Mark says thanks for a fun mix of questions and congratulations to the winners. Mark can see the corners are nice and sharp on his prize and it is centered well. Please tell Mark there is no bubblegum stain on the back of the card.

These were great questions. And now I have an urge to find old Eight Is Enough eps on YouTube and revive my crush on Laurie Walters. Thanks for a fun TD!

Well played, Kirk and Randy!

And thanks for the game, Mr. Kid! And the poster too, although I would have appreciated the gift more had you given it to me *before* the quiz started. :)

Great game! A couple wrong answers killed me- dodecagon instead of dodecahedron was just plain dumb. Congrats to Kirk for the win!

I could've named a bunch of these, but switched my answer to go for one I thought was more obscure. A little too obscure, apparently!

Thanks for a good TD. I did better than I thought I would, except for that London landmark question.
