Learned League

I knew beecher because he's buried in our nearby cemetery and I've visited his grave on a few occasions!

I had a similar reason.

I used to live across the street from a church with a statue of him out in front.

And then I also had a friend who was related: his mother’s maiden name was Harriet Beecher.

But I still had to think for a second.

Any word on 1DS yet?

Not until after Halloween I think, or try not think until then.

k

i put my first solo one in and it feels strong enough that I've already written half the questions in anticipation

Looks like we made it, forks.

I mean we didnt' get relegated, no idea about the 1DS.

yeah, whew. as bad as i could play and not get knocked out! That said, the #3 guy in my rundle had fewer TCA, so...

I had something similar.

In my case it was the number 4 guy.

Although, I may have been the same guy.

Had a good season, but man, my opponents really rose to the occasion against me this time

Just voted in the Very Best Wrong Answer poll, but my heart wasn't in it.

I posted my worst TCA ever, though we're talking about 81 vs. 82, huzzah!

It's still a month away but there's a crossword 1DS that looks interesting.

Some good ones coming this week if I am not mistaken.

Maybe not. So about that Clash 1DS…

i wonder why there's a 3-day break in the Adaptations ML

Only a few of us did Self Referential Songs

lol i got every question right and am still in 237th place

Yes. I missed one and I am tied with you, in exactly the same place. Seems like there were maybe two dozen champions.

The little thingie tells me that with better moneying I would have been in 82nd place!

2022 MLs are out, about two weeks for the 1DS. Starting to get that feeling.

I'm annoyed at myself for not doing better in the Po-mo 1DS, especially for just slightly getting the title of the Eco novel wrong.

Actually he said in the announcement that the 1ds schedule will be out next week.

Ah, so he did, thanks.

i really thought i had mine in the bag, will be disappointed if it's a no go

How can anyone be sure?

i guess i thought i would be the first person they contacted. likely with a bouquet of roses.

i placed third in my adaptations bracket, feel like i could've done better if i slowed down a little

Must…be…patient…

Sorry, couldn’t find a Rick Astley version.

I don't know if there is any early acceptance on 1DS's or not, but I have had 4 proposals accepted and in all instances I received my acceptance just a few minutes before the schedule was posted on the website.

I doubt there is early acceptance was just making a joke since it is that time of year.

1DS alert that I think appeals to forks and me (and maybe others) as well today!

Which one?

Superlative Life, based on the blurb I read before today (I haven't played it yet).

Isn’t that the name of a character from Porgy and Bess?

Waiting for 1DS selection is so “Pick me, Mr. Commissioner!” if not full-on

Grr, finished 72nd %ile, would've gotten all the way to 95th with better moneying. Really hard time identifying the questions that might play hard.

Similar to me, except that my mistake was stupidly moneying sailfish.
