Actually, I placed mug awkwardly in the cupboard (kinda leaning against two other mugs), the bugger rolled, fell out of the cupboard, nearly smashed my favorite pan-lid (left a very, very small crack instead), then finally smashed and fell into the dishwasher. I smacked my head as I bent down to the other-side of the dishwasher to pick up a rather sharp piece. Whacked head on the way down.

Most impressed with myself. Now my head is actually quite painful, and I still have a crick in my neck, making it an over all enjoyable experience.

You know; if you could combine your apititude for cooking with this kind of physical comedy and televise it, you might be able to make some cash.

May want to hire a stunt-cranium. . . just in case.

All done Took longer than last time because I paused for cheese and crackers.

Also done reviewing.
As others have said, really close calls on these.

Makes you wanna give them all a "Thumbs Sideways."

Maybe we should post the scores tonight instead of tomorrow - since everyone seems to be done. It'll let us get back on schedule a little bit, anyway.

Same. I did the reviews first, then waited a few hours to get my votes down. I had to think about it for awhile.

Nice reviews. And so begins the finals.

[ASGetty ((Zovo))]

Wow, when you said you were running low on reviews you weren't kidding.
Since I knnow Ref and I submitted reviews -after- you asked, and each piece only got 3 reviews, tis means that only 1 other person reviewed anything. . . or 2 if they both happened to have written in the other match-up.

Which brings us to a grand total of no more than 6 reviewers assuming everyone who reviewed also wrote, but that would make for three bouts and we only had two. So were looking at a total of 5 reviewers, tops if and only if 4 of them actually wrote this week. If they didn't all write, then less than four people reviewed.

That's a little sad.

[Jenny (Reffy)]

^ ^ ^ What Zovo said! Tis a little sad. No wonder the reviewing deadline had to be postponed for another 24 hours.

Could be as little as 3 reviewers in the grand scheme of things. Pretty pathetic guys!

Lazy little bastards, I say

[The Drall]

I reviewed, but for some reason one of my reviews isn't there. I believe it's Semi Final A, Entry 1? Eh, whatever.

And I'm pretty sure Tam reviewed, and you two...

But yeah. Seriously. We really need to get almost the entire forum reviewing for the finals. A winner shouldn't be decided based on two people's opinions.

[The Drall]

Double post.

We should make the reviewing period for the finals longer, and we should REALLY try to get everyone involved. I think, unless something important is happening, that everyone who participated in the Arena should be reviewing and voting for this. That means you, Schro. Everyone.

We also should try to get the people who didn't participate. Hell, if Agro wants, he can review and vote as well.

I'd say we should have AT LEAST 10 reviewers. At least.

[tamwyn]

Sucks for the people who were in the semi finals, though, I guess. Who knows how different things would be had more people reviewed. Ah well, I agree with Drall, let's make the finals big, at least.
