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 :cry:

L'esprit de l'escalier: Remembering "Portsmouth" the second after hitting "submit."

Sigh.

Well, the last category of the SHC was extreme wheelhouse, so I appreciate that!

Thanks for a great event!

Kudos and thanks to everyone who coordinated the SHC, administered the scoring, and wrote questions!

Thanks especially for working film and Bible categories into the ToC!

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.
