I can honestly say I would have used exactly the same lifelines in exactly the same places. Amazing!
I can't believe I won the FF by 0.04 seconds! And over Xann, aww. She was great back in the green room, all bouncy and full of energy. She seems like a natural to get a shot at SyndiBAM. I saw that Liz has already gotten her call, no surprise there.

Gosh--that was fun and exciting to watch. Great job! I can't wait until Sunday.
---I've been away from the Bored for awhile now, and I've just got to ask about something I'm sure you've explained before... What is the basis for your Bored handle? I'm guessing the hardware has to do with computer hardware, but the Mike?
Thanks for indulging me!

He actually explained it in his Super Millionaire thread. In his winning entry to the detective category of the Bulwer-Lytton contest, his protagonist was named Mike Hardware. Until I saw that a couple of days ago, I thought he had been some kind of a fancy A-V guy. --Bob

None. The guys in the image on the back of the $2 bill weren't Presidents yet...

And Jefferson was the President of his local "He-Man Woman Haters Club" when he was 9, but those don't exactly count...

Anyone notice how Clem said, at the end of the PAF call, "Go get 'em Mike!"
I have expected Regis to comment on it, "Did he just call you Mike?"
Yay Eddie, and Yay, Clem!

I remember hearing that line and did not notice anything 'wrong' or 'peculiar' with it. That goes with knowing Eddie as 'Mike Hardware' here for so long.

Now, now, now...I am sure you are over the near-barfage by now. Somewhere down the line you will remember why you did this and you will know that it is time to do it again.
Excellent job!
