Aww, I was so hoping I’d win after the Phillies and Obama did. Nonetheless, congrats to Arbed! Enjoy your calender!
I’d love more competitions, this one was fun, I learned a lot, and I had something to look forward to all day.

Cute Overloaded.

That was fun, (I sat on the sidelines, I didn’t know Humphrey, but that was fun!
I guess more competishes could be fun,I doubt I’d play, thought, just watch!
Thank you for teh fun!
I forgot to close my parens-sorry. here it is…).
Have a great hope-filled day, Peeps!
Bummer, dude. I got the last one wrong! I put in “Cat’s Eye” because there was a game from the late 70s/early 80s called “Cat’s Eye” that had ‘cats’ eyes’ in it.
@Arbed: Kewell, and goodonyer, mite.
@NTMTOM: Lurve the competishes – I try to never lose an opportunity to learn something new, and competishes are a kewell way to do that.
I had to look them all up, except for marbles!
Congrats Arbed!
And, yes please, can we have some more???
Bah – foiled in my attempt to get a CO calendar. AND I knew all of them apart from the collective noun for kittehs…
I got all of them except the last one. I didn’t even think of marbles! I used to play a string game called cat’s cradle and while you’re going through it you make cat eyes with the string. Oh well! It was still a lot of fun.
Top Cat!! yay! That was my favorite cartoon was I was a kid.
I loved the competition! It was fun and informative! I would definitely enjoy more games like this!
bring ‘em on!
yes please! more furry competishes =D
I loved it, it was a lot of fun! Humphrey was named after Humphrey Appleby from the British comedy Yes, Minister, a hilarious show making fun of bureaucracy and the civil service. The only one I missed was a group of kittens, I said litter. Maybe a doggie competishe would be a good next step
I didn’t know Top Cat either, yay learning
I got them all right too. and some I knew and some required google foo.
Yay Arbed…
and Moar Moar Moar Contests Please!
What does it say about me if my immediate answer to the Geography question was “Ceiling Cat!!!”?
Ding, ding, ding! Kimberly wins the extra credit prize! Which is…um…well, you done good, Kimberly! *pats you on the back*
(I lurve Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister!)
Yay, more competishes!!
Note on the Hemingway Museum…
First of all it’s crap. I grew up in Hemingway’s hometown and he hated it there. Also, i have never ever seen a cat there, though to be fair I haven’t looked very hard. Also in the spirit of fairness there are gillions of six toed cats in Oak Park. So many that they aren’t even very exciting. I have one, he’s a badass rodent killing machine, but he’s an import (from WI but shhh don’t tell the Hemingway stock… they’ll tease him)
