The trivia website I was all enamored with has changed their rules a bit. They no longer allow quizzes with less than five legitimate answers. This rules out quizzes where you’re supposed to guess (for example) if “Hotel California” was a song by The Eagles or the Bay City Rollers (it’s the Eagles, BTW, and you can just see yourself out if you thought it was the other option). I had a message from the trivia site telling me that my quiz about square #s has been deleted. I was pretty bummed about it, but went on with my day. 3 day weekend! (Plus, I knew it was a crappy quiz anyway)<\/p>\n
Later, I spent some time playing all the quizzes written lately by the person who’d turned me onto the site. Even later, I went to look for new quizzes by this person, to find him GONE. G-O-N-E. I think it’s because most of the quizzes he’d written were like the above example. I wonder if they deleted his account? I hope not!<\/p>\n
I guess my point is, I’m thinking of deleting my account on the trivia website. I’m not really writing this for anyone’s benefit but my own, just to think the thing through. I don’t want it to be a reactionary decision, like the kind that happen in a restaurant when the popular manager is fired. Just don’t know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
