Well, surprise, surprise! Like Michael Corleone in the Mafia, I thought I was done with the Barn Door, but I was pulled back in when Billy Warmth broke his foot (one of the few breakable parts on his amply-padded body). 15 teams did battle and Out of the Vortex returned to the top of the heap, one question ahead of the Wacky Corner. The Wacky Ones also won the Produce Prize of the Week: a bag of clementines. The Vortex have Wuzzle-loving Sam to thank for their win. Just Dumb Luck was happy with their third place finish. The J-Men and Just Bonin' Up tied for fourth, with the rolling Crimson Tide in sixth. R&R aced the first round, but then gently slid into seventh. Don't forget that the Door is closed for Labor Day, so Billy or a reasonable facsimile thereof will see you on the 14th! Thanks one more time to Gary, Kathy and Tammy for welcoming me!
