   Answer that made Trip feel "cool"-Jason Shatz answer to #41(fav Trip thing) -"His willingness to discuss the social problems that face young Americans..and the fact that he exposed me to the evil 'devil music' of Metallica at a young age."

   Most cool common mistake-Mistaking Mr. Bob Dylan's words with Trips...haha!! I am awesome!

      For those of you who would like to know- here's is how I judged the various entries-1 point for each correct answer-one half point for each partially correct answer--and up to seven points on question #41(hey! its my contest!!!)

     Ok, now we have to the moment you all have been waiting for....Here is the breakdown of number of answers correct by each participant...

             Libby-21 and a half (19 plus 4 points for her "Trip loves me even though I am no good at this stuff"                     answer-one and a half points deducted for lack of effort and her coments regarding a certain "white                   trash's eyes")

             Misty(1st Entry-I would have accepted two except I had told u most of those answers--I gotta be                        fair..)-23 and a half (19 and a half for the answers-plus four for her "I never know what Trip                               will do" answer

             Courtney- 29(answers correct)

              Kandi-29(answers correct)

Now, this leaves Trip a very very difficult decision..Who had the best, most deserving answer to the all-important #41? Well here they are-
Courtney-"I hate to disappoint you Trip, but I cant decide..you have SO many likeable qualities.."

Kandi-"TRIP IS THE COOLEST GUY I HAVE EVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFETIME....TRIP REIGNS SUPREME!!!!!!!!!!"

Hmmm...this is a tough one...Well, since Courtney basically AVOIDED the question and attempted to gain vital information from my sister-Katee..and the fact that Kandi's answer was definitely the BEST answer I received here is your winner with 29 correct and ALL SEVEN BONUS POINTS with a total of 36 POINTS -KANDI!!
