Not really. It is just I thought that an odd name, so it stuck with all the other useless info

Well, I am finished for the month. I am presently 4th place with 36,891 points.

I suspect that Mr. Kelley is banking up questions and will pass me though.

And I am done, now just to wait to see how many push ahead of me to knock me out of the top 25.

But I consider myself really lucky to have been that high anyhow!

Well done. You got me by slightly more than one question for the month. Stupid composers. That's what cost me yesterday. Oh, well. I was out of the running for the top spot anyway.

I did manage to scramble up into 7th at the moment. I, too, anticipate "some" to go whizzing past at the last moment.

On to October!

Forgettable month for me as I will miss making the front page by the end of the lunch hour. At least I stayed above 1000 points per day.

I hadn't thought of that but 1000 points per day is a good benchmark.

I'm already down to #57. I was hoping for a first page finish this month.

I have moved into 877th in the all-time rankings. Been using my showdown tokens. And wagering my Wager Tokens almost everyday.

I missed two questions during the month, but I suspect that if I had a faster connection, I might have a few more points.

I was really shooting for the top ten BBs but alas just fell short. You guys were just too tough. Congrats to those who did finish in the top ten, and to all on the list!

I do believe that my September Sploofus ranking matches my BB Ranking spot. If not, it's damn close. I'd like to say that I tried to this but, alas, it happened because on today's question I had picked the right answer but, in a fit of uncertainty, I changed it. I'm just glad this isn't for money!

gsabc · #114 Post by **gsabc** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 6:09 pm

I won't be top ten BBs, but I did manage to get #153 overall after answering today's question correctly. I'll take it.

christie1111 · #115 Post by **christie1111** » Tue Sep 30, 2008 6:42 pm

Since this is a first for me, will everything reset tomorrow?

I fell out of the top 25on Sploofus, as expected, but think I am still #10 of the BBs, which is really surprising to me.

I'll have to make a note in the calendar if it is true.

The TQOTD rankings will start over in the morning.
