As I've traveled, I've often wondered why people decide to live and work in the towns/cities in which they live/work. Mostly, I think about this in terms of the small "mom and pop" type stores or shops or service centers that cater to only a small geographical region. Of course, with the internet, in most cases, those same businesses can reach farther than ever before. Yet, I wonder what brought them to set up a brick'n'mortar business and home in the location they have chosen. Was the decision made because of the location of family? The location of friends? Or, was it the cost of living? The cost of doing business? Or, was it due to a particular opportunity? And, given how much I love to travel, I've wondered if people ever think/dream about moving around from town to town every so often. For those that HAVE moved around a lot ... or travel a lot ... I've wondered if they've ever thought about "settling down" somewhere in particular. *shrugs* Or, perhaps I'm odd enough to wonder about these things ... he he. Heh ... I'm not even sure I can answer any of those questions for myself ... but, what about you ... why do you live and work where you do?

Last week at work, my co-workers and I got on the subject of sayings that we knew, such as: "Good night shirt tail" "Finders keepers, losers weepers" "Nice play, Shakespeare" ...and a few others that I had never heard ... and, of course, can't remember exactly.... So ... how about you? What are some quips that you know?

*chuckles* See ... doesn't take much knowledge to grab a lead in this game . *** Sorry this has been on the "backburner" for a while, but I'm finally getting time to post correct replies to ITEMS 3 and 4 [sTANDINGS after ITEMS 3 and 4 will be posted NEXT time].... _"WHEEL OF FORTUNE" ROUND CORRECT RESPONSES_ Item 3: According to dealer brochures, this feature of the 2nd generation (1973-1977) MCs, "made simple use of complimentary exterior colors". F A S H I O N - T O N E S T Y L I N G Item 4: A commercial introducing the 5th generation Monte Carlo included these lines: I F T H E B E A U T I F U L L Y - R O U N D E D L I N E S O F T H E A L L - N E W M O N T E C A R L O S E E M S O R T O F F A M I L I A R, T H E Y S H O U L D.

FGMC's 71454SS: "I feel there is a silent majority that appreciates your knowledge and werewithall to put the game together for entertainment. I just don't know enough to partake...." MCC's 85t5mcss: "IMHO the prize is the fact that u spend your time creating the trivia for us. Time is a very valuable resource and I for one am glad that u got the sampler on line. Much appreciated" TriplePlate's StephenM: "See, my thinking was if I didn't submit a response, I'd effectively have a zero. But if I submit a response, I'm likely to have less than zero. And this is coming from a former champion who spent all of last year looking at a Monte Carlo poster. Nevertheless, I boldly submit the following answers for your remorseless red pen ... Here's hoping I finish positive. ... I need to hurry up and finish my homemade 'Bestest TriplePlate Monte Carlo Trivia Champion in The Universe EVER' title belt." And a couple that aren't quite as flattering... Posted in a ChevyTalk 'Chit Chat' section thread about the game: "To be honest, the way the questions were worded, it's obvious they didn't use someone who knew how to to write questions ... that was a very amateurish example of trying to do a survey!" Posted in the game's thread on MyMonte: "I can probably tell you why no one is playing this game ...

I, too, feel a bit "repetitive and mundane". Tho, my MCs (during the spring/summer/fall months, anyway) help alleviate some of that feeling ... as do my yearly road trips. Then again ...

Sorry, but in between getting ready for my radio show in April, work, and other commitments, I haven't had time to total everyone's scores for the next round. Sssooo...for those who haven't participated yet ... and would like to ... you still have some time to reply to ITEMS 3-6 and BONUS 7-9. If you're hesitant, I can tell you that, of the ones I have scored, some of the -3s came out of the "red" very quickly.

I know more of you know these trivia answers ... and it won't take you long to post your replies ... may take you quicker than posting to some other threads . Given that 3 of the boards do not have any participants (yet, anyway), I may give prizes to the participants in the top 15 or so of overall total points ... including, of course, those who win their respective board in total points. And, if you ARE participating, but haven't answered all of ITEMS 3-6 and BONUS 7-9, be sure to at least GUESS ... INCORRECT replies and NO REPLIES are the same (negative points).
