Congratulations to Tony Soprano's School of Waste
Management--Biff DeBris aka Dave Murphy, Tony Soprano aka Brian Hight, Hesh
Nutboy aka Jason Schwengler and Partho aka Chris Taylor--for going undefeated
through the round robin and subsequent double elimination playoffs to take this
years Fog Hat. The team also won Iron Chefs magnets, Foghat signature
guitar picks, the Dr. Laura board game and framed...ahem, "special" pictures of Dr. Laura tastefully
edited by yours truly.
The Third -gry Word (Missouri-Columbia A) took second and
won a Battlefield Earth Terl action figure, Battlebots keychains and Iron Chefs
stickers. Wichita State Alums took third and won a Crocodile Hunter
hand-held video game, Futurama clickers and Iron Chefs bookmarks. Jesus
and the Doombots (who later somehow morphed into Jesus and the Jewbots) won an
Iron Chefs poster and Star Wars Episode 1 super balls.

Three teams successfully "blocked" a punted bonus
and these teams--3rd Gry Word, Wichita State Alums and Scientology
Wow--received an "official" flick football game, NFL pens and unused
(obviously) St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup tickets respectively.
"Hairy Spice" was leading scorer for the tournament and a first time
trash player and was thus obviously rookie of the year and received the Junior
Novelization of Galaxy Quest.
Thanks are very much in order to Ben Lea for stellar
assistant tournament directing and sport questions, to the Berkeley team for
contributing 2 1/2 packets, to Paul Nelson for filling in with moderating,
statkeeping and food delivery as needed, to Malcolm Hays for moderating and to
Nathan Mundis, Matt Griffith and Brenda Driver for assisting early in the day
and helping get us off to a good start.
