What time is it? Game time.

Calling it after 47 entries so this doesn’t drag on longer than the ending of Mr. Holland’s Opus. I assume everyone got the link to being very vaguely St. Patrickian. If not, it was pretty much driven by links I could think of to the color green because there are only so many questions you can ask about 4 leaf clovers. Questions 1 and 10 came from green vegetables. Question 2 was driven by the greens on a golf course. Question 3 came from the color of money (and the slang greenbacks). Question 4 came from the untested definition of green. Question 5 is obvious. Question 6 came from the Green Party, though not necessarily because of Nader. Question 7 is due to Kermit’s “It’s not easy being green” song. 8 came to me because of the Celtics clover insignia. And 9 was driven by having some sort of environmentally linked question.

With 47 entries, each duplicated answer is worth 2.13 points. Question 4 had 24 different answers. Question 6 had 4, which is 2 more than I was expecting.

Today, the trumpets blare for Dolores Reborn. Congratulations. I look forward to the next feud in which I outright cheat so I can win my own feud rather than continually sitting in the middle of the pack. Only one penalty and that went to NDP.

Crap

Astros 0 for in the World Series and Bagwell 0 for in the feud. Ah, consistency.

65

Why? What did I do wrong?

66

The rules, man. The rules.

67

Which one did I violate? Leaving the questions in my post (I noticed others did it too)? Having my answers in green text? The “bacon bits/Bacos” answer?

68

C. Post your answers like this:

  1. Answer
  2. Answer, etc
    Do not repeat the questions, do not add extraneous fluff amongst your answers.

The only repeats of questions occured prior to the 10 line set of answers so those didn’t cause an issue in the copy/paste for me.

69

Damn. I would’ve done better if I weren’t from Philly.

Friggin’ Iggles.

70

Hey - Up in the top thirty.

71

The Tennessee Vols are a professional team, aren’t they? You don’t think those guys go to classes for free, do you? Sure, their color is neon orange and not green, but orange is a color on Ireland’s flag, so see, it all comes together. :smiley:
Other than that, I’ve got nothing.

72

I guess I shouldn’t complain about a top ten finish, but I really thought I had a top three that time. Damn you, croutons!

73

Woo-hoo!

: does happy dance ::

74

Top 5! The highest score I’ve had yet. Woot!
