You have let me grab the Bored lead on TQOTD, with a 10 point lead on JBG. I enjoy it while it lasts.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Yeah, but none of us are even in the top 20 - so far. :(

When it takes you four days to finally answer a question right in the month, you're not gonna end up on any leaderboards...... :(

You are following my strategy of beginning the month badly so that you may have the psychological reward of climbing in the standings thereafter.

My times haven't been great this month, but my accuracy has been great.

I'm 2 for 4 so far this month.

Way, way, way down in the standings.

3/4 so far, but slow connection costing points on one. Second-guessed myself (again!) on the missed question. In the top 1000 but well down the list.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Ditto. Yesterday's question was so long and convoluted it took me a good 10 seconds to figure out what they were asking. And I have also been plagued by slow net connections.

I was somewhere in the 200's this morning (3/4). I expect to have gone down somewhat since then.

Yep, 347 (as gobobbygo)

Sounds like I am in good company.

I'm 4/4, but all the questions have been 3-4 liners, costing me time in reading them. I've been in the top 50 every day after answering, but by the next morning, I'm in the 300s.

I answered with 0.51 seconds to spare today!

The questions was what was an album by the group A Tribe Called Quest. I'd never even heard of them.

LOL at the current Where the Heck Am I? (1:30PM EDT)! One tile is exposed in the upper left corner. Showing blue sky. And nothing else.

Anyone care to take a guess? :D

Based on current circumstances, and previous experiences, it would have to be right outside my office.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

What? I thought all that group's members were your relatives.
