1. Name the one sport in which neither the spectators nor the participants know the score or the leader until the contest ends.

I don’t know if we are supposed to make something out of our own quotes…but at least this isn’t too serious

“Sometimes the Dragon Wins”

The Tale of the Cowardly Dragon

The dragon returned to the town
To find he’d been heaped with reknown.
The princess, on her knees
Said, “Marry me please!”
His cowardly past he’d lived down.

I love this one 😆 8)

Seriously! He thinks he heard an unidentifiable sound in the woods last night. Me? I think it was a wild boar or black bear. 🙄 I’ll update y’all later 😉

More on Oobleck Just so you know 😉
I grew up on Dr. Seuss and of course so have my kids
8)

Bartholomew, the king’s page, saves the kingdom from the King’s insatiable desire to have the latest, the newest and the unusual, even if it means disaster. In this case, the King orders the royal magicians to create something better than boring old rain or snow (possibly the Kingdom is in Buffalo, New York, Detroit MI or Boston, where the amount and quality of precipitation is of the sort to have you nodding at the wisdom of the King’s request.) The magicians create Oobleck, a snotty-green, sticky substance that effectively provides national unity by gluing the entire place, people and all, together.

[Marji]

From Wilipedia ~ Easier than my slow typing 🙄
Bartholomew and the Oobleck is a 1949 children’s book by Dr. Seuss. It is a sequel to The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, and follows the further adventures of the young royal page Bartholomew Cubbins of the kingdom of Didd as he tries to clean up after King Derwin orders an ill-advised magical spell cast to create something new coming from the sky, an extremely sticky green substance known as oobleck.

Unlike the great majority of Seuss’s books, this book is written in prose rather than verse.

[Marji]

Just my two cents here but
Ummm OObleck? (Dr. Suess) Green slimy Out of control. That should suit you! 😆 😆 😆

I’m so glad Tristen is doing better. My Dad was a Vet for 35 years. I grew up “doctorin” sick pets when they needed it.
We have 14 four footed furry kids and it never seems to get easier when any of them is sick or injured.
