Oh, Vernon.  You are soooooo the opposite of a loser!

Happy New Year to all on the West Coast!

And thank you for not listing us losers who never make the list but love the game and keep on playing!!!

So, yay, I'm excited to have the top score this month.  Oddly, the last time I had the top score was LAST December.  Maybe this is just my month...

Dana - even so, it didn't affect your final points terribly much in the end last year.  :)

I just want to know how you guys answer all the questions so fast. I always seem to have the longest time on the scoreboard.   :(

1.  Get a scrolling mouse.

2.  Never read the entire question.  It takes up too much time.  Look for keywords and phrases, and make your best guess from those.

2) I'll try that! We'll see if I can improve my time.

Yay woohoo it's February! That means we have more winners!

30 people played in January, that's awesome.  More trivia players than we'd seen since *June*.  Very excited here.

And the top ten were...

Quote
30 players played during the month.
1. scott (299 points, 6 wins)
2. killerdana (284 points, 1 wins)
3. ruthny (280 points, 5 wins)
4. blantonrk (275 points, 0 wins)
5. amy_francis (271 points, 1 wins)
6. rvhead (267 points, 1 wins)
7. Lizzie (265 points, 1 wins)
8. ScooterSM (259 points, 4 wins)
9. Thespi620 (245 points, 3 wins)
10. kiwitechgirl (243 points, 3 wins)

Alright.  New year, we're going to start from the top again.  Scott will get the topic pick.  In general this year the topic picks will go to the highest ranking winner from the previous month who *has not* picked thus far in 2009.

I won't miss the Theatre trivia.  It's amazing to me that a group of extremely intelligent, well-trained theatre professionals (and amateurs) often manage to have a high score of 4 on that category.

Apparently I took 6827 seconds to complete today's quiz.  I'm not quite sure how that happened - fairly certain that it didn't take me nearly two hours to get through it....
