually in the bottom 1/3 but I’m wondering when this will be scored so I can see just how badly I did.

Bet I did worst than you. I looked at my answers after I submitted and thought of how I SHOULD have answered. Sun-Dried? Really? I could have put Shine, Spot, Screen, etc. but I put “dried”? Similar story for the other 9.

Meh, after I read the rules and realized we were just supposed to do the added word and not the full word/phrase in at least two cases I edited out the new word and left in the word we were given, so I am sure I am at or very near the bottom.

:dubious:  
well, obviously, if you notice the “5.” in front of it, ( :smack: ) when **Rebo** copied the info in to the post, she did not notice that little transposition of an item that belonged to “Paper \_\_\_\_\_\_”

I just scanned the thread and didn’t see anyone who listed “airplane” for #4. I think those responses were all for #5 “paper \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_”. Looks like a scoring mishap.

Boo Hiss, Spoil Sport.

that is not nearly as fun to mock as “Airplane Potato”

Look how much ribbing Dan Quayle got for misspelling “potatoes.”
