Week 5 TBone Attendance Bonus:

Played all 5 games (5 points) - Krox, BiT, frank, Weasel, ear, elwood, Search, jarnon, melly, Vandal, mikeh, Hottie, Sprots, Earl, mrk

Played 4 games (3 points) - None

Played 3 games (1 point) - Panic


Perfect Attendance Bonus:

12 players managed to run the "gauntlet" of 25 games over 5 weeks without ever having to call in sick! A bonus 10 points for the following players:

Krox (12th PAB, and 11th year in a row)
BiT (4th PAB, first since three in a row 2016-18)
frank (14th PAB, every season since 2011)
Weasel (14th PAB, ditto above)
ear (4th PAB, all in the 2020's)
elwood (10th PAB, first since 2018)
Search (8th PAB, ditto above)
melly (7th PAB, first since 2020)
Vandal (15th PAB, every year since 2010, current Cal Ripken of the LSWE at 485 consecutive games played an counting!)
mikeh (3rd PAB, second in a row. Only other came in 2013 when only 7 players made it to the finish line perect)
Hottie (10th PAB, 8th in a row)
mrk (2nd PAB, only other year was the very first LSWE in 2008!)


The Shithouse Rats Award:

Poor Sprots had to endure more abuse from me than almost any other LSWE player since ghost used to play back in the early days. So even though she stunk up the joint, and came up with a billion lame excuses for why she couldn't post an Image Bonus without sending me to shady websites, I'm going to give her the 10 point SRA for 2025. Don't forget to scritch the Rocky Mountain polar bear that delivers the trophy to your door...


Past SRA Winners:

2009 - elwood
2010 - Jessie
2011 - clem
2012 - Vandal
2013 - frank
2014 - frank and Jessie
2015 - Beebs
2016 - Lizbit and BeBe
2017 - Esto
2018 - Beebs
2019 - Krox
2020 - Anon
2021 - Weasel
2023 - Weasel
2024 - mikehardware


And so..... after 17 (seventeen!!!) LSWE runs now, we finally have our fourth new champion! The previous sixteen contests were all claimed by either Earl (7 times), Esto (5 times) or TBone (4 times). And with the latter two no longer playing for different reasons, it was only a matter of time before someone took advantage of Earl's tendency to miss a game or two. After coming up short in the incredible four-way race that went down to the final game in 2008, mrkelley finally perseveres to take his first Lyrcially Speaking Winter Extravaganza crown! Congratulations to him!!! And a big thank you to everyone who played this year! Hopefully we'll be able to do this again next winter....

I WON!!!

Persistence pays off!

Sorry I didn't post anything earlier, it's been a rather intense week here. But thank you, lb, for another fantastic contest. It was more luck than anything that I managed to show up for all the games, and a couple of them barely got in under the wire there toward the end.

LSWE forever!
