Summer Sheep 2014 official thread

Copperpot graciously cleaned up my foul entries.

What I submitted was "The Gnome (Mitch Albom)"

The other edit was my "cranfuckingberry" became simply "cran".

 

Many thanks to Copperpot and Amy for another excellent season of Sheep!

 

The first answer was actually "We're all winners!" as an ode to the Seinfeld character rooting on the NY Marathon runners at the end of an episode in first season. I think it's the one where George tries to convince Jerry to take a sweet new apartment only to realize how sweet it would have been for himself, and hilarity ensues.

 

I am going to paraphrase a famous Tim, although no one chose him as an answer to question 4:

You have fought the good fight,
you have finished the race,
you have kept the faith

(2 Timothy 4:7, sort of)

Thanks to all who played this season.

 

Always sad when Sheep season ends. Now I can only obsess over Words With Friends and Candy Crush.

Kudos, as always, the Copperpot and Amy for their efforts.

Looks like cran was almost perfect to wrap the title up. Nice job.

And thanks to copperpot and Amy for another fun season. Always enjoy it.

 

It is interesting that in the final week, four people dropped, including three whose handles start with the letter "M"

 

Per Amy:

It all came down to Seinfeld. For nmmetsfan, there actually was something wrong with that.

Congrats Cranberry. It took a near-perfect week to bring home the title and you did it.

As for me, I am happy with seventh place for two reasons. . .

1. I was 21st three weeks ago and finished strong.

2. I am higher than Killick (again).

The you Copperpot and Amy for hosting. . . . bring on "Fall Sheep 2014"

 

Somewhere in the middle of the pack ... I'll take that after all my 1-pointers.

And congrats to cranberry for proving (most of) us right.

Finally, another big thank you to copperpot and amy for shepherding the flock and compiling its goofy answers.

 

I love that the game was so close until the end and that both nmmetsfan and I finished with strong weeks. Can't ask for much more than that. Thank you nmmetsfan. It's all about the competition.

Competition which wouldn't happen season after season if not for the time and efforts of Copperpot and Amy. I appreciate that you guys do this for us.

Can't wait for the next session of Sheep.
