ROUND 18 : Contest

[PovertyRow]

Thanks Nikos and UV for the awesome contest!

 

Yes! This was an amazing thing. The prizes are great but the whole experience surpasses them (at least I hope!).

 

Major kudos to Nikos and to UV for starting this!

Thanks to everyone for making this an entertaining contest. I've had a great time kicking around grading guesses with my teammates. And to FFB - sorry I was unable to check my e-mail in the closing hours - I would have talked you out of changing the grade from 7.5 to 8.0, but we won anyway!

[Red Hook]

Thanks everyone for making this fun! I'm just glad I was able to take part. I learned a lot... my grading is even a little better... still a longs ways to go though... Longl live team fear!

 

Remember Eddly, that's FEAR in capital letters! I really enjoyed sharing grades and ideas and my personal shame with Eddly, Aman and Flink. It was a gas! I learned alot!

I would like to take a moment to thank UV and Nikos for all their work and the awesome prizes!! VERY generous! You should both be sainted.

 

UV, I'm sorry, you'll have to be a lesser saint... but maybe you could be a fun one? Like St. Patrick? You'd have a special day where everyone gets drunk in your honor and Irishmen lament their potato-eating heritage?

 

I would also like to thank my teammates, the members of Ultimate Team_The Beyonder (whoever the hell they were), for a very marginal effort and a demonstrated inability to grade "The CGC Way".

 

Thus, in closing, I have prepared a little slideshow commemorating my team's (?) illustrious history and our prodigious accomplisments (?):

 

 

Ultimate Team The_Beyonder heads overseas for a little cheese, wine, and horsemeat hamburgers...

 

 

 

Ultimate Team The_Beyonder's loyal fan base-- so supportive!

 

 

 

A fallen angel...

 

 

 

Who could forget the Official Ultimate Team The_Beyonder Zeppelin?

 

 

 

Or the "Ultimate Team The_Beyonder The Movie" movie?

 

 

 

Yes, we will all bid a fond farewell to Ultimate Team The_Beyonder... Boys, we'll miss you like McRib.

Hmmmmm Ribwich..I mean McRib.....

 

I saw the other day that the Monopoly game was back at McDonalds... can McRib be far behind?!?!?!

On this very night, ten years ago, along this very stretch of road in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst accident I ever seen. There was this sound, like a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building... And when they pulled the driver's body from the twisted, burning wreck. It looked like this...

Yes sir...the worst accident I ever seen.

 

 

 

Be sure and tell 'em, Large Marge sent ya!

Good times-- thanks Sterling, DKB & MrWoogieman.

 

I'll add to all the well-deserved kudos to Nikos and UV-- with a personal extra added thanks to UV for reaching out to ask me to put my name in the hat to compete in the contest. Prior to this, I'd not been spending much time in the Grading forum, so I'd missed the first hundred or so posts on the subject.

 

Let's do it again.

 

Just not too soon.

 

Gotta get some real work done after the last couple of months of goofing off!

Congrats Nikos on a great contest. Nice work.
