I'm still 6-7 eps behind this month on the DVR, but I click the middle of the thread to find out how I think I'm doing through the middle of the month and like 8 of you fuckers haven't missed one.

You people are the fucking worst. Stop crushing my dreams of being on this show.

Unless Rex ran off the last six, congrats Carwash, strong play.

If you regularly read the daily paper or watched the evening news, I suppose you'd catch that bit of 2 inch growth trivia.

Missed the last 3. Love the growth spurt question, super interesting fact, my brain just didn't go there. Should have known the college. Stupid.

No. Because I would win, with no misses. Because they are in reruns all month.

Mid September, we'll reconvene.
