Thirdly

You did great! Everyone really stepped up a notch this year on their entries. I was impressed.

Oh, man! It was well-deserved. For this being your first time participating, you really hit a homerun when it came to theme and topnotch entertainment! As the Germans say, I had "nothing to complain about!"

Because you not only did great in misdirection, you wrote one of my top favorite stories this year. You didn't participate last year, but there is a long running joke with @Gary L doling out punishments for the liars (but if you participate, you are supposed to misdirect and keep others guessing).

This was such a guilty pleasure to read! Well worth taking a look!!

Yes, agreed. Success! 🥰 Right? On both counts! Yaaaaay! Glad you enjoyed it, Adi! 🥰

Teamwork makes the dream work. 🤣 Success! 🥰 Yaaay! Glad you thought so, Cassie, my queen. 🥰 HAHAHA! Right?

All of my male friends take forever to poop due to just how much they eat. 🤣 What goes in must come out, after all. So they bring their phones and play games or scroll in the meantime. Right? Ambrosia was quick to think the worst case. Right?

Right? I saw a joke or skit somewhere online about men singing in public bathroom stalls while taking a shit and thought, "what if..." 🤣 Success! 🥰 Right? Most moms know best. Thanks, Lee! 🥰

Ok, first of all, my guesses do not count because I was a participant, but I'm pretty sure, I got 4-5 guesses correct at SOME point in time. Second of all, congratulations to mi hermano @Gary L for not only destroying me emotionally with his story, but for crafting the most Forbidden'd Knowledge story this year. THIRD OF ALL: The Ledger of the Howling Void by @chris191070 - SO GOOD! The Ledger by @drsawzall - SO GOOD! Wrong Window by @Topher Lydon - SO GOOD! Coffee with Supervision by @Mikiesboy - SO GOOD! Sweet Sour Paradox Logic by @Kileoli - SO GOOD I'M HIRING YOUR HUSBAND TO SPANK YOU! Just the Facts, Man by @Lee Wilson - SO GOOD! Murder At 9th and Tom by @astone2292 - SO GOOD! No Official Reason by @Myr - SO GOOD IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MOVIE! Undeliverable by @Ieshwar - SO GOOD! Gemma by @CassieQ - SO GOOD! Peeping Tom by @kbois - SO GOOD, I KNEW IT WAS YOU! The Ivory Fig Ceremony by @BendtedWreath - SO GOOD! Emptying the Library by @Gary L - SO GOOD! WAY TO GO! Unexpected Discovery by @Bill W - SO GOOD!

I tell ya, I've been trying to figure out by deduction which ones @Mikiesboy and @drsawzall wrote, and I still haven't gotten close. I think only one person pinned me to the correct story (not that I'm telling who). But others were pretty darn close. I'm just going to wait to see who really wrote what.

It's all good. @Lee Wilson's mind is just like mine and I thought the same thing when I first read it I just didn't say anything in the moment. 🤣Many of us are naughty here.

Using the same logic, I wrote about bodyguard and a singer 2 years ago and the only reason I know I didn't write No Official Reason is because it's longer than my usual. Or didn't I? 🤔

The only reason I think @CassieQ is cause the MC felt a little too convincingly normal up until the nightmares and murdering happened which reminded me of her entry from last year. I'm only 75% sure she wrote that one.

Don't know who wrote Wrong Window, but I am greatly amused everyone thinks I wrote it. I don't mind claiming that and Peeping Tom and The Ledger of the Howling Wind.

Crossed wires and crossed eyes!
