April's #1 Player

I've been getting lots of pictures from our players and today we feature 2 more contestants in the increasingly popular Tom's Trivia Challenge.

In March we had 20 players and by the end of April we are up to 35 players, and I would encourage you all to play every day as it's the total points you earn that determine our weekly winner who is Immortalized right here at Tom's Hideaway every Sunday!!

Take Tom for example...He had only 1 win in April but managed to come in 2nd overall in points for the month!!

He was also the weekly winner last week..Go Tom!!

Now take a look some of those you compete against at Tom's Trivia Challenge

Weekly Trivia Winners and Pictures from Fenway

This is the Weekly breakdown for the top 5 Weekly Point getters for Tom's Trivia Challenge for the week ending Saturday 4/19/08.

Weekly Rank	Player	Total Points for week	Overall Rank
1	Operator9	79	1
2	Sally	75	4
3	Fatback	69	5
4	Tom	68	3
5	bunny	65	7

Operator 9 has for the 2nd consecutive week been the Weekly Point Getter and as I predicted last week has climbed to the top spot in overall scoring...Operator 9 is Number 1. I hope Operator 9's Favorite Red Sox player, Jason Varitek, starts hitting!!

SALLY, from Yeah What Of It!? finished 2nd in points for the week and moved from 8th overall to 4th overall ...Way to go Sally...Did you see Manny last night??

3rd in points for the week was FATBACK, Alarmingly she has dropped from 4th to 5th overall and needs to step up on her game this week!!

Tom, yes, TOM.....the man, the myth , the legend...At least that's what it says on his coffee cup, was 4th in points for the week but has moved into 3rd overall...AND he got to go to the Red Sox game last night..Well Done Tom if I don't say so myself, hmmm, I have been known to talk to myself but now I am typing to myself...crazy, Yes!

The No. 5 point getter from the week is BUNNY, it is her first time in the top 5 and she hopped all the way up from 12th overall last week to 7th this week. If she eats more carrots and plays more consistently we may see Bunny in the top 5 before the end of the mont. Nice going Bunny

Thanks to everyone...All 30 of you for playing the past week and remember you don't have to win every day to make it into the Top 5 Weekly Point Getters..Just play, be accurate and as fast as you can and you can make it up there with the other winners!! Also if you have a blog I'll link you up when you make the Weekly Top 5!!

Join the Challenge

If at all possible I'd love to have a baby picture of our contetestents that they would not mind me posting, PixiePants was nice enough to provide me one for the last post and of course I will do anything I can to provide anonymity if that's what you want..Everyone knows what Tom looks like anyway.. Handsome of course!!

Pictures of my Fenway Park Excursion last night..



Parked "FREE" by the tracks on Beacon Street and walked to the park



Grabbed a Hot Dog outside beneath the Green Monster before going inside



Lance Armstrong threw the first pitch.



Manny won the game, did I say 2008 MVP, with a 2 run blast in the bottom of the 8th...He powered the ball out of the park!!

I'm better off than the Cougar

Yesterday it looked like the entire Chicago Police department surrounded a cougar on the North Side of the city and shot it to death....There had been reports of "Cougar Sightings" around the city but I guess no=one thought about coming up with a plan with regard to capturing the animal, maybe using a tranquilizer or involving any experts from a local zoo or anything.

Find it, Kill it seemed to be the action plan of the day, to bad for the cougar he didn't bring his Uzi with him.

Personally I feel bad for the animal.

Moving on...I am watching the Red Sox vs Yankees right now and it's ugly 11-9 Yankees in the 6th Inning.

I listed my blog on the Million Blog List on the 15th and at the time I was at the bottom of the list at #202...Just 24 hours later there are already up to 456 blog listings... If you haven't listed you blog visit the site and do it...I'll be updating the count with my post but things seem to be moving fairly fast there..

Tom's Trivia Challenge is still open for new players, so if you actually think you can match wits with some of the players we have there now...Bring Your Best Game.

The weather here in Sunny Massachusetts is turning spring like...I'm feeling the urge for BBQ and Cold Beer more than usual.
