And that's it. The hole shebang. The hole salami. The holiest of holies. Holy Week concludes with a bang, and with the answers to our Hole-based quiz. Tune in tomorrow when a new quiz will show up, and we go once more into the breach. Which is like a hole.

Also, for those of you worried that you're doing this wrong, you're not. The 'subject line' can be used for whatever purpose; you can put your alias or name or identifying sigils there so we know who you are. Or you can leave it blank and put that in the body of the comment. Anything works. Want to include pictures in your answers? Use the html code! Don't know the actual answers? Who cares? Just say what's on your mind. Make something up. Tell us about your dog and that time he bit you on the butt cheek. It's all good!
