Rule 1 Have fun. Humorous answers encouraged. Rule 2 Weekend Questions will often span multiple days. Rule 3 I will post the Questions as early as Midnite (TX time) or as late as Noon CDT (Denton, RHQ time). If I miss that window, one of the other Quisitors please post a backup question. Rule 4 "The best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself. Second best? Tell one other person — if you must. There is no third best." QotDay TMI Corallary: sometimes the best answer might be no answer Rule 5 You must wait 10 minutes to make a second post, else your two posts will (awkwardly) be merged.

Greetings all! It is I, the Questgiver! Wait, no, the New Questioner! You are now on a quest to answer questions for a whole month! *mad cackling* Okay, onward to December's questions. We shall discuss random things. We shall discuss ourselves. We shall converse about holidays and food! We shall have fun and merriment and describe said fun and merriment with mirth (not ruling out some moodiness). For December 1st: What have you done that you are proud of lately? It can be a big thing. It can be a small thing. We know you are at least glad to have done something!

Greetings forum things! Once again, I, the Griffin of Grumpiness snag the tattered robe of the Quisitor in my beak for this the ninth month of Old Rome's calendar and also the month all Turkeys Dread! Question for Thursday, Nov 1st: Halloween is behind us, how long will you tolerate the decorations thereof? When do yours (if you had some) get stowed away for next year?
