```auto Thanks for playing! Thanks for a fun one, **bmoak**. I'm going to post the next one, but today we are getting a new system - instead of Comcast we'll have AT&T U-verse. Hopefully there wont be complications. Also, some of you might have heard of this storm Ike bearing down on Houston. That's where I am. I might not be back for a while. :eek: Nah, we'll be fine. I might die from Feud withdrawal, though. ;) **1. Miller 414.00 1. bmoak 414.00 ** 3. Waenara 412.00 4. Tengu 410.00 5. swampbear 402.00 6. delphica 396.00 7. MadTheSwine 392.00 8.
