Ooooohhh someone’s going to get banned!
Many apologies, but I’m feeling under the weather, at the moment, and won’t be able to collate this thread’s answers tonight. I’m afraid that they’ll be postponed until tomorrow afternoon.
My apologies, once again.

No, I think it’s more likely The Monster’s revenge after doing some babysitting earlier this week.
But that doesn’t have anything to do with travel…

Are you ok, Otakuloki?
Hope you’re feeling better! And can post scores!
Egads, this has been a bad week.
Stomach bug for about three days starting Friday. So, silly little me, I decide that for the first meal I’d felt up for since I started spring cleaning on my GI tract, I’d use the canned ravioli from Aldi’s a friend gave me for babysitting.
I forgot - Aldi’s and I have a love-hate relationship. I love the price, and in general their cheaper meat products make my gout flare up like you wouldn’t believe. I hadn’t been able to sit, for the pain, since then. Getting to the bathroom was a special slice of Hell.
I’m limping better, now. And I can actually sit down long enough to score this silly thing tonight.
Again, my apologies to all involved.
No problem, get **Mullinator’**s tool to help you with the scoring.

Congrats to The Merchandise, this round’s winner at 544 points. (Maybe next time, Happy Lendervedder)
Woah! 98? Ninety freaking eight?
I think it’s time to hang up my towel.
Top ten! First time ever! I knew that unrealized wanderlust would serve me at some point.
I think it’s time I go get a passport.
Yay! 5th. Working my way back up again.
Damn. I dithered between “ID” and “money” for what you need most, compromised on “wallet” – scored zero.
Top ten is good!
