You've got plenty of points now anyway.

Ok, scoring update:

and etc.

At the end of the work day I may post one more of those helpers.

 

So that's it? It's over? Nobody came in after I left work and moved me out of second place!

Woohoo!!

 

Well, it ends up as I lasted posted it.

So the prizes I set up before go to:
1st Place: JediJeff13
2nd Place: JediAutobot
3rd Place: Darth Athena

CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!

And there WILL be consolation prizes to the other two participants, Mos Eisleian Radio and JediGemini. AND, ALL the prize winners are going to get something EXTRA with their packages also.

I have email addresses for everyone except Darth Athena. DA, check my profile for my email addy and forward yours to me and we'll work out getting your prizes to you. Everyone else is in the Chicago region, so I'll be asking for mailing addresses. I REALLY don't want to hang to this stuff until DragonCon! But I'll get with y'all 'bout that thru email.

 

Do I revel my secret now?

 

or REVEAL - depends if you like my spelling.

 

Well, reveAl your "secret" if you like, but 6 months from now if I run this game again, don't blame me if you lose!

 

My guess is that JJ's secret is the Internet Movie Database and lots and lots of time to goof off at work.

 

Well, IMDb is wonderful, but not much of a secret! I figure there is no secret, and he's just being a tease. (Note: there is ample precedence for this theory!)

 

Well, of course IMDB, but that thng isn't very searchable - at least not in linking two actors........or is it?

Well, we won't be playing THIS game again very soon!

Oh, well, at least now we know that JJ doesn't waste quite as much time as we thought while at work!
