To say that I was disappointed (and angry) when I opened up the box for a pretty rare Carl Kasell bobble head broken due to poor packaging by the shipper is a major heckin' understatement.
I've messaged the seller but not holding my breath on an immediate resolution.

Oh, you know I would be adding a certain note based on what was said at the end of this week's Lightning Fill In The Blank segment 😂

1. We had a lot of fun at the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me taping in Santa Rosa yesterday
2. It was the first time N and I had been together since our relationship changed, and I did pretty well at not slipping back into old patterns. Not completely, but not terrible
3. There was a woman with a walker after the show all on her own and seemed to be struggling with her phone (she said she was going to call an Uber) so we offered and she accepted a ride home 😊

So, I decided to search for and purchase some Wait Wait Don't Tell Me-related items.
I guess the seller of one of the items I purchased wondered if I was connected to the show in some manner and looked me up. They asked if I ran the Wait Wait Stats Page. 😅

The Wait Wait Stats Project has a new web site/application called the "Wait Wait Playing Cards Gallery" where I have scanned, cataloged and published each of the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! playing cards that I have.

Starting to build a gallery web page for the Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! playing cards that I've scanned. Still have a ways to go before I can call it good enough to publish.

I just finished scanning both sets of the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! playing cards (54 cards per set), cleaning up dust particles, doing my best to give them uniform image sizes and generating smaller versions of each.
Still need to figure out how I want to present them to the world and get them out there for folks to browse through.

I went through both sets of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! playing cards that I have and did an inventory of each card.
Both sets that are mostly the same, though some folks in the second set have updated titles and a few new panelists have joined the club, as it were.
I plan on scanning the full set of cards and will find a way to display them online sometime in the near-ish future.

Just listened to the bonus episode announcing Alzo Slade as the new official judge and scorekeeper for Wait Wait.
In bonus pod, Alzo guessed that he has filled in for Bill Kurtis 10 times. Alzo has in fact been the guest scorekeeper 10 times (9 regular shows and 1 Best Of show).
