The Wombat File Is Yours to Keep

A number of our unfortunate readers have recently received a junk-filter-ready missive from Quiz Central...determined as we are to bring the Greater Wombat File Community into the big tent o' trivia that is the Q.U.I.Z., I've e-mailed a number of our more prominent lurkers and neo-lurkers (not to be confused with neoconservatives, although I'm pretty sure that "The Lady B. Yogurt" is really Wolfowitz), asking, begging, pleading with them to throw their collective hats into the ring.

Because there's nothing better than a ring full of hats. Especially collective ones.

So, as we wait for these mighty minds to bestow upon us the news of their participation in the upcoming Quiztivities, I thought I would note that we have a roster of players so far committed which easily supports three teams, and -- when added to what I hope will be a flood of late entries -- should stretch to at least four, if not five squads.

The first round of questions is shaping up nicely. As a teaser, I'll mention that one of them is the result of my pursuit of a good question about the third-largest city in Tennessee. I didn't wind up with one, but found something even better.
