Houston being an underdog looked fishy to me from the start.
I preferred to just stay away from this game.

When a trap is set, eat the cheese. Just stick to Stilton, avoid Kraft slices. :(

If he was
really trying to get over on all of us, he would have posted that pick as his -----> LOCK OF THE YEAR!
+3 for Troll#3, moving him up very close to the lead in our little contest here.

It was a loser, pops. Ask Phibes if you don’t believe me.
That’s why it’s a Grifter.

Yeah, that's right.
As with most everything that happens on the board, it should be run through the Office of Dr_Phibes before it is presented for mass consumption.
