The Thursday Quiz: Bye-Week

The Thursday Quiz has a lot to celebrate! Saturday, for instance, is its first anniversary! Plus, today is the first day of the COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON!!! ...which, per last year's spectacular lack of reader interest, I will not be talking about this year. However, we should at least give the great sport a moment of dignified contemplation:





Right, where were we? Oh, right -- the Thursday Quiz is taking the week off; it will be back next Thursday to start off the Sixth Season.

Congratulations

...are in order to the Fifth Season Champions, who include, but are not limited to:

gs49 -- Five stars, two of 'em Gold ones!!

Phineas -- Four stars: a Gold, two Silvers, and a Blue!!

Karmasartre -- Four stars: a Gold, two Silvers, and a Green!!

Nichim -- Four stars, a Gold, a Silver, and two Blues!!

Rex Parker -- Four Green Stars!!

Thanks to them, and -- as always -- to all of you who indulge me by taking the Quiz or just by glancing at the blog in general every once in a while. It's very flattering. I hope some of you have a small fraction of the fun I have with this thing.

    Man, I can't believe I'm the only one out there who liked the college football posts! I'm going to miss them. . . unless I can talk you into changing your mind. Maybe long-distance hypnosis. . .

    Here's another vote for college football. Don't let the anti-sports whiners keep you from talking about things interesting to you.

    I'm not particularly interested in your classical music comments... but you won't hear any complaints from me!

    Go Blue!

    I too enjoy the College Football commentary-probably more than the sport itself.
    I speak for at least one of your readers (myself) and possibly others when I ask - how was the big b-day bash? Any good stories/gossip/pictures? Your readership (at least one of them) is hungry for details since many of us could not make it there.
    Have a great Thursday Quiz vacation!

    I thought I had at least "a small fraction of the fun" you have with your blog...but, given your picture, I am obviously not having any fun.

    Oh man, I love the dignified contemplation and the tie dye too.
