I see you.
Yes, I see you. I see your hungry eyes. I see your scratching hands, your sweaty palms. I see the way you twitch and writhe in a mess of despair. I see your hunch. I see the pit of your soul, and the way to fill the bottomlessness. I see the hushed words, creaking from your parched lips, like withered ghosts departing: “Please… I need the quiz.”
Alright, jeez. All you had to do was ask.
This week we’re kicking off with Solo Careers, followed by our trusty steed Sport, then followed by Heroes & Villains. The Picture Round this week is Cartoons, and finally (finally) ending with General Knowledge.
Go on, get it down you.
