I hope everyone has there mini fridge, frisbee, and notebooks ready because on April 1st we are heading back to school! I am running this for the 7th or 8th year again with all new questions tied to our beloved Marx figures. There are prizes and the traveling trophy is once again up for grabs. Keep checking in over the next few days for details about the game, prizes, and what to expect.

Ok I traditionally start this on April Fools Day but work is not going to allow that this year so I am pushing it back until this Saturday. The game is as follows however! There will be two semesters with six classes (topics) consisting of five questions each. 1pt is the easiest and 5pts is the hardest. I will randomly bounce from topic to topic and degree of difficulty based on a really high tech system comprised of pulling questions out of a hat! All questions will be loosely related to some type of Marx action figure so questions can range from the Wild West to Knights to Safari to ETC.. I recommend to you look at Tom Heaton's books, Scott Stewart's website, Noah and Terris web store, and the series of Figure of the Month posts here on the ranch. Any Marx action figure is fair game! Once a question is answered correctly and I recognize it another question will be posted. The potential for zero to multiple questions in a day is there so check back often. The winners each semester will receive a CXR figure complete with gear, sadly no boxes! Runners up in each semester will receive an item from my personal collection which is yet to be determined, the cataloging continues! The Valedictorian will be receive the fabulous traveling trophy and how that is to be awarded is a secret! One hint, even if your not in contention either semester for a prize you still can win Valedictorian! Think of them as studying for a final exam. Rules, you got to have some or anarchy rules! One: Have Fun and Maybe Learn a thing or two. Two: First correct answer after the question is posted is awarded the points. In the event of a time tie (its happened) the first that is posted wins. Three: In the event of a debate the Dean (me) will have final say as to how points are awarded. If this is a problem see Rule 1! :^) Good Luck to all!

The first place prizes for each semester will be a Marshall Johnny West and a Sheriff Garrett figure from CXR with a deluze gear package. Whoever wins first semester will get there choice. 2nd place each semester may get to choose from several items! I am finding stuff I forgot I bought over the years. This part of the cataloging is fun, almost like Christmas!

Does anyone remember where the photo instructions were posted? I printed them and now can't find the sheet or the post it was under. Kind of need it for Johnny West University.
