Hooray, hooray, I'm finally an original helpful swinging librarian, even if I'm not such a smart alec as Marvin (but then I knew that anyway ![[Biased]](wink.gif) ) ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
I'm glad it's not me who has to choose between the two finalists - what fantastic summaries! I'm well impressed. A toast to you both (with real butter and bramble jam).

Miss you, Erin.

Well, there's a turn up for the books!
Very well done Hazey - looks as if you were right after all! You were a very good competitor.

Well, um, I didn't have a speech prepared or anything as I wasn't really expecting to win.
I guess I'd like to thank everyone really. Especially Quizmaster for organising everything, and Hazey Jane, MrSponge2U and all the other competitors for making it so difficult for me. Oh, and Smudgie for being so helpful - I kept using your sig to find the MadTour boards right up until yesterday. Even if you did cheat in Round 14. Of course, I probably ought to thank my parents as well, and God, I always ought to thank God. All of us should really.
I guess that's probably about everything I have to say, except that I'm sure there are lots of people out there who deserve it a lot more than I do, especially Hazey, Smudgie and all those people who didn't even bother entering because they had an idea of how much time it was going to take.

In tribute of the Quiz, QM, the Champion, and with sincere apologies to Rudyard Kipling:
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and leaving at round two,
If you can trust your posts when Shipmates doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
For Quizzy to turn up and start a round
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
Just call to Hell and let rumours abound!
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master,
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Smudgie and Chorister
And treat those two tough challengers the same;
If you can bear to hear the post you’ve written
Twisted in judgement on the Ship of Fools,
Or watch the things you gave your day to, broken,
Because you once forgot to read the rules:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And not lose all by gambling with the stocks,
If you can stay in for a worthy innings
And keep your boat protected at the docks;
If you can force your brain and nerve and sinew
To serve you when your will to play has gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the force which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk in rhyme, sonnet and haiku,
Or compose sermons, limericks and such,
If neither flags, nor nations do confound you;
And you don’t find mathematics all too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minutes
With four months worth of silliness and fun,
Yours is the Ship and everything that's in it,
And, what’s more, you’ll be the quiz champion my son!

kudos to Hazey and Custard.
I am glad that the two of you took gold (way to go Custard) and silver (I was right there rooting for you ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ).
Thank God I did not have to participate over the final several rounds. It was great fun participating when I felt like it.
Great job Quizmaster. ![[Axe murder]](graemlins/lovedrops.gif) for future quizes.

Congratulations Custard.
I'll keep this thread open for a few more days, then will close it. Don't worry - I will warn people before deleting it and will save a copy myself to my hard drive.
It has been a good long quiz.

WooHoo Custard. and Hazey Jane! Great job, both of you...and to MrSponge2U, well done!
Many, many thanks to dear QM for hosting another outstanding KOQuiz. It was great fun! (I'm looking forward to the next one!)
A short note about the last KOQ for those who were asking, it was over two years ago, as that was when we had teams. I was on the wonderful JediDragon team, and was able to meet my teammate Welsh Dragon at the International Meet in Colorado June 2003... after the quiz was over. (I have to use referrence points like that for everything...my old, tired brain.) ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Yes, your thread being one of them!
Is QuizMaster going to come along and close proceedings perhaps? Give us some sage words before we give the quiz a rest for the year?
Come on QM - how was it for you?
