It's eight hours since I picked, so I suppose it's DV's turn now.

next time I run a tournament I'm gonna have a rule that cuts down on the amount of time you have for each pick by an hour every time you hit the max.

Let's just say regardless of whether or not chud would settle for a cup of coffee, I now have an idea of what he really needs.

Stip hasn't even updated the OP yet. I mean, Jesus! Next time he runs a tournament, we should have a rule that every time he fails to update the header post immediately after a pick comes in, he forfeits one of his previous selections.

Platy is skipped.


I've been back and forth between two songs and I really can't make up my mind. But I've got to choose something, so

pilgrimage used to rank towards the bottom of murmur for me, but lately I've been warming to it.

It's in the top half of Murmur for me. Those harmonies! That bass line! Two-headed cow!

The video here is pretty rough, but it's a great live version:

yeah, in retrospect I'm not sure what my issue with it ever was. I tend to like the faster stuff on murmur more than the mid-tempo. that's all I can think of

9-9 is definitely a favorite.
