Hey **Twisty** , don’t shortchange me here. My 2nd round entries are near the top of this thread. Also, I have myself at 18 points after round 1, but I’ll double check and see if my math is wrong. ---

My Apologies Mullinator. You did indeed post scores. I have you down as having now scored 21 points. So you may slot yourself in behind Kabbes, but infront of OwlStretchingTime. So to speak. ---

Indeed, I am still at err. You did have 18 points, due to a slip of my fingers. you are currently on 24 points, which leaves you… clear in third place. ---
