<br>Just got back to my computer, and actually completely read your first message, Blir. My apologies for posting answers here, I should have read your entire posting (a dumb error on my part) That being said, there's no need for name calling--it was an innocent mistake. Again, my apologies.

Thanks dude! And no sweat...it's all for shits and giggles, even the ranting and name-calling.

[NuWaveRx]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the answers at the end of the contest--esp #25

Hey! That's me!

[ExRat]

Damn! I just got my results back from Bir. I was SO sure I recognized some of them and didn't even hesitate - and I was wrong! I was really surpised that there were quite a few that I should have known but was COMPLETELY off the mark.

I missed: #1, #5, #7, #12, #13, #22, and #25!

Man, I missed more than I thought I would! One of my misses especially pisses me off![:D]

[b]GAME UPDATE[/b]

With half a dozen answers in, the average is a healthy [b]29.2[/b] out of 53 possible. Would be higher without a certain outlier. This goes until this Friday July 1st 8pm. Come on, I see a lot of chat but not a lot of entries. There's huge stakes here. Honor, Prestige, endless lines of new wave honies and hunks waiting to service the winner!

[b]Please remember NOT to post the answers here. Thanks.[/b]

Am I the outlier? I didn't get them ALL wrong, Schwenko and Sean said I was correct - so that's at least 4 points! Maybe even 6 points if you count Marie3's admission.

Nope...I'm giving you a second chance to rub your eyes and resubmit. [:D]

BTW, two people have just one miss, but one of them is in the lead since they got the bonus - wow! Still room at the top though for some of you gurus out there. Average is now 30 points.

[b]GAME UPDATE[/b]

With little over a full day to go, we got in some healthy scores to boost the average to [b]31.5[/b] out of 53 possible. This goes until this Friday July 1st 8pm. If this is something that's been fun and there's a desire to do this again, you gotta let me know by submitting some answers.

[b]Please remember NOT to post the answers here. Thanks.[/b]

LAST CALL! Ends tonight at 8.

[b]The Results[/b]

We got 14 players - a good number for the first go-around but missing some of the vocal usuals who even posted to the thread but didn't play! BUT...we not only have a winner, we have further affirmation of who is the unequivocal guru of gurus and Master of Our Domain!

1st Place - MikeP with 53 - A Perfect Score! (insert Fritz's bow emoticon here)
2nd Place - Waukena with 51 - guessed Humphries instead of McCluskey - so close!
3rd Place - Cubby with 48 - he's always on the leader board, but missed the 5-pointer.
4th Place - Schwenko with 43 - I know he could've done better - boozing and carousing the nite before??
