Happy Thanksgiving

First and foremost, whether you can sit back and enjoy the cooking of others or have to work and make life better for others, I hope you have a pleasant day and a chance to gather with family or friends in the days to come.

This contest attracted 15 entrants, I think that's a record. The contest is to pick the total points scored by all six NFL teams on Thanksgiving. Here are the picks:

45 GregRulz

67 ChrisBlackburn

77 JennaChelle

87 Sheila618

90 bluebelle27

97 Spartan75

100 QuickSparrow14

117 71fraz

120 Pinksushi66

128 DiceDominatorOKC

129 azjim1

129 PenguinRnbwUnicorn

129 totallyquacky

142 Xray1989

157 alyssajandm

It seems as if every contest has a number that two or three people pick, and that's the case here. DiceDominator can only win if his pick is exact. I'll hold a tiebreaker if the total is 129-141.

Fun fact, if we had held this contest on Thanksgiving last year, the winning total would have been 141.*

Finally: Here's recent video of the Goofball Bros., dancing to one of our favorite songs:

AND THE WINNER IS....

To be determined. Sure enough, the combined final score of all six teams is 129, which three people picked, so we need a tiebreaker.

If you're one of the three winners, send me a private message, picking three numbers from 1 to 3, in order of preference.

If your first choice is 3, your second choice is 2 and your third choice is 1, message me with 3-2-1. Once two people have picked their three numbers, in order of preference, we can hold a tiebreaker.

AND THE WINNER IS!

That didn't take long.

Funny story, PenguinRnbwUnicorn and totallyquacky are two of our new team members, and are husband and wife. They both picked 129 without consultation. Logic suggests they should compare notes and pick two different numbers to give their household a better chance of winning. They didn't, and they ended up picking the exact same number.

We'll be spinning the roulette wheel to choose our winner. Each player will get one column. If the wheel hits 0, we spin again. totallyquacky was first to respond, and her first pick was 2, so she gets column 2.

PenguinRnbwUnicorn responded second. His first pick was 2, which was already taken, so we go to his second pick, which is 1. He gets column 1.

Fun fact: They both picked 2-1-3 as their order of preference. After 21 years of marriage, you think alike. That's the lesson we're learning from all of this.

azjim1 is out of town this weekend, so it's no surprise he wasn't quick to respond. He gets column 3 since that's the only column left.

If you are the winner, send me your name and address by private message.

With that, here's our winner.
