It's a sad statement about my knowledge base when I know more about Charlie's Angels casting than Dickens novels. No shame, only points -- right?

I see that I got 59 pts on day 3 instead of my expected 75, and that this is because I made a typo that I didn't catch with my poor vision and proofreading skills. I realize that this is entirely my fault, that the instructions specifically require exact spelling, and that I was never going to win the whole shebang anyway, but this just pisses me off. At myself, at the world in general, and at words with three vowels in a row, two of which are the same.
In my heart, I will always have three 75-point days in a row in the SHC TOC.

Well, no wonder I could only name two of the three credit reporting agencies: I really only named one (the easy one) and smushed the names of the other two together. Oops.

That feeling when you take a class on the Japanese Economic System and then can't pull Nikkei

Sigh.

Well, the last category of the SHC was extreme wheelhouse, so I appreciate that!
Thanks for a great event!

My many thanks also. It's a beautiful thing to see come around every summer, and I know that it involves a lot of work and dedication.

Thank you rjaguar3 for doing this, and I'm sorry I hadn't played the last four days until now. I've been having to work a whole bunch of ridiculous hours the last week filling in for a few people who spontaneously fell seriously ill, including on Saturday and Sunday, and I've just been really exhausted.

Thanks for yet another great SHC, rjaguar. I really appreciate that we have this for the long, dark teatime of the soul that is the Summer hiatus. Gratz to all the TOC players for a great finish.
