Anyone Heard Rumours of a Timeline Game?

Me, neither.
Ha!
It's baaaaaaaaaack..............
Starting later today (yeah, it's Labour Day but rust never sleeps), it will run Monday through Friday for the month of September. I've kind of envisioned it like the NYT Crosswords. Starting out in ink while you spend five minutes in the can and getting progressively more difficult until by Friday you're searching the junk drawer for another pencil that still has an eraser and forget about the weekend! So, Friday's game will be a bit more involved and run through the weekend.
I've been informed by my mentor and Main Promo Wrangler, the lovely and talented Vandal, that Flock is responsible for originally bringing the Timeline concept to the board in the first place. So props to both of them!
I always like things nice and neat and tidy, with 5 questions per QOD and 10 questions per LS, so this time NO TIDINESS! You'll have no idea whether any particular day will have 1 question or 33. Why will you have no idea? Because neither do I. Ha!
Okay, am I forgetting anything? Oh, yeah, we have to have rules, huh? Because without rules how can we quantify anything?
1. Don't cheat.
2. Each game will be open until I post the next day's game or noon, whichever comes first.
3. Dogs and squirrels are welcome to play. Giant Indonesian Rats and gerbils, not so much.
4. Due to the nature of the game, I think LookingforHumourPoints is kind of screwed this month, as there won't be much to work with. Sorry, Butch. Go ahead, prove me wrong!
5. kayrharris must play every day or else I will cry and pout and take it out on everybody else. I will not punish Private BoB, I will punish all of you!
Look, a nice and tidy 5 rules. YAY!!!!11
