As you have no doubt noticed, the comments still are not working, and I have less than no idea1 when they shall rise again. Thus, we're going to make this more of a long-term contest, where speed does not matter as much as acuity. Each of the ten questions is worth one point. If the comments aren't working, e-mail your guesses. You shall be the predictor, and I shall be the predictee:
1) As of December 31st, 2002 -- also the ending date for this year's point contest -- what will be Matthew's favorite film of 2002? (Reasonable possibilities: Time Out, All or Nothing, Adaptation, Catch Me If You Can, Possession (on a second viewing), The Gangs of New York, Y Tu Mama Tambien, What Time Is It There?, Solaris, The Santa Clause II. Yeah.)
Alexander:Solaris Beth-Annie:Time Out Ed:Possession Kimberly:All or Nothing Lisa:Catch Me If You Can moM:Y Tu Mama Tambien
2) Between November 7th, 2002 and November 11th, 2002 -- a time during which Kim will be absent from this here Commonwealth -- how many films will I see, including both full length and short?
4) To the nearest person2, how many individuals will show up at the November 7th Our Lady of Lourdes Bell Rehearsal, even if they do not play? (Reasonable guess: Less Fewer than eight.)
5) What will be the margin of victory of Thelma Dawn Esprit! over the Dixie Co. Bears in Yahoo! Fantasy Football League 320812's widely anticipated matchup of 6-2 squads? (For reference: Thelma won 50-42 last week.)
6) To the nearest day, when will Kimberly's rarely-driven 1986 Camero, currently at about 99,940 miles, reach 00,000 miles?
Alexander: November 12th
Beth-Annie: November 20th
Ed: November 18th
Kimberly: November 3rd
Lisa: November 4th
moM: November 17th
7) On November 5th, what will be my favorite song on Sixpence None the Richer's Divine Discontent? (Late note: If no one gets it on the nose, the closest track number gets the French silk pie.)
Alexander: "Tension is a Passing Note," track 12
Beth-Annie: "Paralyzed," track 8
Ed: "Dizzy," track 11
Kimberly: "I've Been Waiting," track 9 (correct answer: track 9) Lisa: "Still Burning," track 6
moM: "Down and Out of Time," track 3
8) At this moment, how many minutes difference is there between my work computer's clock and the analog clock on my desk?
9) To the nearest minute, what time will my feet first touch the floor on Saturday, November 2nd, including the possibility of a late-night trip to the bathroom? (Note: There is no reason I can think of why I would wake up early that day.)
10) What is the current ratio of socks in my sock drawer curled up with their mates to socks that are lonely and alone? (The ratio will be the judged component; i.e. 1:2 is equivalent to 15:303.)
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
