Notes from the Week
|
Round One's big winner was the 2004 GoBoilers.com Tournament of Childhood Toys and Games, placing six of its eight teams into Round Two. Only extraordinary efforts by tournament favorites The Joker and Nacho Cheese kept it from a perfect Round One. On the other end of the spectrum, the 2005 GoBoilers.com Tournament of United States Vice Presidents and Match Game Panelists and the 2006 GoBoilers.com Tournament of Office Supplies managed only two teams each in Round Two. With the banners left to be carried by Computer, Nipsey Russell, Post-Its, and Charles Nelson Reilly, these two could soon be drawing a _______. After losing to "I know nothing!" AND Bill Walton in Round One, Theodore Roosevelt moves into sole possession of second place for the most losses in GoBoilers.com Voting for Stupid Stuff History with three. First place? Bill Walton with a seemingly untouchable eight. But never, Walton reminds you, two in the same year. Walton is not one to speak softly. In the week of the cat, SIX cats moved on to Round Two: Meriweather, Kitt, Newmar, Cradle, Nipsey Russell, and Ketchup on behalf of unrepresented brother Catsup. Will all six land on their feet in the Sweet Sixteen? It's up to you! |

If you like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain ... you must not have voted. Thanks for nothing. -- Escape: the Pina Colada Song I'm not a big fan of gently vibrating the Charmin either. -- Mr. Whipple We knew if we could take it inside, we'd have a great shot. Have you ever seen a laser printer be effective with bacon inside it? -- Bacon Wamp, wamp, waaaaaa. -- Bugles |
