Whoops.

Hey Clayton, is that "Whoops" or "Whoopee!" for winning the top spot in last week's author ranking. It was very close -- just 3 points between you, galwaywegian and petaj! Congrats to all! ~ James

purpleartichokes - 2007-07-02: 04:50:00
Congrats Clayton!! Where's the party?

Clayton - 2007-07-02: 05:20:00
Hey... I won?! Amazing! How the heck did that happen? I don't think I even had a single word that scored over 20 pts. last week.

Jabberwocky - 2007-07-02: 08:59:00
Never mind that bit - I'm with purple - where's the party? Since Galway and petaj were so close we could have an international one.

Clayton - 2007-07-02: 10:22:00
Listen, I haven't seen any of you guys throw a party following any of your wins. This is total bull$#!+
