MM and KM Links November 2008 [Week 1]

[crofter]

Good Evening AB Linkers, everywhere!

Welcome to this first week in the reign of Tricksy Strix-y, who should appear in person tomorrow! It is true to say that Strix is a relatively recent addition to the Shrubbery family, yet he has been able to capture the playful mood instantly. He has proved to have a sharp wit and a truly unique grasp of language. All the text is ready for tomorrow's launch of MM Links and I am looking forward to an exhilarating month of challenges from him.

Don't forget that this will be a five-week month, so you better make every effort to engage with the shining wit (not a Spoonerism) of Strix. So batten down the hatches and prepare for bloody battle. The posting should open at 8.45am and the four words to be linked should be declared at 9.00am tomorrow, when MM Links kicks off in earnest. Remember, remember ~ that early hits gain bonus points!

Hi x-ray...thank you!

Does anyone know where Strix has scarpered off to tonight?

[x-ray]

Strix is probably thinking up some most elusive words for tomorrows links.
I didn't do very well with ulysses, feel sure I wont do any better with those from Strix.

I actually joined AnswerBank on November 4th (last year)
Always reminded of this when I go to my profile.
Only one year and it seems it's been forever.
What did I do before that I wonder ???
