It's not over yet, but if you go back and read the whole thread from the beginning, it becomes very clear who the winner is going to be.

The given explanation is definitely what it is. And it holds water.

I just saw Shutter Island. I liked it very much. Not fair at all to lump it in with the MNS-formula-twist stuff. Also, I'm enjoying following the astro/fancypants discussion. Rope, Rebecca, Peeping Tom, Internal Affairs

BUMP. I read on another site that side-flash-Locke's alarm clock makes the exact same sound as the warning alarm in the hatch when there's only one minute left to punch in the numbers. Cool touch. I'll have to listen for that when I re-watch "The Substitute."

Take a look at the mysterious kid's face. That just has to be the young Jacob, dontha think?

I got it in 30 seconds.

Have fun, you kooky kooky bastards!

You guys joke, but have you ever had to deal with a frozen beerball? Not pleasant.

When I win this thing, I don't know how everybody will line up in the standings behind me, but I just want to say that you're all second place to me, in my heart. I mean that.

I think I'd give 30 different answers on 30 different days, but today it's… #1 #2 Honorable mention: Beatles (White Album)

They don't seem too worried.

So hot… want to touch the heiny.

Speaking of the hyper-commercialism, I had a sick thought: Consider the long-standing ritual of dumping Gatorade on the coach. Now consider the Gatorade reps that work to make it happen perfectly every year. There must be guys there on the sideline to make sure there's a full jug ready to go at the right time. And they are in touch with the network guys in the truck to make sure the cameras are cued up just right to get the perfect shot. Advertising like that is priceless. I have no doubt that the Gatorade corporation does all in their power to maintain this iconic image in the forefront of Americans' minds. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's something I hadn't really considered before and it made me feel a little dirty when I did think it through.

I think he looks better in this pic.

How many times do I have to win this crazy thing?

Amanda Peet? Really? I'd run up there at the last second and be her hero. Now, Angelina Jolie, she's definitely going over the edge.

Colts 38 Saints 25 Close right up to the end.

Whoopsy doodle. I'm the god &%$# muther&*$#-ing son of a $%&*-ing winner!

Don't call it a comeback Beerball been here for years Rockin his peers and puttin suckas in fear Makin the tears rain down like a MON-soon Listen to the bass go BOOM Explosion, overpowerin Over the competition, he's towerin Wreckin shop, when he drops these lyrics that'll make you call the cops Don't you dare stare, you betta move Don't ever compare Him to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced Competition's payin the price He's gonna knock you out (HUUUH!!!) Mama said knock you out (HUUUH!!!)

You're kickin' ass, Beerball! Keep it up. I'm so happy for you & your family! I think I told you to look out for that "Roman wilderness of pain" and the "mute nostril agony."

Thanks for the heads up!

Just go here. It's one of the photos listed. Save the image to your computer, then you can upload it as your new avatar.

Happy Birthday to some fine good gentlemen! And Bullpen too!

Give us some more of that good healin', Beerball!

Word to that! Absolutely. He means a lot to this place. It might look like all we do here is make smartass remarks--well, ok, that is all we do, but it's fun and that makes it important. Beerball makes it fun.
