I also just realized what I just set myself up for by including the title of the potential thread in my last post. Please be merciful.

Okay that definitely HAS to be a record for most simulposts in a topic. That’s a lot better than saying the Dallas folks are a bunch of losers who have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than post to the same topic over and over.

Yeah, I like we’re going for a record much better.

OK. I’m really going to bed now.

Now, a summary of the evening.

We had fun.  
I owe Jim a beer.  
I owe Grace $20.  
Palmyra owes me a beer.

Did I miss anything?

You know you shouldn’t, but you just can’t help but hit refresh again.

I was just getting up and thought, “Hey. Hitting refresh one more time won’t hurt.”

I was wrong. Very wrong. I swear that I will not hit refresh one more time tonight. I am going to bed.
