Yeah, but he told me before he left.  Actually, I think he said so 
publicly on Mock the Week a couple weeks ago. :)

I did indeed. Loved the tug of war (we won), The marathon was a right 
muck up. And those damn colonists and their priapic flag.
Bad show that was.


Samantha is now confused and can't remember who's up next.
So let's get this straight and up front.
The current order is Jim next, little me then John. If he can stay awake.

As long as you don't get a rude awakening. :)

No way!! Look at Rule 349.5.7 You aren't in huff but unless you retract
that move and demonstrate (to Samantha's satisfaction) your re-entrant,
you will be.

Oh, I considered that, but if you look at rule 349.5.7(b), you'll see I 
get a pass because I used the diagonal.

Regardless, Samantha, as always, is satisfied.

Dammit, I missed that. Mind you, it is written in 8pt font as a footnote
on page 7000 of the book.

As she should be, dealing with a strapping lad like yourself.

Meanwhile, Stephen, Buzz! Hesitation
