Greg...in short, NO. This isn't the "norm". You blasted onto the scene smackin' homers. This is roughly my 12th TD, and you've gotten more votes in your first than I think I've gotten in over a year, lol.
Everyone here is amazing...any one of these guys and gals could enter their creations in local comps, and level the place. Anyone here getting voted into the top half are wizards. The winners are gods. Unless Scovie wins. Then, it's a simple case of one guy strong-arming, threatening, and tricking the others. He's twisted, you know...eggs...all the damn time. Think about it...who the hell has 50+ eggs in their personal fridge at any given time...besides Scovie? and me...
Your pie and ideas are awesome...keep it comin'!
