English translation: Peter was guzzling coffee, which, coupled with the
bite of an obscure penguin, gaving him immense powers and reflexes.

Hey, over at Table A We didn't *NEED* any Steekin' excuses!

We had explanations. They were bad enough, as things turned out.

Well, I know a lot of SQL, but I was slow on the trigger, and Dirk knew
many of those answers. I recall this, we conferred, and consolidated 
our great knowledge.

In the meantime, others were pressing buttons and getting points. Being
right and late doesn't count.

Niobe? I never heard of that.. but Hollett was on his buzzer before me for
stuff like "delete". There's no excuse for that. I'm going to have more
coffee next time....maybe take Bill out for a few drinks, first...no thanks,
I'll pass....

And C++.. the last time I saw a ;; was when Bush was President... the FIRST
one....and Andrew Thompson was faster them I on the buzzer there...

I remeber KNOWING that the question was "Who is Sandra Bullock?" At that
moment I was shocked that anyone had asked a Geek Cinema question that did
not involve one of the Matrix or LOTR films. I was so happy I knew the right
question that pus --- well, Jon said it.

That darn button again.

Or maybe onrushing senility.

Agreed, opening it up, distributing it a bit would be interesting.

And just wait 'til next year!
