Morning Discussion

Good morning, Shacknews. How are we doing today?

Five minutes of staring at a blinking cursor, and that's all I can come up. There were some false starts here and there--something about a Nintendo DSi, something about Henry Hatsworth, something about dinosaurs--but they didn't really work out too well.

And without any transition whatsoever, I will add that the new Handsome Furs album isn't bad. Maybe not as good as the first album--I haven't decided--but definitely not bad.

    reposted by popular demand

    Well, the Big Dance is over. Which means that some lucky Shackers (and a co-worker of mine, in this case) get some money! We had the largest pool ever, with a total of $155.82 to hand out to the winners.

    1 Big Sky Power - 165 pts - $93.49 (cltcprd)
    2 neelu - 138 pts - $46.75 (co-worker)
    3 Wewt! - 132 pts - $15.58 (PointlesS76 - I think)

    Will the winners please Shackmessage me and confirm what Paypal address I should use to send them their money? Congratulations, everyone.

            i doubt you picked them to the final four, so in the grand scheme of things i bet you their loss didn't affect your scoring as much as you think

            and if you picked them to the elite eight or final four then that was dumb

              Actually, I did pick them into the Final Four. The Shack pool was my smallest buy-in, so I made it my "fun" bracket, picking what I wanted to see rather than what I thought would happen.

            I hated Yahoo's implementation of the picks. Just let me do it all on one fucking screen please and not have to go through all the steps for each region.
