J - *blinks* ...What? Did Father Steve submit that one? that's... no, no-no-no-no-no... no... no no...

...didn't say anything when Mav posted a pretty much exact same vote.

But it was Mav quoting tsuwm's guess, which, in fact, used the exact words "in fact", which I thought was *misleading enough.

Ahem.

Logwood is hereby awarded the Edgar Cayce Trophy for uncanny guessing in the field of Hogwash. The semi-annual prize includes an all-expenses-paid trip to scenic Hopkinsville, Kentucky, dinner for two at the historic Ed's Truck Stop, a $500 gift certificate redeemable at any Kentucky emergency room, two back stage passes to a live broadcast of "The Old Time Gospel Radio Hour and Farm Report" at the studios of WAJV in Princeton, KY, and this valuable trophy worth one point.

'sides, since I knew the ansewerŪ I deliberately offered no commentary until I thought all the participants had voted, and I too thought playful assertions of The Truth would be understood around here for just that. or not. maybe.
