And the Winner Is

Some time ago (I won't say how long because I won't write all of this in one sitting) I asked you my loyal readers to answer some trivia questions about me. I intentionally made them difficult. I doubt even I would be able to get them all right. Now it is time to reveal how little you know about me.

1. I was born at 11:17 am. After the first two entries I decided to give credit for the eleven o'clock hour, but then Moma blew the curve. Also you will notice that the post was published at 11:17.
2. Crooks Road. Though it now has a number that I don't even remember instead of a name.
3. Celebration 1986 at the Cobbages.
4. I have a BS in mathematics. I think that means I can make numbers lie.
5. I graduated in December of 1996 with a GPA of cough cough.
6. I've lived here over 15 years.
7. May 13 aka Mary Jo's birthday.
8. By the time this is published it will likely be 15 years (I don't actually remember my hire date), but as full time it has been 14 years. It feels like forever is a more accurate number.
9. The ring finger on the left hand. I have been meaning to add the story to this blog but have not gotten around to it yet.
10. Just the 2. The Grand Prix and the Mazda.
11. It only took five times before I learned my lesson. 92, 94, 96, 98, and 99. Apparently, I had no problem paying a speeding ticket every other year, but when it happened in consecutive years I decided to change my ways.
12. My car is named Betty after the classic Chevy Chase song Call Me Al.
13. I needed a name to represent the source of all knowledge and information in the world. Though I guess I could have chosen a name that went with playing games. My obvious choices were Giles and Wesley. I chose Giles. I rarely use his name though because I believe that all gender neutral things should have girl names.
14. My favorite color is purple, though during basketball season, it is also navy and gold.
15. My favorite food is doughnuts though ice cream is also an acceptable answer.
16. My favorite grink is coffee. I've only been drinking it for around seven years, so I have thirty-three years worth of missed coffee that I am trying to catch up on. And since Moma can't have coffee anymore, I feel obliged to drink her share too.
17. My road trip food of choice is peanut M&M's. When we were kids, I was on team plain, but some years ago I converted. I still like plain though, I always buy peanut.
18. My favorite number is 8. It is a perfect cube and also Andre Dawson's number with the Cubs.
19. I play MLB 13 the Show more than all other video games combined. I think this is my second or third version of this game,but even before that baseball has been my most played for years.
20. I have difficulty choosing between Angel and Buffy. They are practically the same show. Angel is a little bit better but there are 34 more episodes of Buffy. So either answer is correct.
21. My television's default channel is the MLBNetwork.
22. The Count of Monte Cristo. Also he makes a great sandwich.
23. Labor Day is the best. You don't have the hectic schedule of Christmas or the regimented schedule of Thanksgiving. MLK and Memorial Days are contenders but there is less car time with Labor Day than those two.
24. The aforementioned Andre Dawson is my favorite.
25. This question used to be much easier. Though in the past few years Carlos Zambrano, Derek Lee, Ryan Theriot, and Aramis Ramirez have all retired or left the Cubs. Darwin Barney is my current favorite Cub, but overall Ramirez is still my favorite.
26. Unfortunately only 3. One at Wrigley and two at old Busch.
27. This one is really hard. I would have given credit for anyone in the top 5 or so. Cuthbert Victor, Ed Daniel, Jewuan Long, Isaac Miles, Vincent Rainey, Marcus Brown, Tyler Holloway. My college career and Popeye's only overlapped by one year. Otherwise, he might be higher on the list.
28. Matt Murdock
29. My Daredevil #1 is CGC 3.5. There was a 4.0 on ebay recently that went for $610. I assume this is my most valuable.
30. My intent was to award this question Price Is Right style. But I only got one actual bid. 5357 was the number back when I asked the question. That's counting all trades and graphic novels as one comic each regardless of how many they might collect. I believe Moma's answer of "a bunch" is the closest without going over.
31. I've got two David Mack Daredevils and an Andy Lee Captain America.
32. I usually say telekinesis, but it is actually long range teleportation. TK would be fun, but being able to be in Clinton, Lexington, or Shalimar with just a thought would be better.
33. I saw Baseball for the first time in 1995 on KET. I don't remember when I started watching it every year, but it is one of my favorite traditions.
34. Naturally the second born Jase is my favorite regular on the show.
35. But my favorite episodes are the ones with the little girls.
36. California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia 22
37. 10 though Ellen thinks it's 11.
38. I thought this question might entice Mac to respond, but I guess he has forgotten his way to this blog.
39. I've got 157 Acappella songs out of 1853.
40. Farty.

So the final score is Joshua 28, Bill 20, Moma 20 plus 3 bonus points for funny answers on 6, 10, and 31.
