OK Quizster the Quizmeister has been on an extended stay at the Betty Ford Clinic getting his liver re-conditioned and his spare bench checked. So he has been a little tardy in getting the newest quiz to us here at DRO penthouse office located on the top floor of the two-story phlegm building in downtown O’Fallon MO. Usually the quizster sends a slightly buzzed pigeon to drop his latest quiz in the old mayo jar but this time the staff was alerted to the new quiz’s arrival by the faint rustles of a leather wing bat as it circled then dropped the message in the bottle. Like the buzzards returning to Ohio when the bats are circling  the phlegm building you know the quizster is back.
