49th place? I have no excuse for my poor performance and accept full responsibility.
My First Last Place!* My only solace is that I’m not inclined to think of excuses most others would, which makes mine more believable in the long run!
*Don’t know that for sure; wouldn’t surprise me if I’m wrong on that count
If only we had some person on this board who was designated to keep records…
thank you jesus for letting me beat the WORM
Ninth! Woohoo!
But what does this say about me as a person, that I have so many excuses…?
Craptacular!
I’m top 40 and yet I still fail to beat most of the regular basement dwellers 
At least I totally pwned Gonzo, as he was to late (wonder if he got stuck in a snow storm?)
I would have crushes the Worm between my toes. I looked at the list and when I did not see my name in the first 2 or 3 I knew I did not get in. I didn’t think Worm using a volcano for a being late excuse would play well.
Why are you speeding…outrunning pyroclastic flow of course
Late…Volcano blew up my garage
Where’s homework-…Volcano fried my dog while he was eating it
