MM Links game... a suggestion

[slaney]

While looking at some banter between crofter and JimJools last week ,it occured to me that a "wild card" bonus point might add a little spice. This could be awarded at the start of play by the setter and be completely capricious.
It could be awarded for the best / wittiest answer the previous week, the best wrong answer ( here I would like to nominate crofter's answer to the dreadfully recurrent "bristly thighs" question ),most careless (me - mixing up Josef Mengele with Adolf Hitler) or any other category.
Bribery , nepotism ,blackmail and sycophancy all allowed!Just off to Ireland for a few days.
Fully expect to be shot down , and will survey wreckage on my return !

Hiya slaney, In the past I did suggest being able to play a joker card - which is a similar idea. The upshot was that the general consensus was to keep things as they were for the present. In view of the amount of time it takes at this simple level, I would tend to agree!

As for my answer based on Miss Piggy's "bristly thighs", that was a serious attempt at a strange question which I was meeting for the first time (and without the aid of options (a) (b) (c) )!

Please consider yourself duly "shot down" with wreckage strewn for miles! Enjoy Ireland and I hope to receive your predictions for the second round of the MM Links Game on Saturday (kick off 9.00).

Slaney ...you were not the only one to mix up Mengele and Hitler !!

Sorry crofter .. did not realise this had been floated before!
You did make it clear that you knew nothing of the quiz, but your answer certainly made me smile.
Apologies in advance for Sat - may not be able to get to a computer.
Your in combustion.
