It'll all work out, the $100 was the tiebreaker.

No worries, let's see how tonight goes before anyone fusses too much.

I'm in a shitty mood to deal with this now anyway. Got ready to cook some mighty nice shrimp for
dinner and then DISASTER. Went to make the cocktail sauce and realized that I had no horseradish left.

Go to your nearest Meijer and pick up a bottle of St. Elmo's cocktail sauce. They sell it there now. Yes. I know the nearest Meijer for you is probably 50 miles away.

I made a damned fried egg sandwich.

Close - 54 miles to Gaylord, 78 miles to Bay City - but I kind of like mixing my own. Glen's has horseradish 2.5 miles away but I avoid single item runs if i can.

You get to set up the Final Four contest for me.

Come up with something so we can have another winner?

The Baklava Shop

Bump for Wakie - since we've heard no objections i declare you the winner.

Call or email them and order what you want.  Prize code is "Wakie".....then
they'll ship to you.

Limit is (1) of whatever you want - box of baklava, however they sell the
cookies, bars, rolls, etc. by the dozen/box/etc

Some sort of pick'em.....against the spread - with or without wagering .....Over/Unders....whatever you can come up with that would cover Saturday and Monday night.

Thanks Loose!

Pick Saturday winners against the spread and Monday winner with final score,  if we have a tie, guess my weight, without going over.
How about for a t-shirt?

Write the rules, start the thread....but how about we make it a hat or a Tee?

Here's a great hat

I might have to get one for myself, regardless

Report? Still worth using for future contests or not happy with them?

They arrived yesterday right after I had some ice cream. I’ll report back after I get home today. They look fantastic

I got some chocolate chip cookies btw (boring, I know)
