Mrs. Santa?

3-What's the name of the Grinch's dog?

I think you started out with SF, me and etaoin. But when takinover had to split, you took over with Sliver and DK.

I think. I let you keep sitting next to me anyway. Because I'm sweet like that.

I didn't see it until after I posted, so I didn't go back to edit. I don't know for sure, but I figure it's something like "Where the is hell is my coat?"

I love the word ensconced! It's one of those words that sounds exactly like what it means. You get extra Fanny points for using it.

Happy Birthday!

The Hermies averaged 2 points, the Yukons 1 point. Therefore, with a bottom of the ninth (ok, fifth) comeback, The Hermies win, 10 to 8.67!

There's a bonus round, just for fun, for anyone interested!

Well-played, all! Hope you had fun!

I will give no answers, even though #5 MUST be Scrooge McDuck, because I'm largely clueless, and I must go wrap some prezzies, or else.

I concur with the wonderful job. Between incremental scoring, uneven team averaging and hacking his way through all the extracurriculars with a virtual machete, it was masterful.
