Furthermore I have a very busy day planned so with very little Pomp and Circumstance !! Here are the leaders over the last 2 WEEKS !!

3. sneaky	188	1
4. TheJackster	178	5
5. Badlydrawnbhoy	174	9

CONGRATS Kath, seems like last week !!

I also added a little poll up top , seems crazy but currently I see that we have a lot of "Tiger Wannabees" out there. More on that later when this Poll has ended.

Have a great week !!

Bridge to Nowhere

Click for larger size

The bridge you see was once known as the Carlton Bridge and it spanned the Kennebec River in Maine connecting the Ship Building City of Bath and the town Woolwich but it's been replaced by a new bridge, to the left of the tracks, which is named the Sagadahoc Bridge, named after the county in Maine.

Bath , home to the General Dynamics Company "Bath Iron Works", just to the right of the "bridge to nowhere you can see the cranes which are a part of the shipyard, which has built and or designed hundreds of military vessels including today's most advanced class of Destroyer.

The Works is one of Maine's largest employers.

I was trying out the Panoramic Feature on my Fuji Camera..Still working on technique !!

Have a great day

A Birthday and Some other Odds & Ends

A Big Birthday Wish goes out to one of our many Trivia Players...

HAPPY Birthday BUNNY !!

I didn't buy you anything bunny but that's just because I don't want to spoil you.

I mean..YOU are Perfect Already !!

YOU KNOW IT !!

In other news we received a Scenic Picture from another one of our Trivia Player's

JLO went to visit one of the many Natural wonders in Scenic State of New Hampshire over the summer...

The Flume Gorge in Franconia State Park

In Sporting News:

The IQ attended last nights baseball game in San Diego where he was able to see Manny Ramirez hit 2 Home Runs and knock in 4 RBI's to POWER the LA Dodgers over the San Diego Padres to extend there lead to 3 1/2 games and remain in 1st place in their division

Too bad the Sox didn't have any power last night as they lost their game in 14 innings, The heart of the order, Youkilis, Ortiz and the affable Jason Bay combined for an anemic 0 for 14 against the 1st place Tampa Bay Devil Rays !!

And I stayed up to watch!!

Can't Wait For Sunday's Patriots Game

Trivia Players Picture Series, The IQ

The IQ Striking a pose

I received a Trivia Player's picture today, and he looks like a force to be reckoned with..well I don't know about that. He's certainly having some fun out there off the coast of Southern California out on Catalina Island.



The IQ also sent me this picture which gave me a good idea...

The Trivia Picture Series will be happy to post any scenic shots you may want to share from wherever you are from or maybe a vacation spot you visited recently.

You don't even have to be in the picture, but hey...wouldn't you have more fun just Striking a Pose !!

As I have said before, my EMAIL is on the sidebar

Sneaky, Un-Covered !!

Tom's Trivia Picture Series is BACK

And it's SNEAKY !!

He hails from Swampscott, MA and is a 40 something Bartender/Writer that enjoys playing trivia at Tom's Trivia Challenge. He's been known to serve me a pretty good Grey Goose Martini and was the most recent Weekly Winner (see last post) After reading about his Weekly Win he sent me the picture above...

Thanks Sneaky, now that we can see ya, we all know what we are up against !!

If you haven't sent me a picture yet, my email is on the sidebar

Trivia Update, Weekly Winners

It's been a week filled with new players, Here is a big Tom's Hideaway welcome to:

Phantom, SheShe, Minnie, Badlydrawnbhoy, Tiff , LemonYellow and Witchbabe13

Here are the leaders for the 1st week of September, 2008 !!

Player	Total Points	Overall Rank
1. sneaky	117	1
2. kathlock	97	2
3. Tom	95	3
4. PG	95	4
5. Sally	82	5

For the first time Sneaky has topped the Top Point Getters list here at Tom's Trivia Challenge

BIG CONGRATS to the elusive SNEAKY !!

Of course it would be nice to put a face to the Competition and we still have a lot of players, Like Sneaky, who haven't sent in their picture for the Trivia Picture Series and I think maybe some of you may not have a picture readily available so I'll change the rules a bit.

You can send me ANY picture that you would like to represent you here in the Tom's Trivia Challenge...as long as you have permission to use the picture !!

So ideally, it's a photo you or a friend has taken, maybe a picture of a Stuffed Chicken, or icon you have made up for yourself. Send them in to my email on the sidebar here with a little info about yourself, ie. favorite color, general location or whatever you feel we might find interesting and then I'll just make up the rest before I post them with appropriate Pomp and Circumstance.

It's not going to put you on some crazy mailing list and I will not use your email for any nefarious purposes!!

If you have a blog/web page let me know so that I can tell everyone where we can find you !!
