And the Winners are…

I hope everyone enjoyed watching the game yesterday! At our house we had lots of fun, except for the part where our cable went out and we had to go out to the car to listen in on the radio (most of half time and the third quarter). Made things memorable though!
Overall we had thirteen different people win a total of nineteen candy bars. Abby took the top spot, with three, while Ashley Rae, David, Marilynn and Randall all got two each. Winnings are on their way!
FYI: the most requested candy this year was M&M’s, followed by Snickers and Twix. Yet, with the winners there was quite a variety. As you may expect, we’ll be sending out four M&M’s and three Snickers (four if you count the Snickers Almond along with them), but from there we’re all over the map. We’re sending out a Reese’s, a Milky Way, a Baby Ruth, a Skittles, a Kit Kat, a Take Five, a 100 Grand, two Charleston Chews (chocolate) and two Butterfingers.

One of my favorite holiday movies is “Scrooged,” Bill Murray’s take on the classic story of Scrooge. Those of you who’ve seen “Scrooged” will undoubtedly remember one of my favorite characters, Eliot Loudermilk, the employee that gets fired for telling Bill Murray that his offensive ad campaign really does suck. Eliot is played by Bobcat Goldthwait. Those of us of an older generation will remember Bobcat as a very, very offbeat stand up comedian.
The first few scenes of “World’s Greatest Dad” are pretty uncomfortable and a little difficult to watch. The story is of a single father, Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) and his teenage son. Lance is a high school poetry teacher, the son an insufferable jackass. Really. The son treats his father, and his own friends (or friend), about as bad as they could be treated. The uncomfortable scenes culminate about a third of the way in with a dreadful tragedy, in a scene masterfully acted by Robin Williams.
Deadline for submission is midnight PST on Wednesday, February 3rd. Keep in mind, however, that once the grid is full, no more entries will be accepted, so do not delay. The number of participants we have will determine how many squares each person will get, and if we have extra squares left over, they will be assigned to participants in the order we hear from you.
The object of this game is to win candy bars. To do this, you will be assigned a square on a grid which corresponds with a possible game score. If the numbers for your square match the game score, you win. Payouts are given on each score change and every score change is worth a candy bar regardless of how many times the score has changed during the quarter. This is similar to a common office pool with the following major exception: Participants don’t buy squares or send in any money. They just get the chance to win. Craig & Kristin supply the prizes.
