Is this team oriented as usual? I'm watching the Nuggets and doing QOD stuff, so I wouldn't want to drag down the team because I'm easily distracted. Ha!

Distractions are a plus. I'm distracted by my tea water cooking in the microzapper, my doggie searching for crumbs, and the crumbs manufacturer in the form of almond toffee sitting on the table. That stuff should be illegal.

There are 5 rounds. Since I am terrible at self-editing, there are more than the usual 2 questions per round. Total points available will be 'splained in each round. None of the questions are gender specific tonight.

This is my first time, be gentle. Peace on Earth, Good will toward the meister, dontcha know.

YAY! I'm done with scoring for now, so my QOD posts won't be cluttering up the play. Just proofing (and re-proofing and re-proofing) my weekend questions. I think you'll like tomorrows. I'm just saying.

This is the kind of day on which I show how little I know, when I don't have the advantage of writing the questions.

You rock, T-bone!

Wel, we'll get underway. If anyone else shows up, we'll add them in. For now, I chose teams by alternating the picks by order of the post to plays:

The Hermies: Sprots, Etaoin, Fantine

The Yukon Corneliuses: Silver and DK and TKO.

First q coming up

We'll take the average score for each team to make it fair.

So it's Silver and Gold? Ha! I will be singing that all night now, thank you.
