I know! I chose that as a way of saying, I give up and just don't care anymore. My clever choices sheeped and my defeated choices singled. But when I try to make defeated-style choices... they sheep. I hate this game. Every time. I don't know why I agreed to come out of retirement.

Finally, I offered a -4 point bonus to anybody who submitted 11 correct answers. These go to:

I have it. I'm so sorry about all the corrections this time. I got a lot busier at work than I expected to be, not that this should be an excuse,
