What is happening here
Hiya! Name’s Mister Skeleton, though my pals call me Mr. S. And everyone’s my pal! So call me Mr. S, I guess is what I’m try’na say.
Anyways, if yer lookin’ for some fun trivias, then lemme tell ya: Mister Skeleton’s Trivia Zone is the right spot for ya!
Are you a skeleton?
Only as much as the next guy! Ha ha!!
Is the trivia all about skeletons?
People always ask me this! If my name was Smith or somethin’, wouldja assume all my trivas were about smithery? ‘Course not!
Nah, the trivias are about all sorts a’ stuff. It’s usually a bit freewheelin’ and kinda about just whatever’s on my mind.
Associative’s a reasonable word to describe it, I’ll own up to that.
But it’s definitely not about just skeletons, in case ya that’s something ya were worried about.
So, uh, how does this … work
If ya sign up, I’ll send ya two trivias most every day a’ the week. Exceptin’ weekends, which is when I take a rest. (Also holidays.) (And maybe some other days, it kinda depends I guess. But point is, if ya sign up I’ll send ya some trivias! Pretty nifty, right?!!)
I heard there was a leaderboard
Yeppers! I keep up a monthly leaderboard so’s ya can see how ya stack up against other folks readin’ this.
The deal is basically that each day I send ya a link to a form for submittin’ your answers to the two trivias of the day. Scorin’s like this:
If ya get both questions right, that’s worth four points!
If ya only get one a’ the two questions right, that’s a deuce (i.e., two points).
If ya don’t get any right, I’ll still give ya a point for participatin’.
The leaderboard’s one a’ those optional things, and there’s not really a reason to do it – like, I don’t got any kind a’ prizes to send out to ya if ya win – but anyway some folks seem to like it, so there ya go.
Can I give you money?
I mean, I won’t say no!! But my day job’s runnin’ this hole-in-the-wall restaurant near the local university, and it gets me by pretty fine.
OK, but will I get something if I give you money?
If ya pay to subscribe, the main thing ya get is access to all the archives, which is kinda fun. But otherwise, nah, everything’s open to everyone.
If I start doin’ extra goodies, I might make ‘em subscriber-only. But in general, my aim’s to keep the all the basics free ‘n’ open to all. No promises, but that’s my aim!
Nothing else you wanna mention?
I dunno, there’s some other stuff, like how Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays and on Wednesdays I usually throw some kinda wordplay into the answers. But when ya boil down the whole situation it’s basically just “Mr. S sends ya two trivias a day!” and that’s about it.
Can we just touch upon the “Are you a skeleton?” thing one more time
I’m 100% a real normal human being with flesh and blood and lungs and stuff, and definitely not a living skeleton that was animated by dark magic back before the dawn of history. How would that even work? It’d be totally ridiculous!!
Uh, OK then
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
