Answers will be forthcoming this afternoon, along with final standings and any other information we feel like we can cram into a post. In the meantime, entertain yourself with the questions from last night's quiz at the Old Pequliar:

We’ve always been intrigued by corn mazes -- especially since, if memory serves, one was once made out of Ichiro’s face -- but we’ve never tried one ourselves. So we recently spent an autumn afternoon in the Snohomish River Valley, about a 35-mile drive north of Seattle, visiting “Washington’s Largest Corn Maze”. It’s actually a 12-acre stand shaped like the Evergreen State, roughly 1/3,802,827th the size.

Seattlest spent Memorial Day weekend of 2002 at Banks Lake, just south of the Grand Coulee Dam. Halfway through the long weekend, we vowed never to do that again. Along with a camping layout that resembled a jammed Belltown block of newfangled condos, there was also the constant blasting of stereos from every nearby car, trailer, RV, and boat. We made the best of it by drinking plenty of beer, throwing the frisbee about, and the occasional fishing jaunts out on the lake, but especially after the drive back to Seattle that resembled a slow-moving slough of cars stuck in lava, we arrived home neither rested nor with the typical 3-day weekend glow we're accustomed to. So this year we plan to "get away from it all", as the travel sites like to say.
