Yeah. We did Steve (Sweet Shivers) Swisher and Vern (Hen Shit Cover) Hoscheit. We also had a GM (Bob Scheffing = Fobbing Chefs), an Owner (Joan Payson = Say "Noon", Jap) and an announcer (Gary Thorne = Her Gray Ton).

P.S. Your correct response eliminated Frayed Knot.

You're killing MetIrish. Irish can win only by running the board and beating JCL in the murderous bonus round.

Or Soylent Tan = Leroy Stanton

[metirish]

I ain't running anything , seven right in 3/4 days.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm off to see the B-Mets in Trenton in a little while. I'm wondering whether there will be anything left to solve when I get back.

This has been fun - thanks Mags!

Yeah, thanks. This was AG's idea, though. He also came up with my favorite anagram: Willie Randolph, A Downhill Peril.

True, but you expanded it into an obsessive vehicle

But I did it so you could catch up to the leaders.

[Guest themetfairy]

You caught me on a good day.

[Guest AG/DC]

Lunchbucket is on vacation, so I'll tie him and withdraw.

Coke Sprinter = Rick Peterson

We have an old-fashioned gentleman sportsman among us. I'll honor the mood by holding the dastardly murderous tie-breaking bonus round, if necessary, when everybody eligible is here.

It's Edgy's prerogative if he wants to stop and wait for Lunchbox's return. But I'm not that gallant. I don't know whether I'll solve any of the remaining ones, but if I can then I'm going full out.

[Guest themetfairy]

Sol! Argentina - Staiger/Nolan

="themetfairy"]Sol! Argentina - Staiger/Nolan

Hardball is Back as The MetFairy seizes the opportunity created by JCL's vacation and AG/DC's gentlemanly truce. All's Fairy in Love and War and Anagrams. Can The MetFairy deliver the winning blow? Will A/G return, now that Lunchbucket has been passed? Tune in.

How did this thread get to 9 pages, anyway?

Paul Siebert

A Pile Buster = Paul Siebert

[Guest themetfairy]

Gwreck beat me on that final point. By seconds, but fair and square.

[batmagadanleadoff]

="themetfairy"]A Pile Buster = Paul Siebert

Too late. But you win anyway. You backed in as GWreck wrecked it, first for MetIrish, then for Mendoza Line, then for HahnSolo, and then for everybody else. GWreck was the anagram wrecker.

Here are the FINAL standings:

14 MetFairy
13 JCLunchbucket
13 AG/DC
12 HahnSolo
9 Mendoza Line
8 GWreck
7 MetIrish
4 Met Hunter

You guys were great.

[Guest themetfairy]

Cool - it's hard keeping up with these guys in most competitions, so it's an unexpected thrill to have pulled this one out.

Thanks Mags - this was a lot of fun

Hey. I got more of these. I could make these up in my sleep. Just let me know and I'll do another contest.

[Guest themetfairy]

Perhaps once JCL is back from his travels.
