    Must I be runner-up in EVERY BBS contest I enter (or workplace contest, too)? :mad: Man, I'm like the Buffalo Bills of the early 90s (or possibly the 90s Atlanta Braves). Couple this sordid affair with the Best Poster Tournament, my second place fantasy baseball finish at work, my second place March Madness finish (at work), and my second place pick-out-of-a-hat baseball finish (at work), and it seems I'm cursed. I'm well on my way to finishing second in fantasy basketball, too (although right now I'm #1). I'm not second-to-none; I'm second-to-ONE...

    Yep, that was pretty sad, HeyP. Now I know how Bill Buckner feels... :)

    btw: I have a new game I'd like to suggest. "Word of the Day Game."

    We use a Word of the Day site to give us one each day. You have to use that word in a sentence in the Rockets Forum each day. It has to be on topic in that forum, or at least on topic enough not to annoy the admins. hehe

    This game won't really have winners or losers, just a fun game to see if you can use the Word of the Day in a Rockets context. I think it would freak out some of the people in the Rockets Forum who never come here. They'd be thinking: Why the hell are so many people using some obsure word?

    LOL

    Maybe we could score the game by having weekly voting on who used each word in the coolest manner.

    Yo VesceySux, last night in obedience school, we played this game where you walk with your dog around some chairs, then when the music stops you sit in one of the chairs and get your dog to sit as fast as it can. My dog won a bag of dog treats...

    See, even my DOG can win something! Second place sucks, huh? :D

    There's actually a thread going in the Rockets G&RM's forum that is a couple dozen posts larger than this one.

    The longest one is a 580 post monstrosity, the game sticky from the February Rockets/Lakers game.
