Game Time Trivia

By Brad Lee

Lean in a little closer to your computer monitor and I'll tell you a secret about the paper edition of St. Louis Game Time.

For most games it gets put together very late at night (or very early in the morning depending upon how you look at things) and sometimes not everything actually makes it in/gets sent to Gallagher in time -- even at 2 a.m./gets delivered by the little digital postal worker who delivers the e-mail. So we make do with what we have. Fortunately we haven't had an all-cartoon edition of Game Time. Yet. And because of technical difficulties (maybe even sunspots), the trivia for tonight's edition did not make it into the paper. No you can't ask for a refund.

We now present to you Childhood Trauma's Trivial Trivia Spectacular Bonanza! (patent pending)

Feel free to print and insert inside your Game Time so you have an accurate copy.

(We totally expect someone to do this; we get requests for back issues from some regular readers who miss a game all the time.)
