Through August 19:

Fanny extends her lead some more! Is she making her move to break away from the pack? Wintergreen pulls up even with Annie for second place.

Rats!

I slipped from the Top 16 to the Top 17.

I demand more Colorado Qs.

Or winter either!

Sometimes I love my fellow voters.

Other times I want to move to New Zealand.

Fanny holds the lead, but Annie closes the gap some! Uly slides by wintergreen for third! Bob Juch hasn't been heard from again since he saw the Flowers and Trees, so he holds tight to his spot in the cellar!

Thanks to a wheelhouse day and a couple people going AWOL, I'm back in the Top 16!

Perfectly positioned for a big weekend move!

I hear that JBillyGirl was planning a set of "Colorado High Peaks" questions. :wink:

Through August 27:

Have our leaders hit the wall? Fanny fades back as uly dashes forward to share the lead with wintergreen! And keep an eye on AJ, who stays in fifth place but is now only four points behind our leaders! The rest of the pack are well back, but the unpredictability of JBillyGirl's final weekend QoD might still give them the opportunity for an upset.

Bob Juch is still safely in the cellar, since nobody is joining the race as a late entry without enough points to jump ahead of him.

Look at this! Our first through fifth place runners are lined up in a neat little row, exactly one point apart from each other! Will they have any energy left after this marathon to sprint to the weekend finish line?

w00t! I cheated just enough to get into first place. I've already forgotten how I did today. I may have to go back and edit my answers to ensure that I maintain my lead. Now just which Greek wrote comedies..........?

It'll help when I protest the game on the Judge Judy Show. It'll also look good when the umpires review it.

THE FINAL RESULTS:

Fanny drops out of the race, perhaps to ensure that she doesn't end up with QoD Meister duties on top of hosting this Timeline game I keep hearing about. And, with the final points in (but not counting the last minute humor points JBillyGirl awarded for the whole month of weekends)...

It's a tie! We have a tie!

Uly and wintergreen share the Gold Medals, along with the honor of hosting the September QoD, should they want to. Annie gets the Silver, one tiny little point behind them, with the Bronze going to last month's QoD Meister AJ. (I should note that AJ did not play at all on three weekday QoDs and one weekend QoD this month. That he could remain so close to the leaders despite that handicap is an accomplishment in itself!)

Congratulations to all! Please stand now for the playing of our national anthem, in an arrangement of our own devising, which definitely has no similarity whatsoever to anyone else's copyrighted arrangements, being played by our demographically undesirable concert orchestra, who are certain not instrument-synching to any recording made by some other orchestra...

Our top five maintain their order and spacing as they all run flat out towards the finish line. Now the last word will go to JBillyGirl's "Last Word" Weekend QoD! :)

Fanny drops out of the race, perhaps to ensure that she doesn't end up with QoD Meister duties on top of hosting this Timeline game I keep hearing about. And, with the final points in (but not counting the last minute humor points JBillyGirl awarded for the whole month of weekends)...

It's a tie! We have a tie!

Uly and wintergreen share the Gold Medals, along with the honor of hosting the September QoD, should they want to. Annie gets the Silver, one tiny little point behind them, with the Bronze going to last month's QoD Meister AJ. (I should note that AJ did not play at all on three weekday QoDs and one weekend QoD this month. That he could remain so close to the leaders despite that handicap is an accomplishment in itself!)
Well, if I'd known there was going to be medals and such......

Thanks again to both for the QOD, I enjoyed the format (both the Olympics and the tag team aspect).

I'm darned good and ready.

My thinking is that we should wait until October since Timeline is dominating September maybe we should hold off. What say thee wintergreen?
