Final Standings coming up Thank God, I had all of the winners lined up when you asked a sneeky question about the LOSERS!! (WITH OTHER QUANILIFATIONS) -- THAT SENT ME BACK TO THE OPENING GATES TO RE-FIGURE.

I've read a lot of these books; you'd think I would be able to read the Bonus Round instructions correctly. But I did get my two BR points!  |

But before the Commentary comes the theme song that obviously inspired the Players:

Really a struggle to stay with this, and bonus never my strong suit. Still fun to play but I have to content myself with what I can scoop up early.
Thanks for keeping these going. The work you put into creating new contests , not to mention scoring and writing the best parodies this side of Gilbert and Sullivan, all spectacular.
Congrats to all the players

Great game--I'm grateful that it kept me in the dark for a few hours yesterday, away from all the news reports.

Thanks QM for a game that was both fun and frustrating. Thanks to all my combatants for the great sportsmanship that keeps these games coming! Congratulations to Bella! I found these bookends that could come handy for us who slept through the literary lessons, and needs to read more.  |

A belated thank you for this wonderful Game, Matt. I love when you weave literature into the proceedings. I started strong with a dazzling collection of Halfers but then foolishly turned the TV on and got caught up in a horror film named THE NEWS. I won’t make that mistake again. Never stray away from the Garth Game.  The Horror. The Horror. - Joseph Conrad (I think.) |
