Were the questions to hard or did no one want a new cap?

Did you not receive any replies?  And yes, the questions were hard.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

You asked, I answered.  I'm not complaining.  Didn't figure I was eligible anyway.

Damn.  I gave up when I didn't know the answer to every single one off hand.  I would have gotten more than 5 right.

Cries of nepotism?

Actually, because I didn't enter the contest.  I figured the tie-breaker was only open to those who submitted approved guesses in the beginning.

I find this quite amusing.  I am probably one of the only posters here that does not own an apple product, of any sort.

I was going to enter, but I couldn't afford the five figures for the lightning cable.  Plus I was going to be really embarrassed when I got the answers wrong on my recaps.

Um...I don't.

BTW, I think Ebby was a great winner. He stuck with posting in even the worst circumstances. A worthy winner.

Most older models only had three wheels.  Mine has four wheels but only three cylinders.

I'll just go on the record and say I thought the Scavenger Hunt thing was a great idea and really well done.  Yes, it was difficult (four of the ones I guessed correct were from my Previews), but it's a great way to shine a light on some of the great stuff being written all over this site.
Thanks to BG and RB for spearheading this.

I'll echo this.  It was fun to be reminded of the excellent writing throughout the season.
