I must say, I'm surprised Arnie didn't make the cut.  
  Enjoying the nonpareil TwoDot apple full of BBF.  'Bout bedtime.  BTW, I did indeed steal a draw in that game!  I offered a draw, he refused, he diddled for a few moves, then (perhaps unwittingly) repeated the same position three times.  For the first time in my life I CLAIMED a draw!

Congratulatons!  
His refusal must make it sweeter.  What's next, the Inter-zonals?
I had a choice, Arnold Palmer or Rod Laver.  I think I made my point

							I smoked Blakeneys Best Bayou Slice in a MM last night.  Tried stacking the guillotined slices in the bowl and firing it up.  Fought the first half staying lit, second half came into it's own.  Tonight I rubbed it and things are looking up.  It's a dank, toasty smoke.
