A BIG Congrats to Pinhead on a well deserved win and also to gtho4 for such close competition.

As you can all see....this week's game is actually a two weeker...I've waited a long time to use this topic and this is the best time to do it...what with the actual games going on as we play. Hopefully we will have a few more players involved this time and a nice big welcome back to everyone who is joining us after their break....

I thought I'd start early this week to get 'us' in the mood.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Top 15 Problems Encountered Along the Olympic Torch Route ------------------------------------

15) Forward progress hampered by slow moving white Bronco.

14) Torch commandeered in Waco by over-zealous ATF agents.

13) One *really* p*ssed off Smokey the Bear.

12) Budget cuts cause torch to be replaced by less-than-dependable
Bic lighter.

11) Difficulty getting melted marshmellows off torch after "s'mores" party got out of hand.

10) Running 7 miles before realizing the torch is still on top of the urinal at the last rest stop.

9) First-degree burns to runners unfamiliar with how to "receive the baton."

8) Joe Bob, lying in wait on the outskirts of Memphis with a case of Bud and a supersoaker.

7) Rosie Ruiz takes flame in NYC -- appears 30 minutes later in Atlanta.

6) Drive-by goosings.

5) Torchbearers driven insane by repeated playing of the "Chariots of Fire" theme.

4) Torch-jackings in urban areas.

3) Crazed hippie terrorists replace Olympic Torch with new Olympic Bong.

2) Male runners repeatedly get lost and refuse to stop for directions.

and the Number 1 Problem Encountered Along the Olympic Torch Route...

1) Obnoxious drunks who run up and yell, "No, I meant a BUD light!"

I suppose 'Olympic Torch Runners' would be valid if the game stated 3 words are allowed...but as everyone knows...ONLY 2 words per entry.

If you meant the actual runners themselves....then no.

After this game, I think it is kaput for my snake career. As hard as I tried, I just can't make it in. However, these two weeks will be my last. Sorry for the disapointment, but I don't want to hold a timespot without playing. SO this will be my last week.

Congratulations Pingiggles!

Congratulations, Pinhead!! Wwll done.
And thanks for the humor this morning. I'm ROFLMAO!
Happy week - just a personal note: My son has been invited to join a student ambassador group next summer on their trip to (drum roll, here) AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, ETC.ETC.!! I can count on you Ozzies to show him a good time, can't I???? He's getting far more out of the Olympics than ever before - watching for places he'll see and things to know before he goes.

Hi Sypher! I have a question for you just to get it cleared up. Do the athletes´ names have to be surname first, first name last or is it player´s choice? Because all the ones posted so far are surname first...and I posted mine the other way around.
