Likewise.

8 Sheep in a row... I don't like being up at the top all the time, it just means the fall will be harder.

Three questions left. Homer leads from Builebeag by four points. Is it a two horse race or can someone make a late surge?

Aspiewriter takes over the bottom-but she's probably too busy shining her prized coin collection of euros to care!

I misread that as "way of the lever" and imagined you (i.e. Dot Warner) pulling a lever that opens some trapdoor that I fall into.

I've only had half a beer.
