Way to go MLD

"MLD takes a commanding lead!"

Congrats MLD on making it into the double digits!!

[ozmosis7]

I'm guessing all of the people between 5-7 are now checking ever 3 seconds to see if this list updates. And the lower numbers aren't out of this yet either.

[C.W. LaSart]

Do the polls close on the 29th? I can't wait to find out who wins.

And thank you C.W. - Your "severe wedgie" comment made me crack up in my local library. I got a shush delivered with a dirty look and everything.

Then I did my job

[Draven Ames]

I guess it must look very disturbing to see somebody scribbling in a notebook and snarking and giggling. Shit, if they only knew what I was writing. Hah!

I think the same thing when my kids are watching spongebob or something while I write.

"...and the trailing pack is now on the heals of the leaders! It's anyone's race..."

Oh, those moments are precious. I love it when something I read makes me laugh out loud in public. There are often very severe looks. I remember reading John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany and laughing on the BART train into San Francisco. That got a number of odd looks. More thrilling is when you’re writing something that makes you laugh out loud. I guess it must look very disturbing to see somebody scribbling in a notebook and snarking and giggling. Shit, if they only knew what I was writing. Hah!

Good luck, everybody. Read a few really impressive and inspiring stories.

[mstrom]

Sorry, mstrom, but we need racing lingo. Maybe something like... "It looks like The Dark Caller has been disconnected."

At this point, I'm almost glad I didn't make the finals. I can't imagine your stress. And with that long back stretch, you won't even round turn 3 until Monday.

Well I was just putting it in terms Craig could relate to.

[ozmosis7]

I still think this race could be anyone's personally. I predicted 65 votes, so let say we hit that. That means there are still 16 votes likely...maybe more. A lot can change with that many votes and the pack being so close like this. I don't want to make anyone nervous or anything. :P

[ozmosis7]

Wedgies for everyone! Damn, my wife actually got angry when I yanked her drawers up over her ears.

[Draven Ames]

I'm going to be flying out to PA in a couple of weeks to hang out with Nikki and some other friends...want me give her a wedgie for everyone? :P

Have a great trip.
