OK - we have 24 people counting my 2 non-Swamping friends so I'm going to do a World Cup type format. The top 2 in each group, along with the 4 of the 3rd place teams will make the knockout stages. But there will still be an overall low score winner that may be knocked out early. Here are the groups...

I have been babysitting my sick niece all day so I will need to get the last 6 or so entrants added to the list so looking at a reveal in about an hour

Pretty sure it is the city limits

I thought about posting this in the Science! thread. Or, perhaps the MLB thread. But, I settled on this one. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHA0LGqW0AAb7Eg.jpg h/t SB Nation That made laugh more than anything I've seen in weeks. Do they even have an editor at that paper because that is just fucking dumb

You foolish Canuck - green has replaced the red white & blue since America is all about cash.

Bensell

As of now we have 15 entries - going to do the draw soon but if anyone else joins I can expand the field. Remember even if you lose in the first round there is an over all Low Score Champion. Which would be a really cool name for a horse

Bensell

It is still utter bullshit that this tourney is on turf.

And the Aussie's just tied it...

Yeah, that looks good. Nice cast.
+1 to that.

I knew that the (damn great) book had been optioned but hadn't heard any casting or who was directing. That looks Fn amazing

I'm a little shocked that Iowa State's new coach is Murray State's Steve Prohm. From both sides of the deal. It seems like Iowa State is one of the lower Big 5 Conference schools and Murray State has moved up to the Davidson/Dayton/Xavier type middle major status, even if they are still in pretty mu...

Did Velasquez even tap that horse? That was awesome. I hope he didn't, I can't imagine the horse racing controversy if he did. There was a big outrage after the Derby because he did hit the horse 30 times. But what they never said was that new whips aren't tough on the skin - it is just a tool to g...

I thought the mother was way more apologetic in the boy's actions than the dad, but both were horrible. And now they are making the sisters come out and say they aren't mad and weren't even aware of the abuse. Just disgusting apologists for a molester who that I would bet has done the same thing sin...

Oh, one or two???
Yes, I still watch Modern Family. And yes, I rewound and watched that scene twice.

I don't care as much about Modern Family as I used to, given the 7 waiting on my dvr, but I still think is a solid A-/B+ show

Week One: 1. Name a Triple Crown winner (no counting this year if it happens on Saturday) (11 correct answers) 2. Name a President that was numbered 11 to 20 (10) 3.

No joke. The oldest Caitlyn I know is around 27 and married to my cousin. The next oldest Caitlyn I know is one of the older children of my friends; I think she is 13 or 14.

OK I got to come up with a couple more questions then I will post. How about we do a Tuesday reveal so if for some reason I don't post questions until Friday one week that should give everyone plenty of time?

I remember that pic of IsItStinky. She looked like she could be related to ScarJo. Bigger question: Who saved the profile pic of BlueDevlyn? Not me. But, that was a crazy day in the Swamp.

I don't see them taking away Russia but I bet that Qatar is gone by the end of this year, with the US or England taking over host duties.

Meaning you got to invite yourself. I'm going to post questions on Friday for a Monday or Tuesday reveal so if you want in let me know. We will do a single elimination tourney as well as the over all top score. But I can't promise cool Carwash logos... ETA - Questions are up. If you still want to ge...
