hmm. don't know what to tell ya. i got 4th (by one measly point, no less) in the beginner category at stone gardens and i won myself a pretty slick chalkbag there.
i see plenty of people spend $30 on a night of getting drunk and all they have to show for it is a headache the next morning. just depends on your definition of fun and what it's worth to ya.
btw, i didn't say anyone who wants to take me on a date has to be able to pull v12. that would just automatically qualify you. and that said, i do like think my standards are fairly high. no reason for them not to be!
