From what I added up by hand, that -2400 was not counted in the chicks total.

Congrats on the win against us dudes.


But this dude will put in a full month (except some vacation days) this September.

My aching fingers can attest
Major work in this contest
But the effort was naught
the battle was fought
and chicks came out the best....

Statistics are like prisoners, torture them enough and they'll say anything.

The major benefit of these fun contests is that it probably gets some of us to the piano bench when we otherwise wouldn't be there. I know that for myself, while I clocked small amounts of time, I probably wouldn't have played at all. But, in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "The Chicks need minutes!" So, even though I was out of town this weekend, worked weekdays, and had meetings or activities every night this week, I did sit down for short periods to play instead of going to bed. Sleep is over-rated, isn't it?

Good morning Chicks and Dudes,

Hey, terrific contest, everyone! Great fun, especially the down to the wire finish ! Chicks, you rock-- and Dudes, you gave us (me!) a real scare there at the end, prompting a marathon evening at the piano. Way to go, everyone!

gmm1, those were priceless posts!!

As for "truncating" data-- well I guess we could argue that without Ruth, Gehrig and Mantle the Yankees would not have won all those games but... they did! So Kathleen, don't go anywhere, we need you!

I have a feeling the Dudes are going to come out strong in Sept, so, let's play on...

best to all,

Sophia

Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes

btw the above doesn't compromise my "gracious gentleman" standing does it?

Let's just say it's typical of the usual Monster M&H style. (How's THAT for an ambiguous response? )

I'm not planning on going anywhere.

Unless I get arrested by the poetry policemen and sent off to jail where I have to listen to Dr. Seuss (sp?) all day.

Very well put...touché

Kathleen,

Keep up the limericks ... and no apologies needed. All in good fun.

I'm a little late entering this thread, but I have to say congratulations to the chicks.

At the end of the day, you posted more minutes, so hats off to you
