[Editor's Note - The Leaderboard is below and MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM FOR A LITTLE SURPRISE!!!]

So, this is the end. Your only friend. The end.

Hard to believe we just burned another 3 weeks off the calendar. If I keep these contests flowing, we’ll be beachside in no time. Of course, I need a vacation a lot sooner than the lot of you so I’m going to take a little hiatus after this round. Plus, I don’t want to wear out my welcome.

I do have two ideas in mind for those interested. Sometime, next month, I’m going to run a little one-shot, one week contest. I call it Chick Flick or Dick Flick. I’ll give full rules when we get closer but the premise is that I run a series of recognizable quotes from movies and you have to tell me if it’s from a chick flick or an action movie. Bonus points are awarded if you can actually name the flick and you are able to gamble points for a higher payday if you think you know the title. More to come soon.

The next pop-culture trivia contest will cover our most recent decade. I feel we have enough under our belt to do this proper. Plus, I’m dying to see if Scott E. or Dan M. retained any knowledge from 24 hours ago. I’m calling that contest – Y2KO. I’m thinking I’ll run that in late April/early May – which should lead us straight to Summer and I can go away for awhile and leave y’all alone.

All right, enough rambling preamble. You know the rules. Everyone has until 6:30 a.m. EST Thursday February 19, 2009 to send their answers to theedzone@gmail.com or via private message on Facebook.

As always, no cheating. Meaning no Google. No Yahoo. No Wiki. No spouse. No collecting fragments from those two spy satellites that collided and deciphering the top secret data. Nothing.

Good Luck.
