Yes, he's a WE®, but he's a teacher.

$100: Another question about "Father of the Bride"?! How often does the same subject appear in two consecutive stacks?

I'm perfect so far.

But he's still a WE. Even if he's also a blue-shirted MAWG.

I was glad TPTB let his daughter sit in the companion seat, even though she was underage.

It's rare enough to be remarkable!

There were also two taxonomy questions, both with jellyfish as a choice.

I'm sure this science teacher would like more questions like that.

A question right up his alley.

So he's already burned the ATA - probably not a good omen. But he's a teacher, so I'm rooting for him.

Yep. Long Island.

I haven't even had the heart or time to play recently (the real world has been sucky in the extreme) but I just wanted to chime in on this guy.

Of course, we didn't even know he was gonna be "this guy" at 1st....


so far so good.
