What I was sharing are actual events which to many of us were kinda funny. I thought it was a good story to share with people on Delphi.

Apparently I was wrong.

I now see why I stopped posting so much here.
Hey Andy, don't sweat it. I thought it was funny! If those other guys didn't get it, that is their problem.

p.s. however, I must caution against using my sense of humor as any sort of litmus test for good taste.

Re: I've got it figured out!!!

I reallly don't see how this falls into the same boat as Greg's, Greg went out and tricked people, very well I might add. No one, with more than a week of FIRST experience could have honestly saw the thread title and thought that Andy had legitimently figured out the entire game. Relax, enjoy the holidays and get ready for build season. I for one enjoy ridiculous speculation about what the game could be. If you don't then don't read any threads that come out between Atlanta and Kick off.

James

Hey, I thought it was funny. After the "Official Game Hint" thread, I figured this was another joke. Nice, funny, relaxing bedtime story. What's a Autowrench look like, anyway?

Funny, I heard from a very reliable source the official game piece was a Skip-It.

An autowrench well at least the black and decker one (I'm not sure about other brands version of an autowrench) looks and even feels like a wrench. Get this, its adjustable. You hit a button and it moves to how big it should be.

Re: I've got it figured out!!!

I really enjoyed Andy's insightful analysis and was ready to leave it at that, but then Dave had to weigh in:

Now, almost a day later, no one has begun interpreting, dissecting, attaching synonyms, re-interpreting or otherwise mangling Dave's wise words in an effort to find the hidden key to the game. I smell a conspiracy!
