Wow, that is all due to the banana-ettes. I certainly didn't do much.

We get 5 each? How cool!

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

Oh sure, why not honor the knuckleheads who have poor grammar and vocabulary yet STILL manage to get paid, albeit abysmally, to write?

As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

The offended remind me of thieves. They take offense when it's not given.

How long do I get to keep the cool trophy dude?


Oh, I'll be a gracious winner. I'm thankful I had smart people on my team because I was their deadweight. But the trophy dude is way cool

The trophy is WAY cool and we wouldn't have it if George hadn't reminded me I was supposed to play. It's been nuts around here for over a week and not much sign of letting up.

Hey, not that it would have mattered, but I finally went back and looked at the quizzes. The final two questions of the lit quiz didn't load when I took it. I was so certain I had gotten all the questions I answered right, I couldn't figure out why my score was what it was--it's 'cause I didn't get the final two questions. Whew!

We won't even talk about the math one--that all did load, but man, it was Greek to me.
