Congratulations, @don_fabio, for the mid point lead. Also, honorable mention for @britbox 's enormous late effort so he made it to at least appear on the list. Two days ago we had to e-mail the site organizers to keep track of his position.

Thanks. Riding high at the moment with all eyes on Nick tomorrow. It might be the most brilliant pick ever or just a stupid wish that did not come true.

Any updates to share with us @mrzz ?

I was trying to preserve the integrity of our two fellow posters that are a victim of pagination and do not even appear on the list, but you were insensitive enough to ask. Maybe you just think this is not a big deal since it happened to you so often.... I don't know the feeling so it seems horrible to me.

I dropped off of page 1 in this one, too!

See, the rudeness and bigotry of @britbox has no limits, he was clearly trying to subtly bully @AnonymousFan and @Moxie . We should not accept that. For now on, it is #cancelBritbox

Your wokeness has no bounds @mrzz. But you are wrong in this case. I have proposed to the admins that @Moxie and @AnonymousFan get their own subforum safe spaces that only they can view and post in.

Clearly you are PoorDrawChallengeResults-phobic... and I'm calling you out on this shameful behaviour.

 

[mrzz]

Yes, I can out-woke anyone. But I am a new kind of woke, I am woke-woke, which means we are the woke among the woke, also in honor of an ancient people who lived in a forgotten archipelago in the middle of a lake inside a desert surrounded by swamps in south-east west new Oceania, called the uoki-uoki. They have been enslaved and slaughtered by a people who by its turn were enslaved by the unhabitants of north-south Borneo, who in turn were killed by privileged white males.

Just like you. In fact, all of them had monikers like BritBob.

I don't think you are doing yourself justice here @mrzz - you will never be one of the forgotten people. Your achievements will live on long after you have passed.

Only yesterday, The people who run the Draw Challenge were asking where to send your certificate for 17th place. See? Nobody forgets!

I advised that you were already shuffling things around in the family trophy cabinet, and had decided upon a position between the 5-metre swimming badge and the certificate you got for finishing 6th in the 200m at high school.

"Cool, but where do we send it?" they asked.

"Oh, just send it to the red man's mansion in Brazil. It'll get there."

"Red man's mansion??"

I had to explain. The background to this story is that annually (every June), @mrzz and his family engage in a family competition to see who can last longest on the Bucking Bronco at a local funfair.

It's a serious affair, followed by a champions dinner - steak and caviare washed down with the finest of wines. Last year marked the centenary of the event. Hundreds of zz family members rolled into town from places all around the globe. Cousins, Aunties, Uncles, nephews and nieces from far-flung places like Greenland, India and New Zealand were among the ensemble.

Well, @mrzz won the event. Staying on the bronco for 37 seconds, tying a family record, set by grandpazz in 1956. In the wild celebrations that followed, it's not widely known that mrzz commissioned a celebratory statue to be erected outside the grounds of his sprawling 96 room mansion.

Three months later, and at a cost of nearly $750,000 USD this is now firmly in place.

Bizarrely, this monument has become a huge tourist attraction in Sao Paulo. Many regard it as a rival to the Christ the Redeemer monument in Rio. Hence, the term "Red man's mansion" has become widely adopted as the unofficial name for mrzz's address. Flocks of pilgrims travel from all around South America to pay homage.

I know mrzz is a humble man and doesn't like his achievements being shared... (I can sense him blushing already)... but I think fellow forum members need to be aware that we have a legend in our midst. Long live @mrzz!

You know, nowadays you simply cannot find good artists anymore, the same way that you cannot find good people to clean your pools, good chauffeurs, a minimally capable young lad to polish your shoes. It is criminal! What's next, will I need to polish my own nails?

But, back to that incompetent artist (I was almost forgetting, but you had to remind me), he made look like a peasant. I am much more majestic than that.

 

[Moxie]

@mrzz: you so uoki-uoki, one might almost forget that you have shit-canned Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

And @britbox, you seem to forget the days when you didn't make the first page, either, hmmm?

Both of you guys think I make this thread for your amusement. (Ok, well...I do.)

@don_fabio finished runner-up in the ATP draw challenge! I don't recognize the names of #1 in ATP and #1-2 in WTA. Also, @tented 3rd in both.

My picks were quite good, not too bold like the guys who ended at the bottom Some fella logged in our group in the middle of the tournament and turns out he is a winner by 1 point. I get a satisfaction of more correct picks.
