Weekly Trivia Winner, Happy Mothers Day!!

1st I'd like to say Happy Mother's Day to All the Mothers out there!

Remember without your mother none of you would be here!!

With a renewed commitment, PG has stormed the Tom's Trivia Challenge !! He vowed to "Play Every Day" at the beginning of the month....and by doing so he scored an AMAZING 132 points in the past week alone....If he keeps this up I may have to change the name of the tournament to PG's Trivia Challenge. PG made it interesting last night, not playing until very late....and coming up with a last minute win in Saturdays Game


GREAT JOB PAT!!

Visit Pat and get a look at this week's star at his Blog Annoyingly Boring and tell him where you found out about him!!


Player Weekly Pts Overall Standing
1. PG 132 1
2. The_IQ 84 3
3. kathlock 79 2
4. gutterguy 76 5
5. sas 69 6


It has been a great week at Tom's Trivia Challenge and it's good to see some new names in the Top 5....SAS and Gutterguy...we are still waiting on a player picture for.

Kathlock was our star player last week and IQ will have his picture up in the Trivia Player Picture Series later this week...

I'd like to give Soy Boy an honorable mention for the week, he earned 63 points in the past week and PG's late night win knocked him out of the Weekly Top 5

Keep trying Soy Boy and thanks to everyone for playing..

Well I shirked my administrative duties yesterday on the Trivia Challenge but I am back and I hope I brought MY Brain too, because my scores last week were horribly low...I think it was all the rain and dreary weather or maybe...I am a dunce!!

Whatever!!

The scores below reflect the the players who accumulated the most points for the week...There are 6 players this week because there was a tie for third place, plus, I wanted to squeeze The Bonster into the top standings, as she along with Operator9 made their debut on Tom's Hideaway, Trivia Player Picture Series this week....

I am hoping that by showering attention on The Bonster, who made the # 5 spot that maybe I'll get a free Haircut this summer !!

Congrats also to one of our newest players SAS making the top 3!!


I digress,

Announcing: The WINNER for the past week:


KATHLOCK !!

That's Kath Lockett our witty and now 2 Time Winner from Down Under...and she's got her 1st book published in Australia Titled: Work/Life Balance For Dummies.

Congrats again Kath!!

Her blog, Blurb from the Burbs is worth the read and her latest post is a funny and insightful look at some of the Joyless Jobs she's had in her life... Personally I'd never realized there were Cucumber Polishers!!

Congratulation to Kath and the other stars of Tom's Hideaway : Trivia Challenge
