If you ever get a video file of your appearances, please post the link. I wasn't able to see it because of the NYC preemption.

I'm working on it, goongas. I'll let you know when I've got it. Thanks for the kudos, Pyramid!

Peter --
Congratulations! I didn't get to see the first day either, but I was mightily impressed with your play on those big-money questions. I was right with you on the Rondeau question, but I don't know whether I would have had the guts to pull the trigger.
And how did you know the Bulwer-Lytton question? Everybody's familiar with Snoopy's literary exploits, but the worst-line contest isn't exactly common knowledge. Coincidentally, earlier this week USA TODAY reported on the results of the 2003 contest. For your amusement, here's the winning entry:
\"They had but one last remaining night together, so they embraced each other as tightly as that two-flavor entwined string cheese that is orange and yellowish-white, the orange probably being a bland Cheddar and the white . . . Mozzarella, although it could possibly be Provolone or just plain American, as it really doesn't taste distinctly dissimilar from the orange, yet they would have you believe it does by coloring it differently.\"
Anyway, great job. So, let's ask the cliche: What are you going to do with the money?

I'd have known that in a heartbeat, but that's because the annual contest was started by an English professor at San Jose State University, my alma mater. :)

Congratu-Freaking-Lations Peter is all I have to say, both for winning and keeping quiet about it for seven months :)
