That should have been a good time today but an internet glitch ruined it.
I'll find out how bad it is tomorrow morning.

Bl**dy Ariston was first to play today so I missed getting the top of the leaderboard until tomorrow morning when I log in again. I am considering what affliction is appropriate...

The Goo Goo Dolls was an 1980s American rock band. I didn't remember until afterwards, either.

I have never gotten a question concerning the capital letters referring to origin or something-or-other in the Torah right. Which proves I am just as smart (or ignorant) as the Holy Guessmeister.

How did I get first (for a short while) with only 9 right and 63 seconds? By the way the guessometer is on fire today, most of those were guesses.
