if i come outta this alive, i'll be in like 17 different pieces. i just hope my mental quickness and creativity holds up through this whole round. and it seems as if two people who got out in the first round are in the third round. if one of them makes it to the finals...well we'll discuss than. for now, i'm lookin to stomp on some toes.....<P>the abbot has spoken.

First off... last round- culture... thanks for the battle... you know none of that was personal. you're i!! <BR>Secondly...
