A useless item one might find at a garage sale or fleamarket: an ancient magical artifact that gets you great deals at flea markets

If I vote for andydougan, does that mean he's gotta stop talking about you-know-where for a day?

no? well, he gets my vote anyway.

When they invent BookFace, I'm -there-.

Though it pains me to vote against a fellow person from you-know-where , i have to vote for EVIL_D

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

My rule getting used almost makes up for my defeat. Congrats, evil_d. I thought I had it in the bag after the first four votes ;)

So did I. Good match.

a famous historical natural disaster: the eruption of Vesuvius
a medical specialty: rocket surgery

Haven't got any interesting ideas for the other two.

---
The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Wow, that was close! Here is the latest chart.

Request: If things go according to schedule, the fuzzyman/lara7 match will begin Wednesday evening, exactly when I will be leaving for the Thanksgiving holiday (not returning until late on Friday... which then gets us into the weekend). Could we start that match on Friday night instead of Wednesday? (maybe have a Thanksgiving hiatus?)
