Do you want me to let you know by email? Wait, I guess I'll just post it on Sunday. Just in case something happens, which I doubt it, I'll make sure to PM you my pick beforehand.

Now THAT, folks, is a righteous display of dedication to the cause - see how Stan knows that even if he were to be tragically knocked over by a bus in the next few days, it is of much greater importance that the GotW goes forth nonetheless. ;D

[psychofox]
