    As most of you folks know, I'm going to be on Whe.el of Fortun.e. The taping is this Friday and I desperately need your help. I plan on giving CF a shout out sometime during the show.

    Six shows will be taped, 5 of which will be themed "Gre.at North.west"

    I need you to help me find anything...phrases, landmarks, actors, anything to do with the Gre.at North.west.

    I've lived in Texas my entire life so I am counting on you guys. I've learned that any amount of themed research gives a HUGE leg up...

    I will donate five bucks to the tip jar if you say, on air, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" and/or throw up the kiss of death after solving a puzzle.

    If one of the puzzles was "My Life Starring Michael Keaton" I would immediately kill myself because life would not be worth continuing after witnessing such awesomeness.
