I'm just betting this is the only board in the world that would elevate Warm Gun above In My Life.

Re: Final Round 8
Not my ranked choice, but on the other hand it shouldn't be a strike against the group for being unconventional. I expect TNK to get the boot in the next round or the one after, but I will raise an eyebrow if SFF doesn't make the final 3.

in my heart, i want a TNK vs HiaWG finale, which almost certainly won't happen, but I'm happy to try.

Do we really want Heston's suicide on our hands?

Don't worry, it won't happen. When you go, my hands will be around your throat.
